SoS: March 6, 2017 - March 12, 2017

Wednesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 3
Lea Classic S/C
Gold Bond Moisturizer
F&C Black Powder A/S Splash

What a fantastic cream this Lea Classic is - it smells wonderful, it's a pleasure to lather up with, and it has a very good cooling sensation with such a soothing post-shave sensation. It's a shame that the Black Powder aftershave is no longer available - ah well, c'est la vie!

The Razorock Classic Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #144 finest badger brush. I did two passes the Gem Push-Button and CVS SE blade, I ended up with 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 AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thanks Clint. Not my farm. I belongs to a friend of mine. When he needs an extra hand he calls me.

 

What an awesome photo!

 

What does he call you?

 

Tonight's shave was with a freshly acquired, slightly restored, and hone razor. It's the maiden shave. I have a wonderfully smooth 1 Pass Shave, with this blade. when I rubbed my face, there was no need to go further. It was a DFS, with BBS in almost all areas. No touch-ups needed.
I highly recommend one of these razors, if you have the opportunity to get one.

Razor- Mayer & Grosh, Barbers Hollow Ground. Toledo Ohio.
Brush- Vintage German "Oceans"
Soap- ARKO/Avon Spicy Scented
Aftershave- Yardley Gold

 

TOBACCO TUESDAY


Prep: RazoRock Mister Joe
Razor: Schick L Injector
Blade: Ted Pella (1st shave)
Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
Soap: PAA Cavendish
Post: Lucky Tiger, PAA Cavendish A/S, HEV Cognac & Cuban Cigars balm


Have been recently experimenting with different razors, first time with this one. The handle is longer than my other injector so there was a bit of a learning curve. Had some redness but a clean shave anyways. Decided to throw on some balm as well to repair any damage that may have taken place. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

That 7 oz. tub of shave soap should last you a few years, I'd say.

 

3/7/17
SOTN
1. Hot shower
2. PAA cad pre shave soap
3. colgate lime shaving cream, can, discontinued.
4. schick injector type G 8 (brand new , still had blank blade)
5. schick injector platinum plus blade, 1st use.. wow.. first time using this vintage blade, sharper than a feather.
6..alum / thayers medicated / fine green.a.s.

 

Like you, I'm using a discontinued shaving cream-the Rise Super Foam(the 13 oz. white can). . They got rid of it about 6 months ago, and I still have 4 cans left from my order with them. Grandfathering is fun!!!

 

Just doing some rough math, If I used in a rotation of a couple of dozen soaps, I should finish it up in a little less than eight years.
