Good morning guys. Outstanding shave this morning with the N1, so smooth and comfortable, I love this razor! Route 66 whipped up into a beautiful protective, slick lather. Three passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends.

This morning I used the Fendrihan CC DE. I really like this razor...I find the auditory feedback on this one is quite good. The GSB seems to an ideal pairing. When I use this razor I remember why I like DE shaving. It is perfectly weighted and balanced in my hand. And yet, the Schick Type G provides such a nice shave as well. I am going to continue alternating DE/SE for now...I will enjoy the best of both worlds!

This glacialized MITA soap does beautiful things to the skin - it's got a boatload of menthol, same great scent as the regular MITA version, lathers just as easily, and the skincare cannot be beaten. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream is another keeper for me and it felt great to use the Penguin after having forgotten that I even had it. BBS in two easy passes!

 

Tuesday

Well, more like a cool water shave. The Florida water doesn't get very cold out of the tap. May have to try some ice.

Another travel shave. Brought the Rapira Chrome SS and the Store Bought Israel blades with me. And brought the Rocnel SE and my PreWar Tech along with me as well. This shave was excellent. BBS everywhere including the neck with no irritation.
I think these store bought blades gave the best shave I've had with the Rocnel. Super BBS and no irritation whatsoever.
(Shave occurred late last night by the way)
Have a great day everyone!

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Chinese Schick (5)
Razor: Schick G1 Injector
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Lather: VDH Luxury
Post: Witch hazel splash, Fred's Old Spice knock-off, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Smooth, comfortable shave with the G1 injector. The VDH whipped up into beautiful, protective, cushioning lather. I struggled with the lathers earlier this month but have found a ticket with the big boar brush and lots and lots of added water. This soap is really good and very inexpensive!

As you all know if you've been reading this month the G1 Injector is rising higher and higher in my estimation. It may become my daily workday razor. I get a smooth shave with fewer passes than a DE. It's a great little razor and I've tremendously enjoyed improving on the technique with it over this month.

Hope you all have a good Tuesday!
