12/11 [/color] Hot shower [/li][li] Brush:[/color] None [/li][li] Cream:[/color] Water (H2O) [/li][li] Razor:[/color] Gem Micromatic [/li][li] Blade:[/color] TP shave (1) [/li][li] A/S:[/color] None [/li][li] Result:[/color] BBS with the quickness [/li][/ul] I guess I should explain this shave a little- Okay for those that don't know before I found wetshaving and DE,SE,SR's I shaved in the shower, and used only the running water for lather as the canned goo irritated my skin. I love the feeling of stropping and making lather and the scents from different creams and soaps. However once I have used a razor for a period of time and feel confident in my ability with it I give it the final test and attempt shaving with it in the shower (I don't do this with SR yet as I haven't built up the courage ). I do this because this is how I always shaved before weyshaving and it feels very comfortable to me. This also lets me know that if and when I ever find the perfect razor in each category to use I can incorporate it into my schedule whether it be busy or relaxing with full confidence that I will get a awesome shave. |

Interesting to add the noxzema to the mix....I got a nice tingle from it. EW's shave soap is really good IMHO. The 102 yr old razor is just such a treat to shave with for me!
