Today's shave felt really good. After a hot shower, I went with Fine Accoutrements & their American Blend scented soap which is suppose to be their take on Rive Gauche Per Homme (2003) with a touch of Gaiac wood. And to finish off today's shave, I went with their matching aftershave splash which has a really nice burn to it followed by a nice menthol chill:
The 42C was great. The fresh blade made a huge difference & this time, I remembered to strop it 2 times to remove the harshness of the first shave. My brush is getting the old fabric softener treatment even though the scratch it has felt really good & was very satisfying today, I felt that it needed it. Plus it helps keep the brush from absorbing all of my lather.
