Thursday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/new Wilkinson Sword
Derbylux SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Obsession For Men EDT

I think these Wilkinson Sword blades are pretty good and smooth - I got a real nice BBS shave this morning with almost no effort. It's been quite a while since I used the Derbylux cream, and I really enjoyed it. The lather and scent are great, and it's a hell of a face-freezer. Alcolado Glacial is in a class of its own!

 

Dovo en vogue stainless, 5/8, with Ator style scales. MWF and Osage Rub.

How is the 10005 treating you?

 

I love it. Have not picked up a badger since I got it.

 

Thursday

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Astra
Brush: Men-U boar
Soap: TSD Irish Spring style
Toner: Booster June Clover
A/S: Pinaud Clubman

I'm giving my face a break from straights for a few days. The weather here has been vacillating between dry and humid and as a result I've developed some dry patches that get easily irritated when I shave them with a straight. The Futur/Astra combination did a fine job with my face. The Booster June Clover helped moisturize my face and the Clubman finish was as wonderful as ever.

 

Thursday:

Barbasol Prep
Dovo Natural
The Dridecker
Conk Lime
Alum Block
Witch Hazel
Afta Fresh Balm
Jovan Musk After Shave/Cologne

 

I covet your brush - I have the 10066 and really like it, but the handle shape isn't quite
right for me. The 10005 looks like the ticket!

 

Thursday:

Only thing not pictured is a Feather blade.

I usually change blades after 3 uses but I did a headshave the other day with the Feather.Got BBS all around,I'm pleasantly surprised with the Gillette Black especially with the Feather,I probably could get another shave out of it but I dont want to push my luck.

Schick E2 Injector Razor w/ Schick blade (4)
Omega 10049 boar bristle brush,
MWF shaving soap w/ warm water lather,
finish w/ cold water rinse for a DFS!

 

Yup,Queen Charlotte Soap I like it a lot. Pretty cold stuff. Great Tallow Shave soap. I still wanna try TSD Sub Zero too!

 

Great brush. Feels good in the hand and the price is right. You should get one.

Gary has them on sale right now for $12.99

Omega 10005

 

Neither have I! It's the only brush I own!

Really though, it is a great brush. Been using it for 2ish years now.

 

I think about all the money I've spent on nice badger brushes for the past 10-years. Heck, I could have 15 of the Omega 10005 brushes setting on the shelf and have less money invested than I do in just two of my badgers. Now that's a thought, stock up on brushes before the price on pig goes up.

 

I'll send you a sample, it is good stuff!
