Tabacstag!
I tried the slant with a Personna Lab Blue blade today and got the same familiar smooth and easy result. I did get two small weepers that only appeared when I applied aftershave, and closed right away. I noticed a bit of tenderness on my neck from yesterday, so I took it very easy there. B-M Reserve Cool made it feel better almost instantly.

The Schick N1 loaded with a twin blade is a perfect razor for a smooth, efficient shave. This KMF shave cream has to be some of the best performing shave cream on earth. Three easy, refreshing passes for a dolphin smooth shave. Have a great day guys.

It's unfortunate that I had to toss out the Wild Stone cream because somehow the tube got cut. Anyway, the Edwin Jagger Menthol cream lathered very well for me and gave me a pleasant, albeit mild cooling sensation with pretty good skincare. The Alt Innsbruck went on the way I like it - real cold. Except for a very small weeper which healed fast this shave was certainly nothing to complain about. It turned out BBS with my Junjie/Astra combination.

 

ahhh...looks quite good.

WSP Mahogany today. 20 seconds to load JB/WD Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Wilkinson Light Brigade still in the NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Anucci Sport EdT.

That Annucci must be tough to pour out, unless it has a tiny hole.

 

That's the Lanolin Barbasol, right?

 

I believe our Stirling Barbershop aftershaves are at about the same level.

 

Today's shave
Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash
Rubberset 400/ whippeddog high mountain white
Truefitt&Hill 1805
Gilette Bostonian ser#26A
Persona lab white wrapper (1)
Polo Club soothing a/s balm
Today's shave was top notch. The 400 made tremendous lather from 1805. The mysterious Gillette made three passes leaving me completely smooth and comfy. Finished with polo club, close match with 1805.
See the OCtober to talk about the mysteries of this razor.
Hope y'all did as well, or better. Oh and hello, sorry bout the flections. Just plain shiny stuff.

 

It's hard to tell from that picture. I haven't used much of a it at all. It looks like it even with the label there but it's actually above the where the picture is. It seems like I haven't used any at all, but I certainly have!

 

Those release holes are quite small.

1st time with the Musgo Real SC. Very nice lather with a subtle but pleasing scent. I like it quite a bit. Everything made nice with each other and a fine shave was had. Now off to my grand daughter's PJ party at school. Now go enjoy your day folks
