Type L Schick injector Rite Aid blade Williams soap Ever-Ready 300 brush Old Spice A decent shave at best. I've forgotten how mild the L is, and actually broke out a G type to finish things up which meant a lot more passes over certain areas than I'm used to with the GEM's, and most DE's for that matter. I may just retire it permanently.

Tonal silver-tip badger brush Valet Autostrop razor Ted Pella blade, modified (3rd use) American Crew pre-shave oil Kiehl's White Eagle brushless shave cream up & up (Target house brand) witch hazel Kiehl's Multi-Purpose Facial Formula For Men Navratna Cool Talc Alt Innsbruck EdC (Kevin's sample) Today, I tried a sample of Kiehl's White Eagle formula brushless shave cream. I tried using it with a brush and that proved to be a mistake. I could not get a close shave and only bothered with two passes. While my face wasn't irritated at all, the shave was about the quality of a Fusion/Aveno canned gel shave, maybe not even as good. I'm glad the company store was handing out free samples because I certainly would not buy it. They do a lather shave cream, too, but were out of samples at the time. I must stop in again to see if they ever got them in; it has been a few months. They also gave me a sample of their Multi-Purpose Facial Formula for Men which they recommend for an aftershave balm. It was okay but I've had better for less. For example, I much prefer the Neutrogena Post Shave Balm; It's 1/3 of the price, too. Oh well, the Alt Innsbruck cheered me up.
