And we're off! Still catching up a bit on the first 6 pages so far but I'll get there. Busy day today with a Dr. appointment this morning that led to lunch, getting some necessary household stuff, going swimming, cooking and eating ribs. Whew! How do you top off a day like that? With two shaves of course. Head and face.
The head shave was perfect as usual. Merkur 23c for the razor. Astra blade. VDH Boar brush and Arko for the "Basics". Usualy finish on that one. Face shave featured the Van Der Hagen TTO razor. This is the first DE razor I ever used. I don't have any more of the VDH blades so I went with the generic Personnas from Walgreens. The brush was a boar, and the soap was VDH Scented Luxury. I've never used this soap before but I have used several pucks of the Deluxe version and really liked it. This soap has a scent that reminds me a bit of Ozark Mountain from Stirling. The quality, while good for a cheap soap, of course did not match Stirling but I knew it wouldn't. Seriously, though, the lather was slick, and with a few days work with it I'll have it as good or better as most soaps. Love it when the cheap stuff works like that.
I have a puck of Deluxe arriving tomorrow along with a new brush and bowl. And, I got three samples from Soap Commander today so I'll "upgrade" from basic soap to that a few times this month. Finish tonight was a very nice DFS and I'm a happy camper!
