Wednesday, October 5, 2011 - Open Comb Week!

• Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, Musgo Real men's body soap (Thanks Johnny!), hand strop blade
• Lather: Cella (Thanks Johnny!) - face lather
• Brush: Semogue 1250
• Razor: Gem OCMM
• Blade: Ted Pella SS PTFE (7), 2+ passes
• Post: Alum block, WH, Aqua Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade

Unable to shave yesterday I was really looking forward to hearing the OCMM mow down my 2-day growth. It was my first time using the Cella that Johnny PIFed me and it was amazing. So easy to lather, very slick surface, and a pleasantly sweet almond scent.

 

Wednesday

Razor - Muhle R106
Blade - Vikings Sword
Brush - Penworks Finest
Soap - Martin de Candre
ASB - Sea of Spa

This morning the shave went pretty well! The Vikings blade seems to be holding a good edge and I was able to do a fine 3-pass shave. I tried out the sample of Martin de Candre soap I received this week. Everything you read about this soap is true! The scent...while the soap itself smells rather medicinal, you hardly need to touch your brush to it and you generate a luxurious lather. This morning I think I did 10 swirls on the puck and there was more than enough lather for 3 passes (I did a test lather with only 5 light swirls...same result). Needless to say I think I know what my birthday gift to myself will be this year! This soap is amazing!

 

Wednesday:

Shumate 5/8
EJ BBB
Palmolive Stick
Witch Hazel
Nivea S. Balm
Eternity edt

 

I'm glad you are enjoying the products. I must say I had to question my sanity after sending you that package with the Cella in it. One of my favorite soaps. The postman will be bringing me two packages of it tomorrow.

 

Congrats!!!!! Pray that Mom, baby, and dad are all doing great!

Wednesday:
Coffee: Pete's Major Dickinson's Blend in a Chemex manual drip.
Brush: Vie-Long Caballo Extra 04212 Horse hair
Razor: 50's Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless, 1
Cream: Taylor's Lavender
Toner: Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
AS: Gillette Cool Wave

Superb! With this brush, I find that once I've built up the lather in a bowl with swirling brush work, painting the lather back and forth on the face builds the lather even more and gives a better coating of product. It also tames the bit of prickliness too. Happy Shaving!

 

OC Wed:

Nivea Post Shave Balm
Brut Attitude AS

I don't use SEs enough to know how many shaves this blade has been through, but it can't be that much. Very nice mild shave from this razor, I feel like I can abuse my face with it and it still won't get out of line. Very little irritation and no cuts, even doing some questionable maneuvers that other razors definitely would not have tolerated. I did notice though that no matter how I tried, in the end I wasn't able to get quite as close as a I would've with a DE. Overall a solid 4/5.

 

Yeah, I was wondering why it was included especially when I saw your avatar being the Cella shaving man instead of the MWF.
