R102Super IridiumNapopleon's VioletChubby BoarIvy Club I decided to use a blue filter for that post modern feel; I have been sharing my SOTD images on Facebook and my co-workers seem to think this is all eBay or Flea-Market material.
Wednesday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/7 AM day 4 Kool Monsoon SC Keri unscented moisturizer Booster Iced Lime AS JHL Cologne The Kool Monsoon cream has a really nice lemony and tropical scent which goes very well with Booster Iced Lime aftershave, and explosive lather. The menthol effect is also good, although it starts off lightly at the beginning of the shave. This stuff and the 7 AM blades come from Bangladesh!
What do your co-workers use, Trac 5 and a can of foam, or the dreaded electric? You don't generally see pictures this nice on eBay or at Flea-Markets. It is evident your co-workers don't know who they are dealing with. You did tell them you are the Brushologist on TSD, didn't you?
A can of Barbasol and a Fusion is more like it haha... I told them what I am, however they're like the majority of people and haven't any clue this form of shaving still exists. The only person that really appreciated it was the VP, since I wrote a brief article in the company newsletter some years ago...

Tuesday and Wednesday Shaving has become very meditative for me. No matter my mood even a great one, the shave will start the day off with a smile. I have several products that I currently love, Proraso Pre/Post Gillette Dark Blues and Yellows, MY EJ89 (currently looking for a more agressive brother) and MWF. Johnny, u gave me to great suggestions. And the Vulfix 404 Mixed is a surprise, truly an unreal tool and attacks pucks with glee and leaves lather in it's wake.

Two very similiar shaves with some subtle changes. Each was excellent and smooth.

Bigelow Parkin, Day two. Bigelow Parkin Folding Razor Gillette Super Thin blade Omega Professional Boar Godrej Shaving Round Actually, the Godrej is no longer "a round", I grated it into one of those one piece mug/scuttles. Still roundish. Luckily, I picked a week for this razor when I wouldn't be rushed in the mornings. Maintaining the proper blade angle takes concentration, and ATG remains very tricky. Under the nose takes some improvisation. Still, I'd say that I got acceptable results, with just a bit more roughness left behind the jawbones and on the neck than I'm used to.
Wednesday JM Schmid & Son 6/8 Men-U Boar brush TSD Irish Spring type Pinaud Clubman I think I'm finally figuring out the TSD soap because I got a great lather from it this morning! Now that I'm done testing the Gillette SP blades I can return to using whatever razor I feel like using every day. The JM Schmid did a fine job, and I really like the way it looks after shining it up some, and the Pinaud Clubman made for a fine finish to a very good shave!
