Thursday, 21 July Gem MM Clog Pruf Gem SS/PFTE Blade (2) Made-Rite 500 PB Brush Euro Palmolive Cream Barbasol Pacific Rush I resumed my regular shaving routine (2 pass with touch-up) and had a very close shave. It was nearly as comfortable as yesterday's single pass shave too. ______________ Jeff What do you use for touch up pass? I use witch hazel. Possum use's a oil pass. Curious as to yours. Fuzzy Fuzzy, Does the witch hazel evaporate too quickly to provide enough lubricant for the touch up pass?

- Prep: Hot towel and shower
- Brush: C&E BBB

- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 3)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil

What do you use for touch up pass? I use witch hazel. Possum use's a oil pass. Courious as to yours. Fuzzy I squeeze out what's left of the cream I've been using from my brush and use that. It's usually a little on the thin side but it works pretty well for me. __________ Jeff
