Schick Injector G & Schick Twin Blade
RR 28mm Beehive
Rock Rose Apothecary Cypress Lime
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Nivea 2in1
Wholly Kaw Jamestown Gentleman A/S splash

First time out with the Schick G injector. Aaaahhhh, what a marvelous shave indeed! Nimble, light and comfortable in the hands. Minor irritation, but due to user error as I used a little more pressure than what was needed. No fault of the razor at all and the Schick Twin blade is just amazing. One of the smoothest blades of any blade format I have ever experienced. Just devine to be honest. Done in 2 with some minor buffing, some alum and splashes, irritation gone in 15-20 minutes. Seriously impressed with this little razor. Have a great evening and shaves Gents... ​

Nice kit there Doug. I've always been intrigued by the Myrsol Balsamica A/S splash. How is the scent and performance?

 

Thanks very much Gus. You better ask Clint about the Aqua Balsamica he has better olfactory senses than I.

Have a great evening!

 

Gus I get a herbal quality to the scent with Rosemary as the primary note with lavender in the background. While the scent is strong is dissipates much like citrus scents. I hope this helps.

Excellent! I'm looking for something with an herbal scent to it. Right up my alley....... Thanks my friend.

 

Is that a stacked leather handle on your razor? Very nice!

 

Friday's OC Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #227
Gillette Single Ring
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Thayer's Peach WH
Pinaud Vanilla

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #227 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Single Ring razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
