SOS: May 2018

Pacific TTO razor/ZaZa blade
Schick M1 Adjustable/Personna blade
Palmolive Mentholated SC
Vie-Long Silver Tip brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Clubman A/S

Tried the ZaZa in the Pacific TTO - not a good combo for me. The Pacific TTO is aggressive and showed it with this blade. Quickly grabbed the Schick to finish and that went just fine. The Vie-Long did a great job and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Heartwood: Fresh Bergamot and Spices combine with Blue Spruce, Sweet Bourbon Whiskey, Pipe Tobacco, Leather, Mimosa Flower, Guaiac Wood, Oakmoss and Myrrh.

Hot and humid all day, but todays combo was magnificent! A 2.5 pass shave that was refreshing, calming and yet invigorating. Seville is unique and distinctive, just nothing else quite like it. Now, a 3 finger pour of Jamison and it’s a wrap. Have a great evening and shaves Gents....

MAYhem 2018!!!!!

May 29

Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Style
Blade - (2)
Soap - Soap Commander Courage
Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
Post - Alum

Staying aggressive old school tonight as I went back to the 1918 Gillette with Sharp Star. Soap Commander and the Stirling brush for the most ridiculously easy lather I've ever whipped up. Seriously. Effortless. Slick. Cushy. Perfection.

Two full passes and some touch up and it's a perfect finish. Alum is quiet, no blood, just another very nice and above average shave. Just what I needed as I try to make one more day to my weekend. I'm tired, cranky, but at least the shaves are working. Lots of catching up to do on here but I'll get to that. And....with only two days to go.....it's time to start figuring out the basic/starter/cheap/effective gear I want to use in June!
