Thursday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Ice Cool SC
Everest EDC/AS Balsam
JHL Cologne

I received another great shave from the 7 AM today, but I think it's time for a change after 6 shaves. The Ice Cool cream from Bangladesh is full of super-rich lather, and the scent is so nice. It would be a good choice for a Menthol Monday because it's very cooling. I love the Everest eau de cologne/aftershave balsam because it soothes and moisturizes very well, and it also contains plenty of menthol.

 

It doesn't get any better than Omega...

There is a lot to say about having a dependable, steady, "I know you're going to be here forever" something in your life ... the Lord L6 is my kind of guy!

It's going to be a warm and toasty 80 degrees here on Sunday so I broke out the Mango Coconut to get in the mood ... a drive to the beach just might be in order.

Have a great day!

Thursday

Schick Hydro-magic
Schick blade
Penworks finest
Monsavon
DR Harris Marlborough AS



I had my super adjustable out this morning...but with 3 days of growth the injector was calling promising "magic". The Monsavon slathered like a dream...and I honestly love the scent of the soap! After three passes I ended up with a bbs shave on my face and dfs on my neck.
Bird Lives once mentioned the Hydro-magic is the Aston Martin of injector razors...I am starting to believe him. This pic's for you buddy!

 

That is a nice set-up. Thats a good idea, I'm gonna have to take some measurements and see if I can get away with the same kind of thing. I don't have much room in my bathroom either, and I have to compete with the wife daughter.
Nice job, thanks for sharing.

 

Thursday morning,

Schick G1 Injector Razor w/ Personna Blade (6)
Omega 20107 Boar Bristle Brush,
Arko shave soap w/ hot water lather,
finish w/ cold water rinse for a CCS!



A close, comfortable shave with the Schick G1!

 

TOBS Eton (SC/AS), Vie-Long (Horse), JB Razor


I've tried the Vie-Long with hard soaps (ok+), MWF (ok), Sticks (ok+) and now creams (this is where it goes +++). Picture is after 2.5 passes and it was still producing lather.

 

You want to trade places with me?

 

The boss took a few of us out to lunch yesterday. That's usually when I can catch up on things here at TSD.
Missed you guys, but lunch was very good - Philly Cheesesteak wit from Chickie's and Pete's. (no, I didn't forget the "h" ) Man, they have great crab fries!

Hey, I like Tampa. I will be right down after the first of the year. Would be a great place to be in January and February when the temps are in the - (minus) range up here.

 

Well the minus range might be a bit much, but I would love it if Florida would just have four distinct seasons instead of summer and almost summer.
