HAPPY EASTER 2014
PRE: QED French Red Clay face soap
SHAVE SOAP: AOS Tallow, lavender
SHAVE BRUSH: Somerset Simpson Duke 2, best
RAZOR/BLADE: EJ 89, Octagonal with Personna Med Prep (1)
POST SHAVE: Crystal deo stick as a/s astringent ... Trumper Portugal EdT as A/S ... Clinique Post Shave Healer
For the last several shaves I had used the Cobra Classic and experienced more shave bumps than over the past 3 years.
to give my face a rest hadn't shaved in 3 days and today grabbed the EJ89 and slapped in my first ever Med Prep. 2 1/2
passes later and can report a close clean result. We'll see if the bumps resolve themselves.
