SoS: March 28, 2016 - April 3, 2016

You've been giving that Schick lots of love. Glad it is working out so well for you!

 

Thank you Andrew, it's a lot of fun to shave with.

 

How do you rate the Face Food, compared to other brands with respect to it's healing properties?

 

I suddenly got a craving for a a good pipe. And I haven't smoked since the turn of the century! Google tells me you had about 20 degrees today in Gelsenkirchen? We have had rain and seven degrees in the Oslo area... Not quite there yet, although the snow is gone

 

Absolutely!

 

Yeah, around 20 degrees...It felt a bit warmer sitting directly in the sun. I am mad on rain and cold temperatures. It's annoying. Today was the very first time that i smoked a pipe outside. Normally i smoke in my Flat with the Window open. I love the scent a pipe gives as a roomnote. Great!!!

 

3/3/16 - GEM maiden run


First shave with the GEM Micromatic and a PAL blade. Not bad. 2 passes and pretty decent, but finished with the 'Trac II for my lower neck. I also tried a head shave with it, but it was not "clog pruf" with 1 week of stubble, so grabbed the New LC to mow it down and then finished with the Trac II. Observation - the Trac II is fine and is what I shaved with from about age 17 until 25 or so. It doesn't do much for me but will be handy for travel.

 

Right out of the gate the Sharp Durablade was smooth and had no problem gliding through my whiskers. Not quite as sharp as my favourite blades but sharp enough to deliver a comfortable bbs in 3 passes! Have a great day everyone!

 

Hello fellow Shave Denizens, today's SOTD as follows;

1920's NDC Gillette Single Ring.
Indian Wilkinson Sword blade.
Vintage Ever Ready 500PBT brush.
Proraso Red shaving soap.
Nivea post shave balm.
Vintage English Leather as splash.
Vintage English Leather cologne.



It was a very satisfying shave. I haven't used this model 102A in a while. I'm glad I used it today. BBS in two passes. A fantastic shave!

 

Leider ist unser Wetter schrecklich sowie kalt. Heute ist es nur -6C!!!!!

Mein lieber, bist Du mit die Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Seife vertraut? So viel Schaum der sehr leicht anzuschlagen ist, der Duft ist toll und ich mag die beruhigende Hautpflege!

Einen guten und erholsamen Sonntag, mein Freund!

-6 Grad?! Brrrrr....zu kalt für mich!!! Wird Zeit dass die Sonne rauskommt und es warm wird.

Die TFS Bergamotto Neroli Seife kenne ich nicht, aber ich besitze den Aftershave Balm. Der riecht und pflegt richtig toll. Die Seife werde ich mir vielleicht irgendwann mal kaufen.

Dir auch noch einen wunderschönen Tag mein Freund.

 

Very informative, also a well organized post, thank you.

Bill
