    Superb shave today - very close and comfortable. The lather was not as billowing, as some, but every bit as effective in setting up my stubble for their fate before the Rockwell. I think the R5 plate is the one I will use from now on with Feathers. Defiance aftershave has a nice dose of menthol - not s face freezer, just a welcome wake me up.

    Thursday's Shave

    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Jayaruh #206
    Gem Damaskeene
    Personna Gem CS
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene Razor using a Personna Gem CS SE 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...

    My dear friends,

    Thank God a million times the surgery went very well but I'm in some pain. The doctor gave me some good medication for it which I have to take whenever it starts flaring up and I have to take it easy for about a week.

    I still managed to get in a very good shave just before!

    Thursday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Goodfella/Shark day 2
    Stirling Gin & Tonic on the Rocks SS
    Lucky Tiger AS Cream
    Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

    This Goodfella really is a "good fellow" because even though it's such a mild DE if you figure out how to use it like I did you can still get a great BBS shave. However in order to do that, you need at least three passes. I did my first one WTG, the second one ATG, and the third one XTG followed by a little touch-up everywhere. It felt so good to lather up with the G&TOTR soap and to enjoy that lovely, refreshing lemon/lime scent as well as that awesome menthol effect. The Lucky Tiger aftershave cream felt so cooling and soothing - not to mention how moisturizing it was. My wonderful wife gave me some coffee and then I'll go lie down a little later if our monster of a German Shepherd would be so kind as to get himself off the bed! lollllllllll(I love him so much!)

    Love you all!
