Results: 4.6/5.0 OK, lot's of notes today. It was a Bay Rum Day. The Mama Bear Bay Rum and Citrus did not lather as well as the Spellbound Woods yesterday but acceptable. I added everything in my shave today just to show what I am currently using. I combined the Proraso pre-post cream with the Nivea Balm to make a nice custom balm. I'm really getting the hang of building lathers directly on my face. I had to break out the Remington Trimmer to get rid of some unsightly hairs. So, now I get to sit here and feel my soft, almost BBS face and smell the Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave while eating Chorizo Scramble for breakfast. Sounds good to me. :)
