Old Type clone
Super-Max Platinum (2)
Arko
Satin Tip The Purest
Lime AS and Nivea Sensitive ASB

Good morning friends! Last nights shave with the Old Type clone was fantastic! Much more efficient then my actual Old Type. The Super-Max showed that it is much more comfortable when working with lesser growth and might be a good option for those who shave daily as it is a very smooth blade and it is very inexpensive coming in at under $8 per hundred. Three passes brought home the baby and my homemade lime AS and Nivea ASB left me feeling silky smooth and relaxed and ready for bed. Have a great Wednesday my friends!

 

Thank you gents!

Brush credit goes to @Jayaruh

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Weber ARC
Blade – BIC Chrome Platinum
Brush - 'Papa Chub' (Chubby 3 Manchurian)
Soap – Sir Hare Artisan Drunken Sailor
Post - Witch Hazel, Jojoba oil.

from the moment that I pressed the Sir Hare Artisan soap into the dish, I had high expectations for it... so much so, that I chose 'Papa Chub' to do the honours.. and it did not disappoint. A wonderful shave, great post shave feel, and no irritation... result!!

 

I should give Mountain Man another chance. I read that the Silver Mt. Water Creed(or whatever it's patterened after)has been used by women AND men. I want to keep things "manly" in my "den". Bu two facts cut into my decision to originally bypass Mountain Man. 1)-It isn't called "Mountain Man&Woman", and 2)-I have now been reading that my Rise Super Foam shave cream is good for either sex, whereas the original Rise was meant for men. I love the new Rise anyway,. so I should have more looks at Mountain Man.

Love the scent of the Lemongrass SS and A/S and all the menthol is great. I paired my EJ DE87 head with a Scotch&Stowe stainless steel handle and it's a great combo. This combo is smooth, comfortable, easy to hold and effective. I like it a lot. So I look good, feel good and smell great. Now go enjoy your day folks

Lather: Proraso Green

I'm going to test a number of different blades in the Rocnel, not for any particular reason, just cause. Rocnel Blade Trials have begun, and the ASCO was not bad, but nothing to write home about.
