31 July, Friday

Gillette Super Click w/ Gillette Super Thin
Omega '65
Tabac SS
Penhaligon's Opus 1870 EDT



Fantastic shave this morning. I really like the Click. BBS without any effort. Amazing. The boar brush delivered a great lather with my grated-into-a-bowl stick of Tabac.

Thanks TSD (mainly Teiste and Truckman), for introducing to the boar.

 

welcome to the CULT,once youre in is hard to get out...:happy102

 

I used my new KAI Captain Excelia razor today with a Captain Sharpblade.
The brush is a Shavemac 19mm knot D01, fan style.

BBS shave. Not as nice as the Feather AC DX, but I really like this razor. And the shave overall made me wonder why I don't use AdP more often.
Very enjoyable. Very extraordinary.

It’s a hot humid day and I won’t be shaving ‘til this evening. A menthol shave cream would probably be the logical choice, but I’ve got fresh lime on my mind; and so fresh lime it’ll be. After the shower and shave my wife and I will be hitting the town because it’s Friday here in Japan and Friday night is for cold drinks (yes, alcohol will be involved) eating yakitori (grilled meat on a stick) and lots of laughs. I do this every Friday and I never tire of it. TGIF!

 

Friday July 31

Pre: GFT Sandalwood Skinfood
Brush: e-Shave Silvertip
Cream: Faulding (found at supermarket and cost under 3 bucks)
Razor: 1930's Aristocrat
Blade: Astra Superior (Brand new)
Aftershave:Alum block followed by Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm
Cologne: Floris No 89

Quite impressed with the Faulding shave cream, it has a citrus type scent and lathered very well.

I've seen such razors in pictures, and would have no idea how to use one. WTF is that design?

IX.
FRIDAY. CIRCA VI A.M.

Wash: Roped Musgo
Razor: Gillete Fusion
Lather: Rilanja Cream
Brush: Omega 10077
Finish: Aramis, Aramis.

...

Fusion's dead after a few shaves - cart's blades totally blunted.

Rilanja's a big boy's SC.

Aramis Splash's having no moisturizing properties is fine as the the AS smells divine, and I always follow any splash with moisturizer.

You've a fantastic vocabulary.

That razor looks dynamite - disappointed to hear it's not as good as a piece from the Feather range.

 

That's a nice-looking, well-sized Omega, and it's nice to see another who appreciates the Click
