Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Not the best shave this morning. Was able to locate a couple of pucks of the old Burt's Bees "Bay Rum" shave soap from back in the day. I had used this in the past when I first began traditional wet shaving and thought the soap left quite a bit to be desired. Over the years I wondered if the soap was truly sub par or if the disappointing lather was the result of my inexperience. Used it today and yep, the soap is pretty bad. Great scent but with a thin, whispy lather which offered no cushion. However, the lather was slick enough to prevent today's shave from being a complete train wreck. Looks like it will be relegated to the sink for hand-washing duty. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Super Speed and I finished with Quinn's "Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind" witch hazel, followed by Barberry Coast "No.28 Bay Rum" aftershave splash and "Bay Rum" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.
