Tuesday night showershave
Gillette Guard
(I take a cartridge in to the shower... Hey, if you're into nakedness and razor blades, I'm not judging you)
Kiss My Face Lavender & Shea (KMF L&S)
(Lathers nicely, but today worked just as well un-lathered, spread on my mug like a pre-shave)
Plisson/L'occitane
(Spreads KMF L&S on my mug 8.4 percent better than my fingers, with only 12.3 percent more practice)
Nivea Originals Balm
(One of the giants for me, but not the "sensitive" kind, which smells a lot like Gloy from 1980's primary school rooms)
Cabana L'arrive
(Smells a lot like Werther's Original from 1980s primary school rooms)
The Guard is always a pleasure (it's my 4th favourite open-comb). I had considered filling the handle up with something to make it heavier, but realised the handle is designed to be held with the open end to the tap, rinsing the blade from both sides. Gillette do still make a single blade razor, and a very well designed one, which gives me some hope.
