Another crazy early post for my Saturday morning shave! Here are the tools: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Monster Junjie/Astra day 6 Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS Stirling Glacial Spearmint AS Balm Stirling Lemon Chill WH Inspired by my dear friend Ray, I bought this wonderful Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap and I'm so happy that I have it because there's everything to love, provided that you can tolerate and enjoy super-strong menthol. A great brush like a Plissoft whips up such awesome, rich lather that can freeze you out of house and home while moisturizing and soothing your skin. The Glacial Spearmint balm in conjunction with the Lemon Chill witch hazel add their own special freeze, and these three scents all go very well together!
Friday: hot shower w/Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve scented body wash Action Solutions PSO Gillette Black Beauty (short) 3 passes Diplomat Platinum Plus (3) Maggard Tobacco & Leather soap in a warm bowl Omega boar Thayers unscented w/aloe GFT Spanish Leather A/S Maiden voyage for my $12 Gillette and it performed nicely. Again just another average performance from the Diplomat Platinum Plus so it got retired after just three shaves. First time using the Maggard T&L after receiving a sample and it made a very nice lather.
Saturday planned shower(a change is being made!) Bodywash-Dial 4 Men Deodorant Soap-Coast("The Eye Opener") Shampoo-Suave For Men(Heritage Edition, 1937) Deodorant-Mennen Regular I've always been a Coast fan, but I had to get the Dial 4 Men in bulk, as the last time I ran out, the Coast was nowhere to be seen. Glad to have it back. Coast now has a Bodywash, but nowhere around here(that I know of)
TGIF! Man what a day. At least I had a great start with the Grande Dame my #15 and some nice mentholated soap and AS. I have really forgotten what a fine shave this razor can deliver. The CF soap lathered up easily and the AS put a nice finish on the job. Still clean and smooth 10 hours later! The day went pretty well too! I'm hoping everyone else did as well or better.
