sotd 14 Sept. 08 thru 20 Sept 08
Another 1 A.M. shave:
TSD Coffee soap
KMF Mint cream
EverReady pure badger
Wade & Butcher 5/8 barbers point
Loom strop
Alum Block
Masters Bay Rum a/s
3 passes, BBS. After using Ogallala Bay Rum going back to Masters was a bit of a let-down.
I suppose I got too used to the strong aroma of OBR., but the Masters also left my face feeling sticky, which I didn't care for.
