GEM Micromatic w/ ASR The little boar brush that could (from grabbox) MWF Alum Block TSD Bergamot Splash T&H 1805 A couple weepers again on the chin from the GEM, but overall much better than last shave. Near BBS this time, and except my chin, no irritation. What I call "the little boar brush that could" is the little travel sized boar brush I recieved from the grab box. Loaded this once and was able to get enough lather for 3 passes and enough I could have touched up. A much better brush than my VDH boar, even though it's half the size.

I was on the road for the last 3 days and this is the set-up I used everyday of the trip. Bic Metal Godrej Lime Fresh shaving cream Omega boar brush CVS Cooling aftershave lotion Nivea Extream Comfort post shave balm The Bic Metal is far superior to the Bic Sensitive razor (IMHO).
I know, and Love Theme's the best. PBS did a fairly recent production surrounding the song incorporating various artists. Yo-Yo Ma + a renowned jazz man whose name has escaped me put on an A+ performance.
26 May, Tuesday Merkur Futur w/ Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless Rooney 3/1 "Super" GFT Sandalwood SS GFT Sandalwood Skin Food GFT Eucris EDT The Futur, predictably (or boringly?), gave a great shave. No irritation or nicks today. Sandalwood SS was good. I have a few samples of the GFT Skin Food, figured I'd try the Sandalwood one. Seems nice, but looking at the price, it's rather pricey.
XXVI MAY '9. FOUR-THIRTY A.M. Razor - Merkur Long Blade - Super Iridium Cream - Gillette Cold Brush - C A&D E Best Splash - AV Ice Blue. ... Lebanese Gillette SC in menthol ain't as potent as I recall, so I now believe Kent Red is the coldest product I've tried. The price difference between the two, however, is tremendous, and the Red's tube only houses 75ml of cream. Excellent shave. ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdHBXunvoJA&feature=related
