fun day for me with a jury duty notice for this morning...like they'll let a uniformed cop on a jury... anyway: Atra razor TSD's TABAC-LIKE Witch Hazel w/ menthol splash Old Spice A/S I know some of you guys don't like to hear about good shaves with a cart. but this razor really works well and is much much cheaper to use than the new-fangled cartridge razors out there now. Perfecto BBS even on the neck and jaw with 2 passes and a touch-up.
No. It's about collectible Gillette's, expensive blades, out of production tallow soaps and expensive after shave... oh wait...that's not this place...:happy102 EW

Monday Hot shower + hot towels EJ BBB Gillette slim Gillette swedes Ingram S/C Proraso A/S splash Cold towels Nivea A/S balm Nice cool shave! I strated using the gillette swedes on saturday evening and was very happy with it. It's sharp, maybe not as sharp as a feather but gives a very comfortable shave. As a matter of fact i didn't even thought about what blade i had in the razor the first passes. Guess it's a sign that things are about to come together. Also used TOBS mr taylor S/C on saturday. What a great scent! That's by now my official evening wear scent!
MONDAY, 18 MAY '9. Body - Fiorentino Rose Hair - C&E Rose Water Razor - Personna Blue Lather - Gastby Cream Brush - Allen Solly Boar Splash - Jean-P. Gaultier Finish - Jean-P. Gaultier. ... Personna dual-track throwaways are razors I use here are there, free at the gym. Gatsby SC is Japanese, Aloe- and Witch Hazel-infused. The boar isn't dense but has a very pleasingly hefty ceramic handle. Unable to locate my copy of Gatsby, I substituted This Side of Paradise for the backdrop

I don't know where you get your information, but that's what DE shaving is all about. We all just make newbies think it's a "cheaper" alternative so they get hooked and can't stop. It's happened to all of us Actually, it's all about getting the best shave you can... price not being of concern.
19 May, Tuesday Merkur Futur w/ Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless Vulfix #2233 EJ Sea Buckthorn SS Penhaligon's Opus 1870 EDT Had a very nice shave today, with the EJ soap. Lathers very easily, generates a slick lather. Not as cushioning as the TOBS soap, but no irritation or nicks, even though I had the Futur at 1.5 today. Fourth shave with this same blade. I've tried stropping it on my Dovo strop in the evenings before using it the next morning. Fourth shave still feels smooth and sharp.
