    FRIDAY EVE
    For Saturday
    Another very good shave with The Montague (it sounds so sophisticated, "Jeeves, I believe I'll shave with The Montague this eve..." "Excellent choice, sir.")
    Airs of pomposity aside, it is a very comfortable razor. Used in conjunction with the Wool Fat made for a very cozy combo. I decided to go with a UK product theme tonight since I started with the razor & Fat; added the Simpson and the DRHarris to wrap it up. Jolly good!

    Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

    OMG, it just doesn't get any colder than this. This set-up would be perfect for Menthol Monday because every item I used is bone-chillingly frigid. The Neutrogena facial wash started the wheels in motion, the Glacial Obsidian soap hit me like ten tons of icy bricks and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel continued that freezing sensation. I think I'll use these exact same products for Monday's shave. The Sharp blade gave me an excellent shave, but now it's starting to show some signs of fatigue but I think it'll do the job for tomorrow.;) :D

    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower

    Soap/cream- Haslinger, schafmilch rasierseife

    Brush- The body shop Synthetic

    Razor- Gillette slim adjustable (3)

    Blade- Astra SP(2)

    Post- Cold water rinse, Speick for men and Nivea aftershave balm

    A nice 2 pass shave WTG and some XTG strokes on stubborn patches.

    The Haslinger shave soap was a gift from Martin. And I like it very much. If was Easy to lather and very very slick. I got some razorburn, but I blame my technique and not the soap. First time using the soap too, so maybe I will eliminate that until next time. The burning is all gone now so it was a minor razorburn =)

    Lately I have skipped the preshave oil just to see how my shaves are without it. I'm not sure if it is because of this, but I might be getting better shaves without it. I'm stil learning what's best for my skin. Experimenting will tell =)

    Oh and the Speick AS is very liked! It might become a permanent member of the family

    Have a good one everybody!

    Saturday:
    hot shower w/Pinaud Clubman scented body wash
    Somersets PSO
    H Boker straight 2 passes
    StickSchick 2 passes
    Personna Platinum Chrome (9)
    Burma Shave boar
    TOBS St James cream in a warm mug
    Thayers unscented w/aloe
    TOBS St James AS

    Maiden voyage for the Boker after sending it off to Gem Star Customs to have it made shave ready. Not sure what the original purpose of the rounded tip and notch was but it sure makes it easy to avoid earlobes and the corners of your nose.

    B&M Saturday
    Today I tried out Lavanille for the first time. It's the tallow version, and it's a winner. It has the usual B&M smooth performance with a complex scent. I certainly smell lavender and vanilla, but also a peppery scent and others I cannot identify yet. I'll use this for a few days to see what else I can detect. My cheeks feel amazing, but my neck is a bit tender due to technique.
    Prep: ATG
    Soap: B&M Lavanille tallow
    Brush: HIS XL
    Razor: iKon SC101
    Blade: Personna lab blue (3)
    AS: B&M Kyovu Bay Rum

    Saturday 09/20/14

    Prep: Gaia face scrub
    Oil: Shave Secret
    Brush: 20mm Whipped dog set deep
    Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery
    Razor: Gillette new open comb (long)
    Blade: Ladas
    soap: Geo. F. Trumper LILAC
    Post: alum sprayed on
    Witch Hazel: Generic rose scented
    AS: Sampson's all natural

    I used Geo. F. Trumper LILAC today because I was in a mood for a light floral scent. This is an O.K. soap, but for me lacks the slickness and cushioning required for an SE shave - which is why I used a DE instead. It does have a great scent.

    She's a beaut!
    There is much speculation on the 'barber's notch' but I've yet to read anything definitive. You really come to appreciate the value of round tips after you've managed to nick yourself a few times with a square point! ;)

    Thanks, I am very fond of this brush. Oscar11 does great work.

    I have used the Feather AS-D2 almost exclusively in the several weeks that I have had it. I like it very much. It is similar to a vintage Gillette Tech in mildness, but smoother and feels so much better in the hand. It pairs great with sharp blades like Feather and Kai.

    SOTD September 20

    Prep: hot shower
    Razor: G. Wostenholm and Son CANUCK
    Brush: Vie-Long
    Cream: Arko Extra Sensitive
    Passes: 2 (WTG, XTG)
    Post: Witch Hazel

    Stropping on leather was almost enough... two passes almost got me a DFS, but the edge has lost some of its edge for anything more. No irritation but a fair bit of tugging.

    Saturn's Day:

    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub Cleanser, TSD Jasmine Sambac Preshave balm
    Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
    Cream: Speick
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
    Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (2)
    Passes: WTG, XTG (4, 5)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Dickinson's WH, Speick AS splash
    Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

    Holy lather monster, Batman. I don't recall the last time I bowl-lathered the Speick with my badger brush, but it quickly produced enough lather to shave a Wookie. I could easily have gone on for a third, fourth, or seventh pass today; it wasn't as if I was experiencing any nicks or irritation, either, thanks to the lather and the comfortable Bic/41c combo. However, my shave yesterday was so close that 3 passes weren't really necessary, so I stopped before possibly re-opening any weepers.
