Tuesday

• Soap: MB Awakenings
• Brush: GN-ER
• Razor: Shave King
• Blade: 7 O'Clock Black (#3)

Tuesday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi TTO/new Super Max
Irisch Moos S/C
Arko Aqua A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Acqua di Selva cologne

No menthol from this Irisch Moos cream, but it's still wonderful--I love the scent, lather, and the skincare. The Aqua gel provides great cooling and soothing after a shave, and smells very nice.

 

Tuesday: Lord Smart Razor / ASCO Orange blade / C.O.Bigelow Cream / Omega 61384 brush / Old Spice Aftershave

Smooth, easy two pass BBS today. What a way to start the day!

 

Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Soap
Simpson Duke 3
TOBS Avocado
Merkur HD
Gillette Swede (4)
Aqua Velva
Nivea Sensitive ASB
Lime Skin Food

 

I alternate between Derbys and Feathers. Soon I'll have some Astras and Personnas to add to the mix

 

Is the Aramis splash expensive? You've been using it a lot lately, how is it?

 

Merkur Slant
Gillette Platinum
Kent Bk4
Mama Bear's Tuscan Memories SS
Speick Aftershave splash

Nice soap for a rainy day... I'm on my second week with the same blade.

Tuesday

Omega Boar Brush ( 1st day on the job)
Cedarfurnitureman SS ( 1st use for this also)
Thayer's Lavender WH

The Cedarfurnitureman SS was a pleasant surprise. The Omega brush from Em's Place arrived yesterday --- so it was pressed into service this a.m.-- it easily created enough lather for 3 passes.

 

Trumpers razor
Plisson brush
Floris Santal shave cream
DR Harris Pink AS
Floris Santal EDT

 

Been using the EdT a lot lately, me boy, not the splash.

Tuesday 4/28

• Penchetta Penworks Redwood Burl Slivertip
• Irisch Moos Shave Stick
• 6/8 Boker Edelweiss
• Thayer's A/F Original
• Swiss Pitralon

Result: Very nice shave today. Didn't like the smell of the Swiss Pitralon as I was putting it on - so much so that I dumped the rest of the decant. Haha, jokes on me...as it settles, it's turning out to be a not-so-unpleasant scent. Great skincare, too.
