Was off so such a long time! It is nice to get back home... and found the hot water cut off . Cold water shaving week, guys and gals!
Was in trip (3 weeks the shaves we the same):
Merkur travel
Muhle travel best badger brush in nickel
Red Line SC/Palmolive shaving stick (alternating days)
Cold water splash
Everest AS balm/w cologne

Back home and right to the cold water Menthol Monday!
Merkur 23C/Astra
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Ceramic bowl
Gada Cool Mint SC
Mayor Energy Platinum AS splash
The cream is drying so I have to use the bowl to lather it as it squeezes as half-hard mass that drops down from the brush. But in the bowl it still shines! Great cream from a great friend of me! VERY COLD but a pleasant shave. It is +13C outside so if feels very... awakening

Another beautiful shave this morning. Though after a few of your guys' pictures, I really want to get a few 6/8" straights to try them out.!

 

No worries ... just stating my desire!

 

Good morning from Singapore!

A very easy and laidback Tuesday shave:


Martin de Candre ‘Savon de Marseille’ face wash
Martin de Candre Lavender shave soap
Mühle Basic Nr. 02 shave brush with Silver Tip Fibre
A few drops of Musgo Real pre shave oil
Gillette Sensor II (2nd shave)
D.R. Harris Arlington after shave


A wonderful day to all of you! Gotto run, work’s more than busy today…

 

How on earth did you do it???? You seem to have taken to honeing .......like a duck to water!!!! I am envious

 

OCD. I read and study things way more than I should before jumping in, and then I'm just careful as hell when I do. I won't lie, I had a couple of moments with my coticule that made me shake my head at myself, and it's more touch-up honing right now. I'm not NEAR the skill level of Jamie or Glen, but I have the patience and desire to get that good.

 

Monday
Brush: Vie-Long Horse
Soap/Creme: Poraso Sandalwood
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Astra SS
Pre: Hot shower
Post: Prep As Balm
Hair Groom: Gables Cream-oil

Thanks - I hope by the end of next month I will then have a camera!

 

Monday 14 May
This was a morning shave, but its my first chance to post today since I had drive to upstate NY.

Mem shave cream
Simpsons Berkley 46, face lather
Gem Micromatic, Gem SS blade
Alcolado Glacial splash, and proraso ASB.

A nice quick two pass shave before hitting the road, DFS. I'm really enjoying the Mem cream, nothing fancy, but very good skincare and glide. I decided to take it with me on this weeks trip.

Have a great day.

 

Hey Johnny, how do you find then new Proraso products?

 

Knotty Badger EJ Gregorian

Good Morning , 15-05-2012

Shower with bar Marseille type soap from L' occitane
Merkur Progress
Blozano Blade
Semogue OC boar Ash handle
Arko stick
Fa Lotion

 

I really like them. The after shave seems to last longer than the old formula and to me the new cream and soap are a little slicker than the old formula.

 

Tuesday 15th May

Hot shower and facial scrub
Proraso Sensitive Pre shave cream
Feather Artist Club SS (Japanese style)
Vie-Long Horse/Badger Brush
Ogallala Bay Rum and Lemongrass soap
Alum Block followed by a few drops of Re-Gen oil
Pashana Bay Rum
Morgans Classic Pomade

An excellent 2 pass shave to start the day

 

Tuesday 15 May

Mem shave cream
Omega boar travel brush, face lather
EJ89, with Gillette 7O'Clock Super Platinum (blue) blade.
Visal after shave gel (chilly).

This was a quick three pass shave, DFS+. The super platinum blue was very smooth. I purchased the visal gel awhile ago and decided to pull it out for this trip. Very chilly, I wanted to see how it would go without the splash. Tomorrow I will try it with the Alcolado Glacial. Lets see how it works today.

Have a great day.
