Thursday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
Arko Stick
Jayaruh #54 synthetic
Schick M2 Adjustable
Personna
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Florida Water

Arko Stick Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #54 synthetic brush. Two passes with my Schick M2 Adjustable razor and a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Florida Water After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Very nice layout, i see you have Personna blades, i have a lot of Ted Pellas. Which do you prefer. I`m thinking the Pellas aren`t so sharp, i haven`t tried the Personnas yet ( i have so many Pellas, bought 100 to save shipping), still have 70 odd left. BTW, nice picture too.

54 turned out so beautiful!

 

Thursday's freeze will really not be so much of a freeze - just mild menthol!

Here's my setup:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Synthetic
Junjie/Astra day 4
Tcheon Fung Sing Sottozero SS
Italian Barber Amici AS

There you have it - a wonderful selection of goodies for my shave. Honestly, I'm loving my Plissoft brush so damn much that it's hard for me to use anything else, but soon I'll take my big Turkish horsehair out again. One more day with the Junjie and for Friday I'll transplant the Astra back to my Super Speed. That Sottozero soap is wonderful - an awesome scent with such great lather and a good post-shave feeling. Although Sottozero means below zero in Italian, the menthol effect of this soap may be a bit under that of the Proraso Green. The Amici aftershave is fairly cooling and does it ever smell fantastic with good longevity!

 

Great shot!

Wednesday:
hot shower w/Mistral Marzipan bar soap
Action PSO
Gillette Black Tip S/S 2+ passes
Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Ever Ready boar
DeVergulde Hand Extra Fris soap in a warm mug
Thayers unscented w/aloe
Paul Sebastian A/S balm

An adequate shave this morning at o'dark o'clock. I had to be on the road pretty early so I didn't have any extra time to post this until now.
Also I haven't had time to really read any SOTD's this week so I trust you're all having good shaves.

 

Actually I believe that the Ted Pellas and the Personnas are the same. Mine, in that magazine, are Personna Mini Hair Shapers that I loaded into an empty magazine and re-labeled as Personnas.

 

Thank you. I really like the Maggard knot, too.

SOTD (Hump Day)

Razor - 1937 Gillette Sheraton in case
Brush - Jim handle #17 / Omega big boar knot
Shave stick - Speick
Bowl - Tinned copper Turkish shave bowl
(Manual nasal trimmer)
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue

Like how the OC razors allow some lather to remain for rebuffing. The Gillette Blue blades have become my longest lasting DE blades so far.

 

The Personna & Pella Blades are One & Same Bill..Personna make them & Pella rebrand them..Personna & Pella work very closely together..

Personna Executive Injector
Feather Pro Blade ( Modified ) New
Kent BK2 Pure Badger
Monsavon Bol Tallow Soap

I had a Outstanding Dolphin Smooth Shave with My Brit made Personna Executive Tonight.. @Darkbulb Drools every time that I bring this very Rare Injector out to Play..This has got to be the Most Forgiving Injector that I Own..Even with the Notorious Feather Pro Blade its just so Darn Forgiving..I love the Dolphin Smooth Finish that the Feather Pro has to Offer..Its in a League of its own in my Books on that Score..Very Subtle Injector this One..I can use a Serious Amount of pressure with the Exec without a Hint of any Burn..It seems it was Designed that Way..The Face is quite a Unique Plastic Design that seems to Act as a Vacuum ..

The Limeys Sure Beat the Yanks with this One..
