SoS: January 2nd ~ January 8th, 2012

I am lucky Jeff. As Randy says, "Slanta" was good and I am enjoying all my goodies old and new.

And I am adoring the Cella Soap.

Happy New Year,

scott

 

It lines up pretty naturally Randy. I hold the ends of the blades to keep them in place. I then eye them, and I'm good to go. The post does the real work, and the tto works great for it's closing function. It lines up nice, Gary picked me a good one.

Thanx again for your kind words. First few shaves where DFS but I seem to have bonded lately and am getting great shaves.

Sweet razor, Brian! I don't know much about straights, but that looks like serious business.

 

Randy....the Japanese style makes it look worse than it really is! Many people say it is not a real straight as it uses replaceable blades. The edge is actually sharper than a traditional straight but currently I dont have the knowledge to maintain a traditional blade. That will be my goal for 2012.

 

Happy New Year EVERYONE And, since this is my 1,000 th POST, I thought this morning's shave should be special. My pick was a Double Ring 1905 that I just got from another member and arrived right after Christmas. So, Somerset Simmons Eagle 2 badger, TSD soap, Double Ring Gillette Old Type OC, Voskhod Blade from Jody's adventure, and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT +(Becker Scuttle)

Nice and quick shave today, there isn't enough that can be said about TSD's wheat SC. I always get a very cushiony shave when I use them.

Now, I'm off to work!

Have a spectacular day today!

 

Tuesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Bozzano Sensitive SC
Svoboda AS Balsam
Barbon AS Splash
JHL Cologne

Although this 7 AM blade is ready for the garbage can now, it still gave me a great BBS shave. The Bozzano Sensitive cream from Brazil has an insanely rich lather, a strong, but nice eucalyptus scent, a very good menthol effect, and it really is soothing for sensitive skin. The Svoboda balsam and Barbon aftershave splash added a wonderful cold continuation of the menthol.

 

Eveline shave gel as preshave
Clog Pruf/Gem
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Red Line SC
Alum
Mayor Energy Platinum splash

Clog Pruf is an interesting razor but very different from OCMM. Need some practice more with it. DFS!
