SoS: August 10-16 2009

Rodd will be returning shortly, so in my best Rodd voice: "Lets see those shaves for the week! As always, bonus points for pictures!"

Semogue 2000 Boar Brush
Godrej Menthol Mist shaving cream
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue aftershave lotion

Caswell-Massey Lime cologne

With all the heat and humidity here, the Menthol Mist was a real treat.

Monday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 2
Proraso Aloe & Green Tea-SS

I strongly suggest anybody who hasn't tried this new Proraso soap to get it. The lather and scent are fantastic, and it has plenty of menthol in it, and not only that, the skincare is great.

Nice set up man!How do you like the Wheat shaving cream?

 

Today was just my first time using it. Lathered easily and protected fairly well. I got a few weepers, but that was probably due to not using out a MM for a while (wrong angle used across neck!) and it was fresh sharp pella blade. I often use the iced subzero soap, so I was used to the cold factor and smell. But this was a pleasant change. So far no skin reaction - so all is great!

 

Thanks man!Something is telling me that cream is gonna be a winner.The combination of lanolin with wheat germ and the Iced subzero sounds demolishing.Ill try it tomorrow morning.

 

Austin, what blades do you use?

 

C-MON razor
Omega 10066 boar
Palmolive soap

:anifrozenJust what the doctor ordered for the heat today.

 

I usually use Personna and Dorcos. Last week I revisited Feathers but realized that I still don't like them very much. They are still too aggressive for my taste.
