FRIDAY A.M.
PRE: Clinique Skin Supplies for Men Liquid Face Wash, ex-strength
SHAVE SOAP: C&S, Oxford and Cambridge
SHAVE BRUSH: Somerset Simpson Duke 2, best
RAZOR/BLADE: Cobra Classic with Kai Captain Mild (unknown # of shaves on this blade)
POST SHAVE: Clubman styptic stick ... Crystal alum deo as astringent ... Rite Aid AV Ice Blue knock off... Clinique Post Shave Healer
Aside from two significant nicks, this 3-pass shave turned out just fine. But, my timidity about the Cobra remains. It must never be
approached with a cavalier or careless attitude.... respect is essential.
Enjoying wet shaving, again.
