Astra SP (1)
Cool Water Rinse
TSD Angel Type ASM
TSD Angel Type Cologne

First shave with the Astra, very comfy and smooth. My nylons didn't tug once while I was putting them on.

Have a great day!

 

Wyatt that definitely looks like a golden shave!

 

Another good razor:

Barbasol razor
Iridium blade
VdH Luxury badger
Vintage Old Spice Soap

First try with the Barbasol, and got a very good shave. I just have this one pack of Iridiums, which I'm only just now getting around to trying, after they've been discontinued. The Old Spice soap is very nice indeed, but not so much that I'd buy more at eBay prices. Maybe I'll get lucky at a thrift shop some time. The VdH badger has started shedding a bit too much, hopefully it's just a phase.

 

Happy Tuesday From Florida!

Tuesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Rapira day 2
Kool Frosty SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Alt Innsbruck AS
JHL Cologne

This Bangladeshi beauty named Kool Frosty almost deserves the award because it's very mentholated. The lather is super-rich and creamy just like the Godrej creams. The Alt Innsbruck makes the end of a shave so enjoyable!

 

As a kid, I think it was this album that got my ears into orchestras, trumpets, and actually opened the door to alternative and more serious musics...And the movie got me digging Aston Martins and noticing chicks rather than playing Davy Crocket...LOL!!

 

Shirley Bassey was born just down the road from me, in Cardiff Tiger bay, it's somewhat different to when Shirley lived there, in fact it's a fantastic waterside development with lovely bars and restaurunts and a world class theatre, I advise anyone comming to Wales head for the Bay it's vibrant full of life and lots of fun.

Regards Jamie.

Tuesday, December 6th

Razor: Rotbart
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Semogue LE2 #87 (Boar)
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
A/S: Floid Suave

I gave into temptation an adopted a Semogue LE Boar Brush (#87). The finest boar hair is definitely a different creature from your typical boar hair and it is fairly soft right out of the box. I had no problems ginning up a copious amount of lather from Mitchell's Wool Fat and enjoyed an excellent shave followed by a splash of Floid Suave.
