    Today's Shave:
    Preparation: Warm Shower and RS Cream
    Razor: TI 6/8
    Brush: Semogue 830
    Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Toner: Thayer's
    Post: Skincado Balm


    Not a bad shave today, better than what I have been getting. I think I am going to ditch the pre shave oils. Whatever benefits that possible could be derived from them are negated by the gunk they leave behind. I did order some Cast Forbes pre shave. I got the travel size in case I do not like it. That stuff ain't cheap, ya know? Hopefully it will be here in the next few days along with some other items. I did have to clean up a bit with my Gillette after two passes with the TI. Oh well, I have been in a bit of a funk lately. I think what I liked about today's shave was the MWF. I think I am turning into a rabid fanboy who will only shave with it. Let's see. The Scodioli soap should be arriving soon. Name:  IMG_0490.jpg
