I've been an alum block user for last couple years, but Tom's Witch hazel, Vodka (I used Everclear), Vitamin E, and scent oil from KleanSpa might change my mind.

SOTD 3.1.2018
Head & Face Shaves (5 days growth)
Pre-shave: hot shower
Brush: Barburys synthetic
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Razor (face only): CJB Pain Stick
Blade: Feather Professional (1)
Razor (head only): Schick G1
Blade: Schick (2)
Post-shave: Dickinson's Original WH, Nivea Men Sensitive PS Balm, Pinaud Clubman AS

I'll spent the month of March working on taming the CJB razor. My first use today went well.... I nearly finished an extraordinary face shave without drawing any blood. But I ended with a nick on my neck which took a couple of applications of the styptic pencil before the bleeding stopped.

 

Been using it on the days I don't use a straight. It is hysterically smooth with a ted pella.

 

Fri 2nd Marc.

Vulfix 404 mixed
Vitos Super Red
Schick Type F
Schick S/S [ 3- Japan]
La Toja A/S Lotion

Used the Vitos which seems to work well with every combination, today was no exception . An extremely pleasant Shave, resulting in an ultra close finish, The F is getting close all round even along the Jawline. Just wonder how the blade will last, I only have a few of these Japanese Single blades so will have to try a Chick next. Or maybe a Proline which did not work out too good, I suspect I spoiled the Edge.

 

Friday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #105
Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #105 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor using a Henckels Wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I probably didn't need to shave even 36hrs after my last shave but then I wouldn't have had anything to post here so I grabbed the Superior and put the bigger Jayaruh handle back on it. Another fine shave was had.

 

Sat 3rd March.

Omega 11137 boar
Lea Classic soap
Mongoose B3
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

An interesting Shave today after 3 Days on a Schick Type F Injector, which had delivered excellent Shaves. The Mongoose with its larger head is a more aggressive Razor, so it was no surprise that the Shave Time was much quicker. In terms of quality of all round finish there is not a huge difference. The main difference between the Razors is that the Type F is so forgiving , whilst the Mongoose needs care/ concentration during the Shave otherwise it may well bite.

I1 injector for a terrific shave. Quite enjoyable. Have a great weekend!

 

I've got the whole Barbershop Collection that matches your shaving mug. It includes a wooden shelf, shaving mug, brush/razor holder, combination boar/badger brush, and a soap dish. I have them all packed away in storage but I may have a picture that I could post somewhere.

MMOC/Gem ptfe (1)
Semogue 1305
B&M vetyver santal
Victoria and Margaret AS toner
Stirling unscented balm

My wife found this cased MMOC last weekend at an antique store, nice 2 pass DFS for its maiden voyage. I read that this marbled green case is not as common as the normal brown one.

Nice case..i have that one..white..maroon and black..and brown I think.

 

Used a early model E2 today. I found out it is no where near as aggressive feeling as another one I have. Veddy nice shave though. Marvys soap and brush worked great too.

 

Sun 4th March

Omega 11126 boar
Speick Active soap
ES Claymore V1 & Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 12 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

Since changing the handle on the Claymore I am getting more assured Shaves. Not quite sure why but the Razor/Blade combo seems to be getting better after each use. With a superb lather from the Schick I had a really relaxed Sunday morning Shave, the finish quality is as good as those I get with my ATT or Mongoose, is especially good when working on the neck.
