Post Shave: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Margaritas in the Arctic uses menthol as its cooling agent. Very refreshing for a hot summer’s day.
I chose to lather with a bottle of Fiji Water. My choices were Fiji Water or Saratoga Springs Still water. The blue of the Saratoga bottle doesn’t fit with the color scheme and Fiji sounds much more exotic, so Fiji Water must be better. Right?
Anyway, I used Fiji Water for soaking the brush, dipping the brush (to hydrate the lather), wetting the face, and rinsing the face before, during, and after the shave. The lather experience using the Fiji water was much … the same as with tap water. I could not tell any difference in between Fiji Water and tap water for shaving. I don’t drink my tap water, though.
