*Something went goofy with my blade. One side's cutting edge seems to have vanished between now and my last shave. I suppose it could have been like this all along and I just never noticed. Before the shave as I ran it through the cork I noticed that one edge seemed substationally less sharp compared to the other. I finished the shave using one side and tossed it.

Kyle's Preshave Prep

51 Aristocrat - New IP
Duke 1
Tabac Soap
Musgo Real Splash
Musgo Real Basalm

Switched to an IP. It starts off as usual, very promising, 3 passes BBS, no cuts, no irritation. It's always the next day when the ingrowns set in.

For those of you that don't know, Kyle's PreShave Prep works just as well with soaps as it does with creams.

Good morning, gents. After all the St. James frenzy, I decided to go back to La Toja superlather, and it was a nice change.
