Shave of the Day ...of the Day Hot Shower + Proraso preshave cream Wadsworth 5/8 spike pnt. Stropped on 1 micron diamond paste and CrOx Semogue Hogs hair brush C.O. Bigelow in scuddle Pinaud Clubman
Menthol Monday Miracle Pre: TSD Iced SubZero Preshave Soap:TSD Iced SubZero SS Razor: Schick adjustable injector 7/5/1 Schick blade (shave 4 or 5) Brush: Plisson EW AS: Aqua Velva Ice Sport + Extra Menth Head Super Boost What a great shave. I waited until after work to shave since I was expecting the latest TSD Store box, but the weather had my head aching so bad I was nauseous. In a different thread Joanna told me that the ISZ themed Menthol Monday would make my headache go away and she was right! The Pre Shave was really great and a little really does go a long way! The Plisson easily whipped up the best lather I've gotten so far off the TSD soap. The sweet notes of the Aqua Velva Ice Sport were a perfect accompaniment to the sweet mint smell of the ISZ. Side Note: Saturday was an amazing shave with the Fat Boy cranked up to 9 and Gillette 7O'C SP Blue . Sunday I broke out the EJ DE86 with a Voskhod and struggled to get a good shave. The Jagger is definitely the prettiest razor I have, but something about it just doesn't work for me.
