Stellar Shave!

• OneBlade
• Smiling GEM PTFE (2)
• Bufflehead 5th Season
• Plisson Pearly Gray
• Chatillon Lux La Forêt de Liguest

After experimenting with a clipped GEM blade to lie flat in the OneBlade, I highly prefer the smiling GEM. Better performance, less hassle, and consistently repeatable are the 3 biggest reasons why.

Bufflehead is a great soap to use after a few rougher shaves. This soap offers one of the best combinations of slickness and protection. Topped off with some aftershave from Chatillon Lux and it's hard for your skin to be treated better.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Subpar shave
I tried out a cream today that contains lots of great ingredients, including tea tree, menthol and açai (though I don't know what benefit the latter offers). It is a smear and go latherless cream. I used a thin layer of pre shave oil to start, then applied the cream. The directions say to wait a bit to let the ingredients do their work. While I waited, the menthol cooled my skin. The first pass was easy and I noticed that this cream needs hot water to rinse off the razor. My usual cold water just made a mess. I re-smeared for each pass and got a close shave on my face, but irritation on my neck. I don't know if I should blame the cream or if the PSO interfered somehow, so I'll have to do this again to make sure. The cream seems slick enough, but I wasn't sure how much to put on, so I might have over done it a bit. The scent is minty and not too medicine-like. I used B&M Classic Splash to soothe my neck, which it did very well.
