    Hello folks, today's SOTD is brought to you by Gillette Milord Tech! -

    [​IMG]

    1946 Gillette Milord Tech.
    1948 Gillette Blue Blade.
    Simpsons Duke 2 pure badger.
    Proraso Blue shave cream.
    Proraso Blue post shave balm.
    Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve as.
    Safari for Men edt cologne.

    Today's shave was the end result of everything coming together to a perfect ending. Starting with yesterday's shave. Yesterday's shave was so close, there wasn't a lot to take off today. But what there was, the Milord Tech took it off in fine style. Another BBS today! Have a great day everybody!

    Early morning rise shave. Hot & humid @5:30am. Kept the set up simple today. But a wonderful shave by the RR Dead Sea, RR Dead Sea A/S Splash! Truly a unique scent that has to be experienced. The post shave feel was excellent and whatever is in the Dead Sea soap left my face soft, clean and moisterized. The splash was icing on the cake. Have a great day and shaves Gents....:happy088:

    Razor: Parker Variant (3,2.5,2)
    Blade: Kai
    Brush: Maggard 26mm Synthetic

    I haven't tried this head using its dodgy dedicated top cap (made by Pearl, nee RR Jaws, sold currently as PAA Symmetry) but with the nice SABI/Matador/Boss cap and perfect alignment this cheapy is a top razor. Closer (for me) on the first two passes than the R41-13 and Rockwell on 6, and if not as smooth as the Shake Sharp or Rockwell it's still a pleasure to use. One oil application for 2 passes near BBS, a final application for clean ups. Don't even mind being up at 4:30.[​IMG]

    Wednesday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Nivea Men Face Wash
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #188
    Gillette Tech
    Personna Super
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Lucky Tiger

    I am really liking this brush. It is a keeper for me. Finally got my green brush.

    The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #188 synthetic brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Tech razor and Personna Super blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I have very olive skin but I make it a point to really lay on the SPF 30 copiously. South Florida doesn't quite have the extreme heat and humidity that my country, Israel has in the summer but yes, the summers there are sweltering. Sunscreen does NOT prevent tanning - in fact it allows a sunbather to stay out longer in the sun and still get very dark with considerably less damage to the skin, if used PROPERLY . I don't wait two hours to re-apply it, I re-apply it every half hour. My natural pigmentation is almost that of someone from India or Pakistan so when I get a tan it's not only extremely dark it's verging on black. Strangely enough, my origin is Russian-Jewish and my wife is of Moroccan-Jewish origin. She's olive-skinned also but less than myself. Our daughter is very dark as well - she has my wife's beauty but my color. :)
