Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Citris Musk Eau De Cologne





Result: 4.4/5.0 Recovering from yesterday. I use the Feather ACD-N just on cheeks and jaw line. No nicks, weepers or cuts and only minor redness on a couple of spots that were already beat up. The second go round with the Institut Karite 25% Shea Butter Soap was quite nice. I pre softened the soap a little longer and it bloomed nicely in the bowl and on my face.
