Have a great day!​

 

Schick J1 razor
Personna blade
Shave Revolution synthetic brush
Long Rifle "Leatherstocking" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne

Love the scent of the Long Rifle SS, it's just the bomb. But, again, the lather was only adequate at best. I'll try it one more time this week and see what happens. As much as I love the fragrance, life is to short for adequate. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Tuesday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougere
Razor: Gillette “Black Beauty” Super Adjustable
Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus (Shave #10)
Brush: Ever-Ready 50R/TGN Premium Silvertip-20mmx55mm
Aftershave: Anucci EdT

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

MdC Fougere today. 20 seconds to load the Ever-Ready/TGN Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Anucci EdT.

The Stealth Slant clone from Manly Stuff in Ireland shaves just as reviews of the Stealth suggest, almost disconcerting in its mildness, but very efficient. No trouble with the head shave's tricky stuff that foiled the Tech yesterday. I used an alternative handle that Sean at MS sent, a little shorter and lighter than stock but at 122g quite heavy enough thank you. Watch for sales but even at the regular price of €29 it's a sweet razor. Seen prices on Stealth Slants lately?

Razor: Gillette SS
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Lather: Gillette Foamy (can)
AS: Brut Splash On

Samo, samo. Except I actually got a solid DFS. The pairing of an SS with a Sword is genius on my part(actually by accident) but I`m going to beat my breast, if only to make myself feel good, which I need. The combination IS really smooth. WTG/ATG and a light clean-up. Heres to a fantastic for all. God Bless and good luck to all.

God bless you too, Bill.

SOTD: Vintage 6/8" razor from Wm. Greaves & Sons "Sheaf Works." Soap Commander 'Renewal' floral fougére soap, Omega#627 silvertip, and Fine 'Lavender Pour Homme' aftershave. Superb shave! Have a great Tuesday, gents!

 

Thank you!

 

Wednesday morning:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed+Astra day 3
Hamol SC (an excellent cream from Syria)
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Red Delicious AS Splash Sample (unusual, but nice scent)

This Hamol cream lathers crazy-rich, smells very nice, and gives a decent cooling effect with good moisturizing and protection. The Red Delicious aftershave seems strongly-scented but in a nice way. Originally I planned to use the Egyptian version of Ingram but that one can wait another few days.

 

Thanks Jim!

 

For Wednesday's Shave:

prep-Dove Men+Care Bodywash(Cooling Agent)
shave-Stirling Wintergreen Soap(brrrrr)
brush-WSP Pure Badger
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE****
A.S.-Stirling Sample(Mtn. Man)

****-I suppose I should add that when I use a soap, it's one DisposeABLE for 2 passes, and out.

 

Bull Dog Pre shave face wash
Omega pro49
TOBS Sandalwood
Gillette Tech
Astra SP
Alum and,
Proraso post shave balm

Decent shave tonight. Less irritation than the last and just about as smooth. No nicks or weepers. Pretty good for a newbie haha
