Looking good Henry! How did the shave go?
It was a blast!
Not BBS (very similar to my first DE shave), but not a blood bath either. No nicks, no irritation. So off I went to Colonial Drugs to celebrate. Can't wait to do it again!

Decided to give soaps another shot, and the result was a very good shave that has me pondering whether I'm a "cream man" after all...

Noxema and Glycerine 15 minutes before shower
Shower:
Hot shower. NO wash face !
After Shower:
Proraso Pre/Post Shave cream (massaged in)
Shave:
Caswell-Massey Dr. Hunter's Barber Shop Shave Creme
NO LATHER massaged in
Re-Appled
