• Prep: Hot shower
• Brush: Badger brush I've had forever with the maker's mark rubbed off
• Razor: Muhle Companion
• Blade: Astra Green (Indian)
• Lather: Goodfellow & Co - Moroccan Mint & Cedar Shave Cream

After carefully considering all of the shave creams available at Target, I chose this one because it was the cheapest. I suppose, if I had planned ahead, I could have double dipped and used this on goop day. Alas, a rookie mistake.

I squeezed out quite a lot of product while trying (and failing) to whip up a lather. I think this stuff is meant to just be slathered on without the aid of a brush. It's certainly slick enough, but no cushion at all. It smells very strongly of mint. I'm prepared to believe that there are cedar notes, too, but my nose couldn't really detect them.
