Gem MM Clog Pruf razor/Gem Stainless blade
Pal Adjustable razor/Personna blade
Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
Stirling Margaritas in the Artic SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Jason's Aloe Gel
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla A/S

This did not go well and it was my fault. I know the Clog Pruf can be aggressive and did not approach it carefully enough. There was blood. Changed to the Pal and all ended up OK. On a positive note, the Maison Lambert Silver Tip is a wonderfully soft effective and really LARGE & HEAVY brush. Will use it this week but think I like it a lot all ready. Now go enjoy your day folks

Semogue Excelsior Boar Brush
Love My Skin Spearmint Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave

First time using this Semogue Excelsior brush, and what a brush it is. It lathers real nice, especially with this glycerin based soap. Thanks to @Jrdelgado for sending it. Two passes with some touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

 

Love Stetson Black AS Balm and Cologne. My favorite when going out someplace.

 

AUGUST 11, 12, & 13 NIGHT SHAVES with a SCHICK TYPLE and a VINTAGE Twin blade on 1st 3 shaves - amazing blade!

Nice shot, Doug! Never seen Stirling Cool before. I assume it's older due to the label.

 

Nice shot Doug!

Thanks Perry. I believe the Sterling Cool is an older product.
