Smoothest shave I have had in a very long time! MDC is wonderful stuff and I just can't recommend it enough, everyone should try this stuff at least once. I was planning on 3 passes with the Feather this morning, but I must have had more beer last night than I thought. First pass left me with a couple of cuts, one right under the nose that needed quite a lot of attention from the styptic pencil. I then decided to put the Feather away and finish off with the Ever-Ready as the hands were just not steady enough even with a Pro-Guard blade in. The Arko cream is my favourite post shave moisturiser, it feels greasy at first but it sinks right into my skin quite quickly and really works for me.
I got some of the Givenchy from another forum member as I had never tried it before, this is fast becoming a favourite of mine as well, especially once it has been on for a little while and had a chance to mellow a little. The bonus is that the wife actually really likes it as well.
A very nice shave today despite the cuts caused by beer induced shakiness, now off to a birthday braaii for my dads 67th and then await the other half coming home in a state after the Rewind festival.
Have a good weekend guys
