I was worried whether the R&B brush shown would get enough soap from a shave stick to make a good lather, and I almost went with another brush. But I reminded myself that experience often contradictions expectations, so I went with it anyway. As it turns out, experience sometimes confirms expectations as well, and I had skimpy lather by the third pass, so I reloaded the brush.
Still, the lather in the first two passes was good, and Prairie Creations makes a fine soap. The Gillette Toggle did a very good job—not quite BBS, but close.
I used an aftershave milk from the Shave Den, which hit the spot. An aftershave milk is sort of a splash-like version of a balm, and the fragrance and effect of this one were quite nice.
The weekend begins.
