    AoS Peppermint~~Simpson Persian Jar 2~~RR GC .84/Sharp Star (2)~~Lutens Muscs Koublaï Khän
    Menthol Monday. Today's high temperature 92˚ F
    The cooling properties of the AoS cream are quite refreshing and not pain-inducing.
    This cream is super-easy to lather and when combined with a soft badger brush,
    is a favorite part of the daily shave.

    Day 2 using the RazoRock Game Changer OC .84, loaded with the Sharp Star.
    The GC is a beefy tool. Hefty like my Floating Head and R41.
    When using a razor with a heavy handle, I recommend finding a finger position that balances
    both the head and the rear of the razor. Use a very light touch.
    Allow gravity and momentum to do the "heavy lifting".
    Finished with a sample I have had for a while, but until today, never tried:

    SE Shave # 208

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade: GEM Stainless (10)
    Brush: Ever Ready 500
    Lather: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
    Aftershave: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original
    Nivea Cool Balm

    Another wet and soggy day here on LI. Henri is leaving his wet mark. I will take this over the wind option.

    This morning’s shave, with the MMOC and the PAA Bay Rum, was just the ticket to brighten up my morning. Of course I did an X3Bar Push workout prior to my shower and shave.

    Super close shave with the GSB considering it was the blades 10th usage. I usually bin the GEM blades after the 10th shave but I am tempted to try another one in two weeks. Why two weeks? Next Monday will feature the MMBT.

    I hope you have a great day gentlemen.
  20. Thank Joe. Hope you managed to stay dry this morning if you headed to the gym.
