    Dove Men Face Wash
    TSD Iced Lime
    Jayaruh #100 first shave
    Bunny V-3
    Personna Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH
    Pinaud Vegetal

    It is SEptember, y'all, and I started it off with The Bunny V-3. My Bunny memory kicked in for a great shave. The TSD Iced Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #100 two-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V-3 razor with a Personna Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Awesome Adjustable Arko August!!!!

    August 31
    Grand Blade Trial

    Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum, The Veg

    Final day on the Royal blade and the Slim was wide open and ready to go. This blade gave a really nice shave on Monday, a fantastic one Tuesday....and today is its last day to impress. And boy did it.

    The lather was a bit thin today. I always laugh a bit when I don't have Arko perfect. How easy is it to lather Arko?! And how dumb do you have to be to mess it up? Well, in my case I left the brush a bit too wet and ended up flinging it all over the place. Lather thinned out a bit but it still provided a nice slick base. My first thought on day one of this blade was that it had to be sharp, given the performance at a 2. The second day provided an even better result with no irritation giving it more a characteristic of a not so sharp blade. Today, silky smooth still, no drag, no cuts, nicks, weepers. Nothing. Just a fantastic three pass shave to a very near BBS finish. Acting like a less sharp blade but.....also a sharp blade. So what is it? Who cares....it was one of the best three days I've had without a Russian in the razor. Move the Personna plant somewhere else and I'd buy in bulk. Great performance on this blade.

    Tomorrow I'll be moving to the Personna Red to see if the Royal feels the same. Question is - are all of these Israeli's just the same blade rebranded for different markets or are their differences? Since the Red is more or less the legendary blade, it's up next for a comparison point to the Royal and the others that follow.

    TUESDAY SHAVE
    20160830_211126.jpg


    Prep: Occams crushed lime
    Razor: Icon X3/ Maggard
    Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (1st shave)
    Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
    Soap: Phoenix & Beau- Citra Royale
    Post: Osage Rub/ T&H West Indian Limes Balm sample



    Awesome lime theme shave, got a perfect lather from the P&B and the lime scent really came out in the lather. Ended up with a BBS shave with no drama.


    WEDNESDAY SHAVE
    20160831_232221.jpg


    Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (2nd shave)
    Brush: AOS Badger
    Soap: Dapper Dragon- Frankincense & myrrh
    Aftershave: Soap Smooth- Frankincense & myrrh
    Balm: Das Boom lotion



    Second shave with this badger brush, still prefer synthetics, but it did work out well. Have a few stubble patches but not a terrible shave by any means. Really like the SS aftershave, scent seems to last quite a while but not too potent. Feels moisturizing which is another plus. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    How is the scent of this Pinaud? Is it like a rosemary herbal?

    Think Clubman, with the vegetal part (no lilac).

    Sounds interesting. I like Clubman but am leary of the Veg, but without the lilac it sounds nice.
