Post: Alum, Baxter’s of California Shave Tonic and Baxter’s aftershave balm.

I thought I’d overcome the irritation I got from this soap, but unfortunately not it returned. It smells and lathers amazingly but I’m likely to move it on once I’ve found a similar smelling soap, (which I’m struggling finding). The shave however I got from this blade was amazing! My smoothest shave for a while but despite the strong cooling menthol from the new cube, the soap somewhat spoilt this. It’s a shame I don’t get this reaction from another soaps from pinnacle or elsewhere.
