Thursday

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: Cella
Brush: Vie-Long "Chacurro" Horse Hair
Razor: E4 Gillette Fatboy(7)
Blade: Crystal (1)
AS: Franken-aftershave
ASB: L'Oreal Paris Men's Expert Comfort Max
Fragrance: 4711 EdC

1st: N-S, 2nd: S-N, 3rd: A
TG where needed. Result: DFS, nearly BBS.

A couple of firsts this morning. I created my own "Franken-aftershave" using one-part Pinaud Clubman Aftershave, one-part 4711 Cologne, and one-part Witch Hazel. The Clubman and 4711 have a number of ingredients in common, but the 4711 is more "citrusy" while the Clubman comes across as more floral. But the 4711 has no witch hazel, so I boosted that component. I liked it, and SWMBO did too. Also, I tried the L'Oreal ASB for the first time, and I like it very much. Nice feeling of protection, but not at all greasy or sticky. And it has SPF-15 sunblock to boot. Another great shave with the Crystal, confirming my opinion that it is a "best buy" blade.
