Result: ... from yesterday's shave. It wasn't the ACD-N blade. Sharp as ever. I don't know what the problem was but the only thing different was the cream. Prep and everything else was the same for the shave. Today I got a 4.7/5.0 BBS shave with razors that had blades another day older. No technique changes. I used the Thayer's Moisturizer as an aftershave balm base. The Epicurean Shea Butter was used on my shins. I mixed the Em's Minty Aftershave with some Proraso Pre Post to give me an extra post shave kick. Needless to say, the blades were back to mowing whiskers with ease. The Omega brush was fine as a glycerin soap brush but I wouldn't use it for hard soaps. It's a hungry beast and likes to get fed. The Tryphon Medici soap has a very pleasant citrus smell to it.
