Post Shave


Aftershave Balm: Lucky Tiger Mint & Menthol Vanishing Cream 4
Aftershave Balm: Mama Bear Unscented Summer Aftershave Milk 3 [Link]






Result: 4.5/5.0 The Tryphon soap nice. I need to play around with the water ration a bit. The Progress razor shaved well as usual. I only give the Mama Bear ASB a 3+ because it really isn't that special as a balm. Lot's better stuff out there like Nivea or Proraso or Cade or Anherb, etc. The Tweezerman Brush is going to be put away as a travel brush. I lose it and I don't fret
over it.
