Tuesday. It's been better. TSD Blueberry shave soap. Ever-Ready reknotted badger brush. Gem OC Micromatic with Walgreens blade. Okay shave, but this home re-knot is still losing too much hair. The other one I did seems to be a little better. This soap doesn't give me the best results. Takes a lot of water and a lot of soap to get a decent lather.
Tuesday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Triton day 3 Rose of Bulgaria-SC Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Sir Canada Cedar-AS Santos de Cartier-EDT My first shave with this Rose of Bulgaria cream, which smells VERY, VERY rosey, and lathers thick and rich, with good skincare. Menthol is listed as one of the ingredients, but I don't feel it, so I imagine that there isn't really enough to give a cooling sensation. It's still a good cream.
Hot Shower Glycerin Pre-shave Boker Red Injun #102 Omega Boar Brush VDH Deluxe Corn Huskers Lotion Pinaud Lilac Vegetal Seems like this razor gets better every time I pick it up. BBS shave today.
-Ever Ready Vintage Boar Brush-red handle -Omega SS -Gem Jr. -Ted Pella Blade (4) -TSD Iced Mojito Splash -Lab Series AS balm -discovered a new use for the Proraso Pre/Post cream. My face felt a bit dry before going to sleep last night so I dabbed a bit on-it felt fantastic and I think contributed to a fantastic morning shave today. I'm not sure if this will become a nightly ritual for me, but it was mighty nice.
Tuesday: EJ Parker frankenrazor Shark SuperChrome blade Vintage Williams SC Vulfix 405 Boar brush Osage Rub Pinaud Clubman A/S Best shave of the week (so far)
Merkur HD Fresh Feather Blade (corked) Vulfix Badger Brush Glycerin Pre-shave Bio Palmyra (mentholated) TSD Iced English Fern After Shave Nice shave today. I often overlook my HD in favor of some of my vintage razors but I am always happy to find it still provides a mighty fine shave.

Tuesday 1980 Flair Tip. Red Personna Mühle Pure SWK Scuttle Nanny's Silly Soap - Citrus Zinger Alum Brut Aquatonic AS Nivea ASB. I believe this is a 1980 Flair - it is certainly the right date (A), but then i know that the date stamp "A" was used a number of different times - however the gent who sent this on to me said 1980, so hopefully it is my Birth year razor Nice shave, though my issue with the Gillette is the same as with all the vintage razors i have tried - they are very small in the hand. I guess i have got very used to my EJ Chatsworth and Merkur Futur. I'm sure i will get used to them though. Have a pleasant day chaps.

With the weather getting warmer, the city's tap water is warming, as well. Time to break out the .5 liter of water I keep in the 'fridge just for the warmer months. I do like my cold splash in the face after a shave.
