Thursday...

Razor: '60 Fatboy @5
Blade: '60 Super Blue from NOS day 3
Soap: Williams
A/S: Old Spice

Those Platinum-Plus blades have spoiled me for sure. The Super Blue is still a good blade, but it can't match the Platinums. Longevity isn't one of it's strong suits (even the ads make that point), so I'm retiring this one.

 

Fatboy w/ 7 oclock yellow
Cheap omega boar brush
QED cedarwood/pine SS
Pinaud Clubman w/ TGR ASB

Cranked the Fatboy up to 5 by accident and it was on its last shave but still nice shave. I think 4 is my favorite setting now.

 

Thursday

Muhle R89 / Gillette 7o'clock (yellow)
Omega Boar Brush
Institut Karite SS
TSD Sandalwood AS w/allantoin
TSD Sandalwood ASM

 

How do you like that combo ??
Ive had 2 shaves with it and ................jurys still out for me.
Tried a Derby and then the yeller 7, but still think theres a better blade for the Muhle.

Thayer's Alcohol Free Original
Ogallala Special Reserve splash

Result: I attempted an XTG 2nd pass with the straight today. Mistake. Shave went well, until the AS splash - FIRE!!! A burn like like I had taken a blow torch to my face! But, it healed up and now I'm fine...

 

That Matt might have been the culprit

 

I've never had a burn like that before from that or any other Ogallala splash....I think it was the attempted XTG pass with the straight....I put way too much pressure....

 

I see. The Ogallala smelled very nice but sent my face into the gates of hell for a quick second when I applied it. I think the clove oil does the burning on me. Normally which a good shave.....even the high alcohol splashes have close to 0 burn. You will master it that straight though! People say there is an extended learning curve I just figured I'd wait till I had medical coverage before I attempt the straight again:happy102

 

Yeah, you might want to do that. I figure if I keep with the high alcohol splashes, I'll learn proper technique with the straight even faster! :happy102

 

I haven't used any of my OBR splashes lately. Perhaps I should dig those ought for tomorrow.
