    This Glacial MITA soap is something for the books - what an insane freeze as well as awesome lather and skincare it has. I'm also crazy in love with the Diana balm and the Arctique aftershave splash, and the Shark blades are also pretty good! ;) :D

    Monday's Shave Plan:

    prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Ultimate Clean)in shower
    shave-Stirling Barbershop soap
    brush-WSP Pure Badger
    razor-Pivot DisposeABLE Nation from Gillette Sensor Deuce
    A.S.-Clubman Original Scent.

    The weather for this week here appears to be up and down temp. wise, so I'd like to get in 4, maybe 5, of "Team Stirling/Clubman"...probably won't get back to it again until the fall.

    Jayaruh TSD Challenge Boar
    Edwin Jagger 89bl Chrome

    CWR, Asma Alum Block

    The VDH Luxury Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh TSD Challenge Boar brush. I did two passes the Edwin Jagger 89bl Chrome razor and Asco Super Stainless blade, and I 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 Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Do you know what vintage the Merkur is? The original Progress had the same plastic guard plate but don't know when it was phased out.

    Sort of - to myself. No one in my family would know what to buy. I wanted to get a nice razor to celebrate the big 5-0 and really wanted a Wolfman. I did not think I had a shot and the OneBlade was on sale a Amazon. I used a couple of gift cards I had saved and decided to splurge. The funny thing is I kept trying to get a Wolfman and actually got lucky last week when James opened the store. I ordered a Wolfman and should get it this week. So I was able to swing two great razors! I never thought I would be successful getting an order in. I guess you only turn 50 once! I only used the OneBlade once - this morning for my birthday, but it shaved awesome. It really seems to be a great razor. Good to hear you have been enjoying it also.

    SUNDAY MORNING SHAVE
    20170403_004537.jpg

    Prep: Taconic Bay Rum Metholated
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Gillette Black (1/2 blade, 3rd shave)
    Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc
    Soap: WTF Christmas Time
    Post: Aloe Vera gel, PAA Sangre De Drago aftershave


    Wonderful shave this morning. The WTF soap whipped up a creamy lather in seconds, and the scent of Christmas Time is a pine type of scent but very pleasant. Got a excellent BBS shave with no complaints. Finished off with some Aloe vera gel and Sangre De Drago aftershave. Hope everyone had a great shave!
