Friday's shave
Vitos Extra Super Shaving Soap
Simpson Chubby 2 Best
Wilkinson Sword FX
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna Aftershave Balm
Surprisingly good shave with the FX two blade cartridge, but still not as comfortable as with a DE. I got it for use while traveling and avoiding the hassel with airport security. DE's are just very comfortable to use and I think it has to do with the weight of the razor and letting it do the job.
