SoS: January 16th ~ January 22nd, 2012

153 times, loved them. As soon as those first notes were sounded, it was pure mental relaxation.

Getting to and from the shows was the job, but once in, everybody was the same and with one common goal-to get off on the show.

 

Tuesday:


Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Palmindaya SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Booster Polar Ice AS
JHL Cologne

I had a "Brazilian Barbershop Shave" this morning - the Palmindaya cream is used in barbershops all over Brazil, and it's fantastic stuff. The lather is a pleasure to work with, and I love the scent. The only thing is, a little extra moisturizer is needed after the shave. The Polar Ice aftershave is a definite keeper for me. Sorry for the lack of pictures today.

 

Scott don't you make me order anymore Merkurs! lol.

 

Got a shipment from JoAnna @ TSD today.

Great shave, thanks JoAnna

 

Nice looking handle there Byrd.


Hoffritz Travel Slant
Voskhod
Shavemac 585
The Shave Den "Lime Ice Cream" soap

Great handle Rodd. As you can see from my posts it quickly made it's way to the front of my rotation.

 

I am glad the slant was a hit.

Wednesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Tibet Forest Fresh SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Polo Original EDT

This set-up would have been perfect for a Menthol Monday Shave also - the Tibet Forest Fresh cream feels so icy with super-rich lather and a nice scent. The Osage Rub always delivers its great and ultra-potent freezing effect that I love so much. By the way, the Tibet Forest Fresh cream is a Bangladeshi cream which is used in many barbershops over there.
