My 3 day shave began with one of my favorites - Caswell-Massey Almond brush-optional shaving cream. The best almond around, in my opinion.
I splashed water on my beard whiskers, scooped the shave cream with my fingertips and applied it generously to the whiskers, ran hot water on the brush of the day - the MadeRite - before using the wet brush to create the lather-like shaving cream, then I enjoyed just what I was anticipating - a comfortable and close shave. The face is left smooth and whisker-free.

Just to follow up regarding Caswell Massey shave cream. It's been in production in USA since 1752 and is a staple among my most preferred shaving accessories. Easy to use and provides a perfect shave in my own experiences, both in the application and the shaving, during and afterwards. Almond this past week and Ros later this month.
Shaving with C-M makes me happy. Cheers!
