• ASB: Nivea Sensitive Skin After Shave Balm (old forumla, German made)
• AS: Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum
• Post: Cold Water Rinse, Double Splash of Aftershave

I have not used the DE89 in a while and I am trying to decide if I want to purchase a more expensive Mühle (because I like the handle), even though it is the same head. The shave was excellent but I am not sure if it warrants me spending a fair amount of money on another razor.

My skin has been real dry lately so not only did I use the Nivea today, but also the Krampert's. I really need to use the Acadian Spice more often, as it smells great and offers superior skin conditioning.
