Wednesday 8/24/11
Geneva Cutlery 6/8
New Forest 2211
Mem sc
Thayers Lemon WH w/ aloe
Speick a/s
Speick a/s balm
Chevignon Edt
As always, New York steel comes through with a fine shave. I had some trouble building the lather with the Mem but I think my brush was too wet initially, otherwise I had more than enough good lather for two passes and a jawline touch-up. Great finish with the Speick products topped off with the rarely used Chevignon Edt. And today will be better than yesterday.
