January 1, 2009 L'occataine pre-shave oil under a hot towel Gillette Aristocrat, no date code or notch Gillette 'Swede', day 2 C&E Super Badger brush Tryphon Sandalwood shave cream Thayer's witch hazel with aloe shower C&E Sandalwood aftershave balm What a wonderful shave to start the new year! I got up early, I have to work today, and spent an entire half hour on my shave. I used L'occataine pre shave oil and a hot towel to prep the first pass, and left it on while I set up the coffee pot, mixed up a great lather from the Tryphon cream, and started mowing my whiskers. I was near bbs after the second pass, but I was on a roll, so I went for a third pass,ATG. Smooth and slick! Happy New Year, everyone! Larry
New Year's Day: 1947 Gillette Super Speed / Bolzano blade d2 / Cella Crema da Barba soap / Generic Pure Badger Brush / Florida Water Cologne / Wesley & Scott Lime After Shave Balm What a wonderful shave to start the year with. The '47 Super Speed/Balzano blade combo is fantastic, smooth, close and comfortable. Of course the Cella soap helps considerably. Now to get ready for all day football
I love the smell of Florida water,, but it burns me bad if I put it on right after a shave.. I usually use it later in the day as a cologne if I am going out or somethine... Great looking setup for today. Fuzzy

New Years Day Trac11 all metal razor & Personna cartridge Pirates Cove Lime Soap Omega small boar brush Thayers Rose Witch Hazel Tabac After Shave Just a great shave combination. Trac 11 was the first cartridge razor with a fixed head.
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep: Shavemac 22mm silvertip Fatboy/ Iridium TSD 'Lime' SS LT AS Storer 'Monk' EdP ( I am liking this stuff, and glad I bought it blind). Nice getting JoAnna's soap out of the 'weapons' locker.......heh. Yeah, it had been a little too long since I used that, and the lather helped in making for a very nice shave. Hehe, I even remembered about her product, and got the ratio right the first time. The fatboy with a fresh Iridium did it's usual magic, and BBS is what happened. Ok, I'm done, Martin

Thursday 1/1 . . . [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel [*]Brush: Knotty Badger refurbished Ever Ready 300 Silvertip [*]Cream: T&H 1805 [*]Razor: '36 Gillette NEW with Standard Bar Handle [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 10) [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & C&E Sandalwood ASB [*]EDT: C&E Sandalwood EDT [*]Result: Very nice 3 pass shave. No BBS today but then I was not going for it as I shaved in mid afternoon rather than morning. Almost did not shave but as I thought about it I realized just how much I enjoy shaving these days. Had to shower anyway so why not prep for a shave and then shave. Glad I did.
