SoS: June 21-27 2010

Let's see those shaves for the week! As always, bonus points for pictures!

 

Monday June 21

55' Gillette Red Tip
Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (6)
Vulfix 2235 Super
TSD Sub Zero
Osage Rub, Master Blue

5 Blade shave, 3++ passes. Pushed it to day 6. No weepers, but getting BBS did take much more touch up today. The only other 6 day bbs blade I have found is a Gem/Ted Pella Coated. Got more blades to try. Great shave, great freeze!

 

Hot Shower
Boker Barber Tip
Semogue 2000
TSD Florida Water Type
Ivy Club/Clubman Bay Rum hybrid
Murray and Lanman's Florida Water

Thanks Jeff for the sample of TSD FWT. Worked well. A great 3 pass shave.

 

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Ming Shi TTO/new Wilkinson Sword
Ingram-SC :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing
Gillette Fusion Pro Series-AS Balsam :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Acqua di Selva-Cologne

Ahhhh, my face feels so nice and cool after a shave with Ingram--by the way, this Gillette Fusion balm has a ton of menthol in it as well, it's very moisturizing, and it smells really nice!

Happy First Day Of Summer From Steamy Florida!

Hot Shower
Redneck Scuttle
Generic Horse Hair Brush
TGQ Highlander SC
EJ DE89L
Dorco 301 - Hand Stropped
Cold Water Splash
Alum Block
Witch Hazel
Florida Water

Four Passes = BBS!

First shave with the EJ that I got in a trade with Williams Warrior / Keith. It is a good smooth shaving razor with a nice heft. The TGQ Highlander has an interesting scent. I can't quite place it though. But it was very slippery and cushioning.

Monday Menthol Madness

Parker 91r razor
US Personna blade
Vie-Long brush
Ingram's SC
Osage Rub
Barbasol Pacific Rush A/S

Nice shave, frozen face.

 

Monday, the basics

Proraso Cream
Penworks Silvertip
Schick L1 injector
Pella blade

I think I bought this tube of Proraso near the beginning of 2009. I've used it at regular intervals, but far from exclusively, so it isn't surprising that it's lasted this long. Still, you get a lot of shaves from these.

 

Monday

Razor: 1962 Gillette Adjustable
Blade: Astra (6)
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Cream: Omega
A/S: Aqua Velva

 

Monday--1st Day of Summer!

Monday, June 21, 2010

Razor: Merkur Long-Handled Classic (23C)
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Cream: Proraso
A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Proraso Splash

Excellent BBS shave. I still think Proraso is one of the better creams out there--it has never given me a bad shave.

The Proraso splash was a great way to top off today's shave.

 

Razor: 1912 Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem PTFE
Brush: Ever Ready 79
Soap: Williams
AS: Clubman

 

Now that's what I call STYLIN' with the Classics! Outstanding shave kit and threads! :happy108

 

Monday

Prep: Hot shower, hand strop blade, soak brush
Coffee: Home roasted Costa Rica Tarrazu, hot & black
Cream: Tom's of Maine
Brush: Mohawk 3-338
Razor: Futur @ 2.75
Blade: Bic Platinum Chrome, day 1, 3+ passes
Post: Cold water rinse, ice water splash, Osage Rub, Brut AS
'Stache Wax: Firehouse Wacky Tacky

Shave Rating: 5 Blades

Another great shave today. The Futur never fails to give an outstanding performance.

With so many other great products out there, I'll enjoy my Tom's of Maine while I still can, then move on. Still about half a tube left, so it'll last me a while.



Are there any Bs?
