    Good job on finishing the tub of TOBS. I guess you caught the gremlin that was refiling it in the night.

    Schick M1 Adjustable razor
    Personna 74 blade (day 1)
    Plisson/L'Occitane brush
    CO Bigelow SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Skin Bracer A/S w/added menthol

    Day 1 with the legendary Personna 74 and a very nice shave indeed. So smooth, comfortable and SHARP! Didn't realize how sharp till I got myself due to carelessness on my part. I'm going to use this razor/blade combo till it just doesn't work anymore and see how many good shaves I can get. Rumor has it that these blades are extremely long lasting and I intend to find out. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    MENTHOL MONDAY
    'Wostenholm Week' for me continues with a restored George Wostenholm & Son's IXL 5/8 frame back with new translucent blonde horn scales. I touched up a week's worth of Wosty razors on a blue Escher water hone and will be testing one each day. This morning's FB shave was quite smooth, silent and efficient. Mitchell's Wool Fat slick lather, menthol-enhanced with TSD's M-Bomb, and Stirling 'Sharp-Dressed Man' aftershave.

    A very good shave this morning. First time using the Red Tip and it was quite enjoyable! The Sputnik performed well for me again today and in two passes I was near BBS. I did a little touch up and got even closer but there is still one pesky spot on my neck that I must have had a difficult time maintaining the angle on because it is not quite as smooth as everywhere else. So I guess ill call it a DFS+. The La Toja (grated and pressed into my bowl) made an abundance of cushiony slick lather in my Plissoft and aided in providing me with an irritation free shave. Have a great day everyone!

    Hello TSD :) Not enough time for a straight razor shave this morning, so I brought the R41 back into use:

    1104_ji.jpg

    - Jeeves of Hudson Street "Turkish Bath"
    - Whipped Dog Synthetic
    - Mühle R41/iKon Bulldog Handle
    - Astra Superior Platinum
    - Tüff sensitiv Rasierwasser

    First time I used the ASP in the R41 head. Absolutely fantastic combination :happy088: Super smooth, super effficient. Two passes (WTG and ATG) without any tugging or even the slightest bit of discomfort. No touchups necessary - BBS result. This was pretty close to my best shaves with the Futur ... I honestly did not expect that, since all my previous shaves with the R41 had been a little rough ATG. So obviously when it comes to blades this razor is pretty picky.

    Have a great day everyone :)

    In honor of Menthol Monday, I added 5-6 drops of M-Bomb to my bowl of Lumberjack lather. Talk about a nice refreshing cool, without taking away from the scent.

    3 passes with the Friodur, and I'm smooth as can be.

    Here is an extra shot for my fellow lather junkies...
