Schick B2 and some menthol chill...

You have a lot of shaves in with that beauty Ben. How are you liking it?

 

We need a picture of that E1 man!

 

I like it a lot Brian. I can maneuver it easier than a traditional straight and it just feels good in my hand. I keep thinking "I should try one of my other straights" but when it comes down to it I keep grabbing the Chimera

 

Thanks. I might have a trip to Portland on the near horizon and just might follow your lead. A tour and a new razor

 

My goodness, the weather turned really hot so I have to ask forgiveness from the Electric Sheep for changing to a mentholated soap. I known it's bahhhhhh, bahhhhh, bad!

Friday:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed Rapira day 5
Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
Stirling Lemon Chill WH
YSL Pour Homme EdT

I need that menthol kick for tomorrow and I promise the Sheep I'll use him on Saturday!

First shave with this soap from a friend Brazilian soap artisan that created the Imperial Grooming line of shaving products. The name already hints of what to expect... Permafrost! A barrage of coolness to appease the heat wave of the Summer. The menthol is the star of the show that persists through the shave. It lathers almost spontaneously and creates a white cushion of freshness and slickness over the face. The balm is even stronger. The first hit of menthol makes for some teary eyes, but that quickly passes and what stays is a cooling and soothing effect surrounding our face for 30 minutes plus.

With each shave the Ever-Ready 1912 is steadily and surely climbing to the top of my favourite razors list... Fantastic sensations from it and the GEM S/S blade in its 3rd use.

Viel Spaß in Mannheim mein lieber Mann!

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great evening buddy.

 

Thank you. Actually tonight I had the opportunity to walk the streets of Heidelberg, tour & eat dinner in the castle after a Champagne reception. Just beautiful. It is my first time in Germany so it is all new to me. Lovely country. Back in Mannheim tonight with one last presentation tomorrow and then I have some time to myself in Frankfurt.

 

Tonight's shave was with an old Wedge razor. I had a very nice 2 pass shave. The results were a DFS, because I got a weeper under my nose, and was in a hurry. My fault. Very nice and silent razor.
