    Wednesday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Stirling Sandpiper
    Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
    Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus (16)
    Brush: Wild West Brushworks/Elite Razor Manchurian White-24mmx54mm
    Aftershave: Stirling Sandpiper w/Menthol

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    Stirling Sandpiper today. 20 seconds to load the Wild West Brushworks/Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Platinum-Plus blade still in the Gillette NEW Short Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.

    Wednesday morning:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra day 4
    Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
    Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
    B+M Arctique AS Splash
    Eau Sauvage EdT

    An absolutely brilliant, sweet BBS shave which was so much fun - as I've said many times, this type of setup is only for the Menthol Monkey Club because it's so overwhelmingly cold. The Glacial MITA soap lathers easily and rich just like the regular version it has the same lovely citrusy/tropical scent, but it has (this is no joke) three times more menthol in it so if you ever try it be prepared to freeze. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Arctique both went on frigid and so soothing.

    Oh wait....I misread-I thought you said that in another SHAVE FORUM. I say that, because I saw your avatar in a couple other forums. Can't get a shot past you :).

    Pre: Cold water face wash
    Brush: LeeDa Keyhole with Maggards 24mm Finest
    Cream: Castle Forbes Lime EO
    Razor: ATT Calypso (on loan)
    Blade: Feather Pro Super
    Post: Cold water rinse, Castle Forbes Lime EO ASB

    Wow! The Pro Super blade works really well for me in the Calypso, very efficient and smooth. I prefer the heft of the General but the shave is pretty similar.
    An excellent midweek fillip.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Razor: Gillette Guard
    Blade: Guard SE Cart. (3)
    Lather: Neutrogena Shave Cream
    AS: Mennen `afta`/ Old Spice
    Newspaper Date: November 5, 1943

    An unbelievable shave, 2 pass, WTG/ATG, touch ups and voila ! a BBS+. The Gillette Guard looks like a toy, but shaves like the `Big Boys`. The smoothest shave in recent memory. I have a OneBlade Core coming soon, I will compare them with a lot of different components, will update when finished. God Bless and great shave to all.

    You combined the After with Old Spice?

    You have Sandpiper Soap?! Lucky you. Course I'm not above getting it sometime-the A.S. is a Stoylin favorite of mine.

    Hi Paul. Boy have I been confused this morning, I don`t know how I posted a reply, I was just trying to do a normal post of my morning`s shave, and I got a `post reply`, go figure. The answer to you`re question is, I don`t splash on the Old Spice until after breakfast, after the `afta` is dry, works for me, go with God. Sincerely, Bill
