This morning:
Astra blade, day 3
Gillette Slim Adjustable, on 4
Edwin Jager medium best badger
Mama Bear Lime Oil shave soap
St Charles Shave Lime Splash after shave
Pinaud Lime Sec cologne
Another very nice shave, and in only 20 minutes due to less need for touch up than usual I think. The Mama Bear lime is wonderful. I've been using creams the past few days and made a deliberate decision to use a soap this morning.
The SCS Lime Splash has an incredible fresh lime smell, but if you don't like an a/s burn, this may not be for you. On top of that, an hour after the shave I could still feel some burn. May have to do with the e/o - there's no redness or anything, but I can feel it.
The Lime Sec was the low point of the shave. I have bottles of both this and the Citrus Musk, neither of which I particularly care for, and I have lots of other products, but hate to throw things out and this is cheap enough to use liberally. In hindsight, I would have used the Royall Citrus.
