    Colonia. Wow!! Lavender, rosemary, bergamot, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, amber and light musk. Easy to lather, slick and protective. Just awesome. The Milord is a fine razor, very smooth and efficient.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Don't know how you can do it. I had more than enough cold water shaves when I was in the Army!

    I think the heat and humidity here in Fla are a huge factor Guy!
