After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep: Shavemac 22mm silvertip 1946-47 Aristocrat/Iridium TGQ Bay Rum with sweet orange oil SS TSD Spring Equinox AS milk TGQ 'Leatherneck' extrait I'll use this type razor maybe once or twice a month, and today was it. Yeah, I love the way these look and how they feel in my hand, and the shave is usually a nice one. It's just a smidge more aggressive than I normally like, but still one of the milder fixed head types I've tried. The feather's not right for me in this razor, but the Iridium does the trick nicely. The results are a very close shave.........a little closer than when using my fatboy. Man, it's been way too long since last using Colleen's soap. The stuff performs really well, plus it's my favorite of all the bay rum themed types. That little bit of orange oil seems to temper the blast of bay rum EO. Very nice! Quite a pleasant way to start the morning, with BBS results. Martin

Saturday afternoon: Simpson Polo 8 Super Vintage Blades Rose cream Muhle R89 with Gillette "Swede" blade Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel w/alcohol Clinique Post-Shave Healer Knize 10 EdT Today was my first outing with the Muhle R89. It's a really well-built piece for its price point, and it produced a smooth, irritation-free shave with a new Swede loaded up. This razor might be a great option for those that are seeking a well-built, three piece razor that delivers a milder shave.
It's the best movie I've seen in ages. It's a spectacle. I just watched Lost Highway, which is good - but no Mulholland Dr. Song is gorgeous, huh?

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep: Shavemac 22mm silvertip 1946-47 Aristocrat/Iridium TGQ Leatherneck SS TSD Spring Equinox AS milk TGQ 'Leatherneck' extrait The Aristocrat gave me about as close a shave as I can remember, which makes up for having to pay more attention to detail with this thing. I came close to making a mistake on my ATG chin pass, but caught myself just in time. Yeah, I had that split second warning(pre bite......heh) and stopped right away. The Leatherneck has to be my favorite scent of all the many soaps/creams I've used. Performance is excellent, and the lather has a great look to the stuff. Heh, even though I screwed it up a little this morning(no idea why), the results still worked well. I believe some spontaneous facturbation is on the schedule for today. Martin
