Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Cerrus-SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Old Spice Classic-AS (P&G)
Old Spice-Cologne (Shulton)

A quick, but good, close shave to begin the work week. Cerrus is one of the cheapest creams you can find in Germany, but it's excellent. I love the rich lather it gives, the scent is very nice as well, and it has a discrete cooling effect.

 

Good Monday morning all...

E.J. Chattsworth w/ SuperMax Platinum
Trumper Superbadger
Arko Lemon sc
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Anherb a/s gel
Trumper Spanish Leather Edt

DFS this morning...the Arko cream feels good and works well...and I do like that Spanish Leather.

 

Rockin the Veg Monday

Hot Shower
Glycerin Pre-shave
1908 Ever Ready Lather Catcher
Semogue 2000
Williams Soap
WH/CHL
Clubman Lilac Vegetal
Murray and Lanman's Lotus and Violets Cologne

Very Nice Shave! Surely I'm not the only Lilac Vegetarian here? It does go on a bit rough but the dry down is a delightful, powdery, flowery, smell that is quite enjoyable.

 

Not tried it yet. I have too many stories of skunkified plastic bottles. One of these days maybe... but then again, I haven't tried anything Clubman yet either

MONDAY

Edwin Jagger DE89 Custom Elite Razor Handle
Tesco Blade
Vulfix 6006 Badger
Kell's Juniper Sage Shave Soap
Panama Jack Aloe
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

 

Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Shave Den!

Soap: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet milled into Old Spice mug
Brush: Rudy Vey 24mm custom Desert Ironwood #2
Razor: The Pistachio Friodur
AS: Osage Rub
EDT: Geo. F. Trumper's Curzon

Today, I discovered if I swirl the tip of the wet brush gently in the Penhaligon's for a few seconds, then transfer the brush to a secondary "latherizing" container (another Old Spice mug in this case) then I get a much more satisfying foam than by either face-lathering or bowl-lathering alone. What a great discovery, and a wonderful shave! Cheers, all!

 

Thank you Justin, I was so tired last night, it completely slipped my mind.

Razor: Merkur Futur on 1.75
Blade: Iridium Super
Brush: Rooney SMF III
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Tabac
A/S: TOBS Luxury Sandalwood Gel

Another great shave! I always get good performance out of Tabac and the Futur/Iridium combo cannot be beat. I am under the weather today and I found the sandalwood gel to be very pleasant and soothing. I need to use it more often.

I decided to try out the Astra Superior Platinum in my Futur for the first time about 3 shaves and struck gold! Smoothest, closest shave to date with this combo.

Monday Shave

Monday, November 16, 2009

Razor: Futur
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson (India)
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Soap/Cream: Cyril Salter Sublime Citrus cream
A/S: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel/Ogallala Bay Rum, Limes, & Peppercorns

An excellent, smooth and comfortable, BBS shave this morning on the second shave of the Indian Wilkinson. Part of the credit must go to the Salter cream, which seems to think it is a soap--very protective, with lots of warm, citrusy goodness.

The Ogallala splash provided a fine and complementary finish.
