SOTD: Saturday, April 9 Haslinger Coconut CH2 SiLVERTiP Milord Tech Personna Med Prep (1) English Leather AS Day 3 and much improved shave. I'm figuring out the Haslinger; the Med Prep was vastly better than the oddball Polsilver. My face is happier; the irritation is subsiding. I might just learn to like this combination. Have a great day!
April 9/2016 Razor: Gillette Tech Blade: GSB (3) Soap: Italian Barber Brush: VDH Badger Pre Shave Oil: Homemade AS: Dove. Men + Care A 2 pass shave, 1st pass ATG, nice and smooth, just like it supposed to be. On the 2nd pass WTG/XTG, smooth sailing all the way, no problems except my usual areas (no biggie). A little extra lather on my neck for a fine clean up. A good DFS suits me just fine. I`ve started a vitamin E-skin care therapy to repair some rough spots that i`ve nicked a lot (around the mouth area), so i won`t be chasing baby for awhile. I wish BBSes for all. Best wishes. Bill
Saturday! First shave with a new Progress razor. Used a Gillette/ Wilkinson blade. Used setting 3 for a very smooth close shave. Overall great combo. Enjoy your shave and your weekend everyone!
Bill, Dollar General has vitamin e oil with coconut and soybean oil. I use it as a pre shave and it's the best hands down i've ever used. 2 bucks for 4 ounces.
Thank you so much Roby, i will definetly look into it. When i applied the first treatment, i immediately thought that this might make a good pre shave oil. I paid twice that amount for half the size at walmart. Nature Valley. I applied the E-oil right after dinner to let it sink in before bedtime and my face was really "slick" all evening. Had to wipe it off before going to bed. I will try it in the morning, i`m really not all that pleased with my homemade oil anyway. Again, thanks a million. Bill
