Sunday, November 29th
Razor: Schick M20 Adjustable Injector (on 3.0) Blade: Schick Injector (Chinese) Blades Brush: Shavemac 22369 Long-Handled Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Cream: Taylor Avocado A/S: Speick Aftershave Splash
I was in a rush today so I reached for the Schick injector and TOBS Avocado cream. I received a no nonsense BBS shave with zero irritation. The injector shaves so easily, it feels like cheating. The Speick Splash was soothing and refreshing.
