Shave of the Day Jan. 6, 2011

Razor: 6/8 Wacker
Cream: Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna
Brush: Shavemac 177
Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Balm
Cologne: Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna



Once upon a time, shaving in the north Alabama area looked to be on the upswing with the introduction of a Crabtree & Evelyn store in the Bridge Street Town Center shopping plaza. Unfortunately, the company fell on hard times and eventually the store closed. The closest one is in Nashville, TN. A bad loss for the area because it was the only shop where one could get truly high end shave gear and their Best Badger brush at only $35 was one of the best bargains available. I hope we eventually get something similar in one day.

Sienna (and all Crabtree & Evelyn creams I've used) is a great shaving cream in both performance and scent. The website describes it as "A masculine blend of leather, citrus and spice - with just a hint of fire and herbs" and they're exactly right! It smells warm and spicy! The cream is thick in the jar with a consistency similar to Noxema cleansing cream and a little definitely goes a long way.
