Post Shave

Aftershave Balm: Nivea Extra Soothing Sensitive Skin Balm
Aftershave: Em's Place Minty Menthol Aftershave and Body Splash
Facial Toner: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel & Aloe Toner
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc





Result: 4.6/5.0 BBS and didn't cause any more damage. That's a good thing. Kent Milled Shave Soap is very hard and needs softening up with a little bit of water beforehand and use lots of water when making lather. This soap will dry you out so don't skimp on hydration. When it's properly wet, it makes everything glide with ease. The ACD-N loved this soap. The Merkur Slant almost had nothing to do.
