Man, do I ever love this Top Ten Sensitive cream from Bulgaria. The scent is so nice, it lathers like a maniac, and it has a really nice menthol sensation as well as lots of soothing. The Fougere Santal aftershave from Reef Point is also pretty cooling and its scent is da BOMBBB!!!

I do like those Schick Sticks. Do you keep it next to your football phone?

 

It's Adjustable Arko April! I figured a Four speed manual injector fit the theme. It's a mild razor suitable for clean up after my still learning shavette shave. Louder than the football phone - no land line here since I've been carrying a cell.

No idea how old it is. Here's a photo with the original box it came in.

 

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten Plus (3)
Brush: Elite Razor Tres Amigos Desert Ironwood Beehive w/Envy White
Soap: Route High Mountain Mist
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Capri

Pretty good shave tonight. Did my traditional 3 passes with a light touch up. The Route 66 soap is performing as excepted and the Tres Amigo brush is a joy to use.

 

First shave of the week. This week I'm going back and trying some of the soaps that didn't quite do it for me the first time. Giving them another chance. I love Stirling Soaps but when I got Sharp Dressed Man a couple months ago, I really didn't care for the scent. After two months of letting it sit on the shelf - I still don't really care for it but not as much as before. Maybe it will grow on me. As with all Stirling soaps, the lather was great and very slick. Some of the usual suspects for the rest of the set up: Merkur 34c with a new Rapira Platinum Lux blade, Captain's Choice bowl, SOC boar, Dove aftershave balm and a splash of Fine Platinum. Very close smooth shave.

SHAVE OF THE DAY

Prep: Razorock Mister Joe
Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech
Blade: Gillette Black (1/2 blade, 4th shave)
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
Soap: Perfectly Natural Citrus Mint
Post: Osage Rub, BW Thomas Tew A/S


This new phone is not letting me upload a photo, saying it is too large, so no pic today. This Soapv packs a nice menthol punch, performance is nice but it does require some heavy loading. Despite its setbacks, I do like this fairly unknown product. Clean ingredient list and a nice citrus menthol scent. Accidently opened up a cut from the other day, but had a face freezing menthol Monday. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Tuesday's "Anything But Gillette" DE Shave


Dove Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh TSD Challenge Boar
Edwin Jagger Faux Ebony
Asco Super Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh TSD Challenge Boar brush. I did two passes the Edwin Jagger Faux Ebony razor and Asco Super Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
