    Best Shave Ever! Well, up there anyway. Today was a bunch of firsts for me. First time using a shave stick, first time face lathering, and first time using skin food (AS Milk) Two passes got me about as smooth as I've ever been. I know I should of used menthol, but I've been dying to try a shave stick. THANK YOU SHAVE BOX 2012!

    HAHAHA, if there is 1 very consistant injector user on this board it must be you. And what's in the setup on the first day of the injector Week? A NEW.
    I like that, sir!

    I once cut myself so badly with a Feather that I had to go to the hospital. I didn't need stitches, but they had to give me something to stop the bleeding. I also needed some painkillers and some medication to stop the nausea - it was brutal for me. I'll never touch that brand of blades again. :sick007:

    Monday, June 4th:

    Brush: Omega 6217 black badger
    Razor: E.J. DE89L
    Blade: Kroger branded Personna stainless, 1
    Cream: Musgo Real
    Toner: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel
    Finish: Speick AS splash

    Really nice shave today and much improved over the last two days of a '61 Slim on settings from 4-6 and a Shark SS blade. Don't know if it was the fact that I've hardly touched anything but my E.J. or my Merker 41c open-comb in months, or perhaps I'm just not liking the Sharks as much as the USA Personna and Feather blades these days. Maybe both??? Must perform test soon. Great shave today though.

    Today's Featured Shower and Shave

    Hot shower is the only way I can start the day off.
    Facial prep I have been using a bar of Proraso Glycerin, has been very effective in prepping the face for lather.
    Brush choice today Turkish #6
    Soap choice a "Mystery Brand Puck"
    Razor Choice Gillette Fat Boy, dialed to #6, blade Voshkod.
    A great two pass shave. :2thumbs:DFS. IMG_0295.JPG
