    SOTD 2/24/16
    Prep: Hot Shower/ Dove Men's Face Wash
    Pre-Shave: Proraso White Cream
    Soap: Catie's Bubble La Terra Verte
    Brush: Vie Long Horse/ Badger Mix
    Razor/ Blade: Gillette Flair Tip Super Speed/ Personna Platinum Red (1)
    Astringent: Witch Hazel
    Post-Shave: SC Integrity Balm
    Aftershave: Captain's Choice Sandalwood
    Very nice shave last night. Catie's Bubbles never lets me down. The lather is good and post-shave is great. I enjoy this Vie Long brush a lot too. Would I replace it for my other brushes, no, but it is a nice addition to my den. Feeling very good today and having some warmer weather. The LTV is a very nice scent, masculine and not being too green. I originally thought it was going to be a fougere, but it isn't. I really enjoy Captain's choice Sandalwood too. Has a sandalwood cologne scent, plus a bay rum background and it is really nice. Have a nice day everyone!

    Razor: Gillette Tech (Jason).
    Blade Rapira Platinum Lux(4)
    Brush: Omega Syn.
    Cream: Proaso White Tube.
    Oil: Homemade (orange scent).
    Bowl: Soup Bowl from Kitchen.
    As: Nivea balm.

    The lather was superb, slick and smooth. 1st. pass, WTG. 2nd pass, ATG/XTG, then small amount of clean up. Voila ! Guess what...... yep, I`m feeling my face as we speak. I haven`t felt a BB in a long time, butt there is a definite comparison. How often can one feel elated over a simple morning shave? I really love this razor!!! Thanks Jason. BTW, this is the first razor I can remember, where I get every single hair from under my nose.

    image.jpeg Razor: Gillette 85 Super Adjustable "Black Beauty” (p2) 1970 named “The Black Pearl”
    Brush: Badassshaving Flaming Birch Black Badger 24/55
    Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
    Cream: TOBS Grapefruit cream
    Blade: Feather (2)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, Jack Black balm, Halston Z-14 cologne

    Whipped up the TOBS in a minute with the Badger. Nice slick cushion and I really like the scent. The heavy head on the "Pearl" gave me a nice smooth shave with no pressure with a Feather blade set on 5, WTG and XTG on my face and neck. Then ATG set on 3. Very smooth. The Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera felt good on my face and that natural scent was nice and fresh. After cleanup, I smoothed on some Jack Black, and then some Halston Z-14 cologne Y'all have a good one

    NOTE: Gentlemen, in my post earlier, i compared my face to a BB. Let`s face it, there is no way on God`s green earth that the cheeks on this 80 yr. old face can compare to the cheeks on a 6-8 mo. baby`s cheeks. I was merely trying to describe the BBs Shave I got. Just bear with me. Thanks.

    Nothing new for todays soft or hardware. A close comfortable shave with nary a nick and no irritation. I think tomorrow I'll unwrap a fresh blade and do a side by side comparison of my other Fat Boy. Both are '59's. My old friend is a 4th quarter, the one to compare a 1st quarter. My brother has a birthday coming up. If they shave the same, he'll get the younger razor because I'm the big brother. Otherwise I'm keeping the good one. :happy088:
