Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Long-Handled Progress
Blade: Ladas SS
Brush: EJ Best
Soap or Cream: Erasmic Cream (metal tube)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Ogallala Bay Rum, Sage & Cedar Toner
A smooth and comfortable shave this morning. I'm trying to use up the Erasmic and probably won't repurchase it. It does the job quite well and I find the scent very pleasant, but there are so many good creams out there. By the time Erasmic reaches our shores, the pricing is right up there with some creams that I consider to be better. I may change my mind after I've been without it for a time. I still have half a tube remaining at this point.
