Wednesday
- Merkur HD w/Feather blade
- C&E Nomad shaving cream
- Corrn Husker's Lotion and a little G.F. Trumper's Limes Skin Food

I decided to treat my face today, and while I got a very smooth shave I also lost some blood from the veryfront of my Adam's Apple. (My t-shirt took one for the team and my favorite seersucker shirt was spared the agony of collar bloodstains. Thank you, t-shirt!)

I put CHL all over my face & neck, and dotted the Skin Food on just a few sore spots. There was no appreciable difference, and I just may stick with plain CHL in the future.

(I put some CHL on my 4-year old's dry hands, and now he asks for "corn lotion" at bedtime. My wife is mystified, but successfuly guessed that it came from you guys.)

Hey Rajeeve, I just picked the same tube of the Lider today. How does it shave? It smells good, but reading the Polish is tough because they had another flavour so I just grabbed the green tube.

WED:

Tweezerman brush
Mama Bear Patchouli
Merkur HD
Israeli

I then switched back to my Progress and a Derby , felt as though the HD was too aggressive and was dragging.

Pinaud Clubman A/S (just a bit on my face, not my neck)

Not a bad shave.

Bruno, The Pollena Lider cream in general, shaves very well. However the scent of the Classic (green tube) reminds me of windex. I like the smell of the Active (blue tube) version though and for $1.50 how can you go wrong?

Next time your at the store pick up a blue tube of the Lider cream and I can assure you, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks Rajeeve, I will pick it up next time I go down there. You are right about the price, very cheap for some fine creams in that place.
