What a great shave this morning. The Tres Amigos whipped up the Route 66 Frozen Margarita into a wonderful slick lather. The cooling of the menthol felt great on a muggy morning. The Mongoose/Feather Super Pro combo provided a smooth and efficient near BBS 2 pass shave. I finished off the shave with the matching aftershave balm. A great start to the day. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday.
Excellent looking razor handle Clint. I also like the picture.

Preshave showdown
After reading many opinions on pre shaves, I decided to put Proraso White up against Jack Black Nourishing Oil. I've had good results with each in the past. After washing my face with Kiehl's Calendula face wash, I applied Proraso White to my left and JBNO to my right, letting them both do their thing for a few minutes. WSP lathered up very well at the behest of the Lather Monster, and applied evenly. I made three passes with the Futur 5-5-6, with a cold water rinse in between. During the final rinse, the JB side felt softer, but both sides were BBS with no drama. An hour later, the difference is reduced, but the JB side does still feel softer. I'll try this experiment a few more times to see if I can verify the results.
