ST PATRICK'S DAY SOTD 17 March 2017 Pre: A lot of hot water Razor: EJ DE89BL Blade: Shark Super Chrome Brush: Omega 6212 Silvertip Cream: Proraso Green Post: Hot/cold water rinse, alum block, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer After Shave: Proraso Green splash Prop: AnaLee Leprechaun Mouse I ended the week the way I started, with a menthol kick. Proraso was the only thing in my den that was green, so the 6212 whipped up the cream into another great lather, and the DE89BL/Shark combo came through again. Patted some Green splash on and away to work. To my fellow Denizens of Irish decent have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
TGIF Shave...... Tabac stick lathered w/Duke 2 Best '79 Super Adjustable paired w/a Pol-Silver SI blade Witch hazel, nivea ASB finishing w/a splash of Floid 2-passes for an outstanding shave!
Day 22 of 30 days of straights I managed a BBS this morning with no cuts and 2 weepers. I am getting better at not slicing my own neck, but I am still struggling to avoid the weepers. Straight razors have a much steeper learning curve, IMHO, than do DEs.

17 March 2017 Happy St. Patrick's Day All! Lots of tobacco goodness this morning. Love the scent of the RR Puros. The soap lathers up easily. Great cushion & glide. The Shark blade is doing well. I normally change out blades after Saturday's shave and get 7 quality shave out of the blades in my rotation (Astra SP, Personna Red, Rapira LUX, Voskhod). The Shark has to give me 4 more good, tug free shaves if it wants entry into my blade lair. Soap: RazoRock Puros Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic Razor: RazoRock German 37 Slant Blade: Shark (3) After Shave: RazoRock Puros

I have the Puros soap but haven't used it yet. Looking forward to trying it. Maybe I'll pick up the splash as well if the soap works well for me. I love tobacco scents.
