Couple of great shaves. The AOS Badger is new so not broke in yet. I hope it gets to be as good as the vintage Badger I have.

Friday, 20 May:

Gem OC MM
Gem SS/PFTE Blade (5)
Made-Rite 500 PB Brush
KMF Key Lime Cream
Vi-Jon Ivy Club Classic Splash

Shave with the OCMM was great but I'm just not liking the KMF cream much. It produces a decent amount of lather but fades far too quickly. Has anyone else had that experience with it? Looking forward to my Palmolive shave stick tomorrow!
