Friday, August 11, 2023

  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed A1 (1955)
  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (3)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Presto Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Moisturizing Post Shave Balm

I know Nivea doesn't get a lot of love around here, but I've always liked using their balm for when I don't have one that matches the soap (eg when using a soap sample, like today).

Nivea is a good balm. I saw the non-sensitive version in a store the other day and thought about picking it up... but it'll have to wait until I finish something else. I have the sensitive version and like it.
