    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Single Ring and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    SOTD 10.4.2017

    Pre-shave: Warm towel & pre-shave oil
    Shave Cream: Every Man Jack Sensitive Fragrance Free Shave Cream (ended up adding some Cremo Original Shave Cream)
    Brush: Omega Synthetic Hi-Brush
    Razor: vintage Probak 3 piece OC
    Blade: Wilkinson-Sword (3)
    Post-shave: Dickinson WH, Every Man Jack Signature Mint Post-Shave lotion, Jovan Musk AS / Cologne

    I chose to use the Every Man Jack Shave Cream since I had not used it for a long time. Normally, I just apply it by hand and it works well. I decided to experiment and try to bowl lather it with a brush, but I probably should have just applied it to my face by hand. Not wanting to give up so easily, I added some Cremo Original and managed some lather build up, which I applied to my face with the brush. I liked the mixture in that it felt very nice on the skin and it was very slick. I also like the citrusy scent the Cremo Original has. Neverthess, I could've just saved some time and applied either cream by hand and gotten the same result.

    However, the main goal for today's shave was to try out, for the first time, the Probak 3 piece OC razor I picked up at an antique store in August. I'm not sure why it took so long to get to this point. This razor is in excellent shape. I started out slowly, but became so confident with it quickly. This is an amazing razor! I got a very close, comfortable shave throughout, even for my trouble spots on the neck.

    Have a great day, gents and ladies!

    SOTD 10.5.2017

    Pre-shave: Hot shower
    Soap: Williams
    Brush: VDH Boar
    Razor: vintage Probak 3 piece OC
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword (4)
    Post-shave: Dickinson WH, Aqua Velva AS Balm, Walgreens Cooling AS

    I spent the day lake fishing so I didn't get showered and shaved until late today. I had a pleasant day at the lake but none of the fish wanted to play today... no bites, nibbles or jumping out of the water. I don't usually get bored fishing, even when the fish aren't biting but this time I took the lunch hour off and went to a small town nearby to check out a couple of antique stores. That "fishing" trip paid off in that I acquired a Gillette Adjustable J2 (1964) in great shape. So, at least I felt the day was fruitful.

    I did a face and head shave this evening. The Williams lathered up very well, and I got a close, comfortable face shave. I was working up the lather to do a head shave, but always wanting to try something new, I grabbed my bottle of Head Slick Shave Cream and added some of that to my Williams lather. Wow! That really added some creamy texture to the lather and the lather remained consistent (no dissipating) and slick throughout the head shave. I'll have to do that again!

    Overall, the shaving was the best part of the day.... except for the Gillette Adjustable I found. I hope everyone is having a great week!
