SoS: January 9th ~ January 15th, 2012

There is a mall about 1/2 hour away from me that has both a L'Occitane and a Kiehl's store. Nordstrom department stores also carry the full Kiehl's line.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Anytime!

 

Slanted Shave # 17-A Late One

I'm still the same kid...I had seminars these past two days and both days I stayed in bed forever. Slanty keeps me smooth so I shaved and took another shower after class.

Nice steaming hot shower with MWF and then a shave.

EBC Preshave
Vulfix 404 Mixed
Cella Soap
Gillette 7 o'clock Black (2)
Merkur 37 C Slant
Witch Hazel
TSD Bourbon Vanilla Milk
Alcolado Glacier

I will call this a few of my favorite things shave, everything used is among my all time favorites.

Another Five Blade Shave-Get Bent, Shave with a Slanty

 

Oh Cella how you tempt me so! It's on my short list of soon to buy soaps, I've read countless times it performs well above it's small price tag.

 

I don't believe you would be disappointed in it.

 

Без ментола это будет очень серьезно! ( Я шучу!)

 

Wednesday's shave, very similar to yesterday's:
Calani Dubai shave soap stick
Mühle Basic Nr.2 with Silver Tip Fibre
Merkur 11C open comb
ASP (2.)
Speick Men After Shave

 

Muhle R41 (2009)
Voskhod
Knotty Badger Boar
C&E Sandalwood soap
Geo F Trumper Sandalwood Skin Food
C&E Sandalwood Cologne

 

Tues Jan 10
Brush: Vie-Long Boar
Soap/Creme: MWF
Razor: Shumate Barber followed by a Gillette Old
Blade: Astra Sp in the old.. I think.
Pre: Hot Towel
Post: Alum and Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Cream Oil
Result: The new little boar did great with the MWF, which was a good thing, since my straight razor skills aren't exactly first rate ( including my stropping skills, apparently, since the razor was a lot sharper the previous time I'd used it, despite my best efforts). Still, I managed 2 passes of reduction with it without any nicks. I finished up with a Gillette old, since it just felt right to use my oldest vintage DE razor to finish up a shave with my vintage straight.

 

Hot Shower
Pears Face Soap
Proraso Pre Shaving Cream
Merkur 1904 open comp
BigBen (Lord Made ) Blade SS (1st day )
Schwarzweisskeramik XL
Simpson Chubby 3 in Best Badger
MWF
Old Spice Lagoon
EJ Aloe Vera Balm

 

It is indeed a delight, wonderful stuff

 

I don't have the Midget but I've got the Omega Baby-Pro (10029), I think they're close to the same size if not exactly...Maybe the only differance is the handle material...I agree, it's amazing...Omega sure knows what they're doing...and their small brushes are unbelieveable. They hold enough lather to shave 3 men and a pony , and they make it so easy to put the lather where you want it with an artist's accuracy...

Wednesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Musgo Real SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Musgo Real Classic AS
Santos de Cartier EDT

Man oh man, I'm so smooth this morning that it's unreal. The 7 AM blade did its job like a real champion - by the way, the Musgo cream lathers so well that just a little is needed for a nice multi-pass shave. The matching aftershave feels so good afterwards.

 

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE87
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vie-Long Gonzalo Boar/Horse
Soap or Cream: Valobra Soft Soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Meehan Bay Rhum Splash

An excellent shave this morning, very refreshing. I don't know why, but I hadn't used Valobra for awhile. It was nice to get reacquainted.
