This week's 3 day shaving soap is The Strop Shoppe Alpine Frost. Too bad it is no longer in business. Their products were very good.

Today's SOTD was a result of one of my all-time favorite brushless shaving creams, namely Noxzema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream. Applied by hand to my whiskers, and shaved by the General razor. The resulting shave was quite satisfying. I'll add the Noxzema to my rotation of shaving products from now on.

Second shave in a row with the Noxzema this morning. Quick and easy, and the face is as smooth as a baby's skin. It's the real deal.

This week's shaving cream rotation happens to be Caswell-Massey Number 6. I love my brushes but they're actually not necessary for the brush-optional CM product. The General razor with the Kai Captain or Schick P30 blades are the best combination I've ever used. That'll never change. This morning's brushless shave was approaching perfection, as expected. I'm a happy camper.
