Post Shave


Aftershave Balm: Mama Bear Unscented Summer Aftershave Milk 3 [Link]
Aftershave: Floid Italian Style Aftershave 4
Moisturizer: Thayer's Witch Hazel Moisturizing Lotion 3






Result: 4.4/5.0 A pleasant shave. Of all the Honeybee Spa soaps I have, this one smells the best. The soap performs about average for a glycerin melt and pour soap. The Italian Floid was a nice finish to the shave. I went lightly just under my chin. There is a tiny bump or blemish there I didn't want to cut.
