Tuesday 3/24 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: The "Ever Roddy" an Ever Ready 300 refurbished with a silvertip badger knot by The Knotty Badger
  [*]Cream: C&E Sweet Almond Oil
  [*]Razor: '30's Gillette NEW with Ball End Handle
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 7)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Clubman Club Complete ASB
  [*]EDT: 4711 Cologne
  
  [*]Result: BBS shave today. No blood. There is something special about my Gillette NEW razors. Never have a problem getting a great BBS shave with either one of them. Even when the blade is on its last legs or the lather is not up to par. Just great razors I guess.

 

Tuesday: Lux 3 piece razor / Shark Stainless blade d1 / Arko SS / VDH brush / Florida Water Cologne

The Lux/Shark combo is very harsh to me. A really close shave but not comfortable at all.

 

Tuesday...

Razor(s): '58 SS TV Special & Gem Micromatic
Blade(s): 7 o'clock black day 2 & PAL
Soap: C&E Sandalwood
A/S: Clubman bay rum

Brought out the Gem for a couple of sections of the first two passes, if nothing more than to say I used one. Ok, but nothing spectacular. Finished normally. Very nice indeed. I need to try this blade in the fatboy or red tip to really gauge it's performance. I have the feeling it's gonna be a good 'un.

Tuesday morning:

Merkur Futur / Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge (yellow box)
Plisson 12 HMW
Valobra stick, grated
Bourbon Parfums EdC; Clinique Post-Shave Healer
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet EdT

This was shave six with the Futur/7 O'clock combination. So far, it just seems to get better. This blade is probably a bit sharp for me right out of the box, but it seems to be mellowing just a bit with use. It will be interesting to see how long it keeps up the smooth shaves.
