Soap: La Toja Stick
Razor/Blade: Parker 71R/Polsilver Super Iridium (S #2)
Post: Thayers AS Splash/Clinique ASB

Determined to give la Toja a fair shake since I really like the scent and the ingredient list. Nicked myself today, but that wasn't the soaps fault. Other than that it was a really nice shave today, Maybe I just need a bit more practice with the La Toja.

Keepin' it simple today. I didn't really need to shave this morning. Yesterday's shave was so smooth. But I know about 3 or 4 pm I'll need a touch up. Since I will be going to church this evening, I thought I'd nip that early.
Once I get really proficient with the SR, days like this that's what I'll use. But right now I get a closer shave with the DE because I've got my technique down with that. So that's what I chose. One pas WTG, one ATG, and a pass XTG over my chin, jawline, and under the neck. Nice.
When I get ready to walk out the door this evening, I'll add a bit of the Halston cologne I've got.
Have a great shave, everyone!
