Tuesday:

Gorey's Chairman
Lord Super/7 AM day 3
Arko Moist-SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue-AS
Azzaro Pour Homme-EDT

A pretty good shave this morning--the Lord Super/7 AM combination always works well for me. I wish the Arko Moist cream was more strongly mentholated, but I guess it's ok just the way it is.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
fatboy/Gillette super chromium(vintage made in England)
Penhaligons Racquets SC
Lucky Tiger AS

For some reason, this blade performed even better than yesterday. In any case, these remind me of the NOS Wilkinson blades as far as smoothness. They aren't quite as sharp as an Iridium, but still did an excellent job of whisker whacking this morning. Those were a lucky find for me, as it turns out.

Man, I really like this shaving cream. Very nice scent and excellent performance. What more could you ask for. A nice way to start my day.

BBS results,

Martin

It's nice to be back.

On account of this wretched weather, I was wearing this Oxford shirt, dark blue like the scuttle bearing the University's name, so I decided to bust out that elegant piece of china, which, along with a similarly-styled Floris, I'll be putting on BST soon.

I'm scared to break them :happy102

The pic will be here when I find my SD Card .....

A close shave, BBS in fact, the Gillette adj. is a superb razor

 

I love the Super Adj. Very hefty, well-constructed razor. I have the short handle.

Out of curiosity, what do you dial it on?
