SoS: January 9th ~ January 15th, 2012

New week, new shaves!

I'll kick off with the following set-up this morning:

Calani Cadre Noir shave soap
Mühle Basic Nr.2 shave brush with Silver Tip Fibre
BRW Bull Mastiff with Gillette New long tooth
Gillette 7 o’clock Sharp Edge (new blade)

Wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead!

 

Hot shower

Cologne (Jasmine)

 

Great Menthol Monday shave.

TSD preshave balm
OCMM/GEM PTFE
TSD ISZ soap (absolutely amazing!)
Cold water splash

Effortless BBS. OCMM and ISZ soap is a killer combo!

 

Gillette 59 fatboy set to 7
Astra blade (D-2)
Kent soap
Omega 10275 boar

DFS I dont remember setting the fatboy to 7, as my slim is always on 6 (as was the FB) but I'm liking the 7 felt great really smooth. Tiny brush only needed to be loaded up once for 3 pass shave + touch-up

 

Your thoughts on the razorock wax please and thank you.

 

Barbasol Razor w/ Voskhod (3)
Semogue OC Boar
Nord Ost SC
Alum
Nord Ost ASB

Just a quick one pass shave to start the week.

Too much residual irritation from the shave yesterday.

A good shave for what it's worth.

I'm still having wicked sinus pressure, so I thought a hot shower and some mentholated product might give me some relief. It was a great shave, no sinus relief. Maybe if I snort the ISZ ...

Have a great Monday!

PS .. I would never snort ISZ and neither should you!

Just ask your daughter how old she thinks you are and that will probably explain it. Unless she's old enough to really know your age, then it's just your wife wanting to keep you smelling younger which to me means she thinks you look younger too. Not too shabby either way!

 

Monday

Kraut & Donahl 9/16; Merkur Futur
Astra (4)
Altesse Badger brush
Omega soap
Aqua Velva

Decent shave from the K&D. Either beard must have been heavier than I tought, or Ineed to work on my technique with the smaller razor. I had still had stubble left on my neck after three passes with the straight so I had to drag out the Futur for some touch up on the neck. I am very spoiled with my three 6/8 straight razors!

 

Omega Boar Brush
Mama Bear's Northwoods Shave Soap-with 4 drops of da bomb
Gillette Tuckaway
Derby Blade
Master's Lilac Vegetol Splash
Phyto Expert AS Balm-finished off that sample today, luckily I have plenty of tet-a-tet still

Monday, January 9th

Razor: GIBBS Click Pen*
Blade: Schick Chromium*
Brush: Simpson Ehsan*
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Old Spice*
A/S: Trumper Marlborough*

I enjoyed a fine shave from products that are no longer in production. The Simpson Ehsan ginned up a fine lather from the Old Spice soap and the Gibbs Click Pen adjustable loaded with a fresh Schick Chromium blade mowed down the stubble with ease. A splash of Trumper Marlborough (no longer available as an aftershave splash) and I am ready for the day.

* indicates that the item is no longer in production.
