Well...Heres to my first post in SoS Merkur 34C HD Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless 10065 Omega Brush TSD Iced Mojito Cream T.N. Dickenson Witch Hazel Aqua Velva Blue Ice Nivea After Shave Extra Soothing Balm - Sensitive Skin This was my first shave without shave oil (my training wheels) and my second using TSD cream. Since my last shave was so far from being close I switch from using my fat handled tech to the HD. I could tell that I wasn't using oil when I started my first pass on my cheek, I could feel the blade was very close. But over all it wasn't bad, a DFS and only one weeper that didn't bleed. But I have some mild irritation on my chin, so I'll be back to the techs to work more on my technique.
After a lot of work in garden and around the house, a hot shower with Dr Bronners Lavender Soap - very nice soap! Castle Forbes day today: Slim adjustable, with Red Personna (2 day) Castle Forbes Cedarwood and Sandalwood cream, whipped up with my RV Silvertip Castle Forbes Cedarwood and Sandalwood ASB Castle Forbes Lonach

Gold Lady Gillette Iridium Super Knotty Badger Best TSD Tropical Verbena Soap TSD Bergamot (sp?) ASM I can't believe how many shaves I am getting out of these blades. Pretty impressive.
Rodd, how aggressive are Lady Gillettes? What razor would you compare them to? The reason I ask is if they're, say, even fairly aggressive, women of the old must have had a tough time staying clean...
"D" Day 65th Anniversay F2 Superspeed w/Derby Shavemac Horn D01 Moss Scuttle Valobra Shave Stick Aqua Velva Ice Blue A/S I didn't really need to shave today...but did so to relax and indulge. Nothing fancy though, just nice, clean and fresh! Also, and more importantly, took the time to remember all those that fought for our freedom 65 years ago today and especially the 14,000 Canadian troops that stormed Juno Beach.
