Morning everyone. This week is: Merkur 500 Progress Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor Chrome Derby Double Edged Razor Blades Shavemac 23mm Custom Nickel Blue Silvertip Badger Fan Shaped Shave Brush Institut Karite 25% Shea Butter Shave Soap Going to try and go through the boxes this week and see what goodies I can dig up. Since everything is home now, I need to set up a current rotation and mothball or sell the some stuff. No room! I know I have some top shelf stuff hidden in there I haven't done justice to.
Tuesday Merkur Vision/ Gillette 7o'clock (Black) EJ BBB Medium :mad: Floris Elite SC Pashana AS 444 ASB This is my 4th shave with this brush and it continues to shed, I have lost about 20 hairs so far. I lost 8 hairs right out of the tube just checking it out. Not real happy with Edwin Jagger brushes.

Tuesday: Merkur Futur / Gillette 7 o'clock SharpEdge (yellow box) Simpson Polo 8 Super Truefitt & Hill Rose cream D.R. Harris Pink AS; TSD Lavender Milk Creed Royal Scottish Lavender cologne Second shave on the yellow-box 7 o'clock. I think there's a reason they're called SharpEdge -- I had to dial the Futur way down for this blade.

Tuesday 3/17 Penchetta Penworks Silvertip Palmolive Menthol Cool S/C Gillette Slim (4) Gillette 7OCB Thayer's Alcohol Free Original Anherb Gel EdT(C?) - Knize 10 Result: I'm getting a headache. It could be the lack of coffee for today, it could be the Knize 10, sometimes "colognes" do that to me. The Palmolive Menthol Cool was very cooling - I wonder if it's the same one crackstar had mentioned the other day as the scent was not very good. A bit like cardboard? Not horrible, but not good either. Very cooling though, and great protection and skin care. A very smooth, comfortable BBS shave. I can't stop faceturbating....
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep: Shavemac 22mm silvertip Brevete/ Dorco301 MWF Lucky Tiger AS Storer 'Monk' EdT This wasn't my finest morning shave......sigh. Three days in a row is the limit for this razor, since noticing my face can't take the aggressive nature for longer than that. Yeah, a couple weepers that went away fast, and my face didn't feel like it should when finished. Was a bit painful in a few spots, and felt a little tight. I also think the overconfident bug bit me a little, and it hoited (NY slang for hurt) me a little. You know, like in "Don't hoit da boids". Well, that razor goes back in the box for a while. Fatboy wonderfulness on tap for tomorrow. Not all shaves can be gems............. Martin

Yes, I will tomorrow morning when I get home from work. I will make a separate thread for it though so we don't clog the SOTD thread.
