SoS: February 13th, 2012 ~ February 19th, 2012

​

 

Now?

 

Change of plan then.

 

Hot Shower followed by PEARS face wash
Merkur Progress set on NO.4.5
Treet PSS
Shavemac Pure Badger
Trumper Coconut Oil Cream
Juvan lotion
Nivea Balm Cool

 

I'd be afraid I'd start shaving with the cig. and smoking the razor.

 

Monday, February 13, 2012 - Midnight Shave

Prep :: Luke warm water wetdown
Razor :: Fatip w/ BRW Handle
Blade :: Super Iridium (3)
Soap :: MWF
Brush :: Rudy Vey Silvertip
Post :: Alum, Cold water rinse, WH + Rosewater
AS :: Floid Blue + Musgo Real Milk

By looking at the blade exposure on the Fatip, you might think that it would take your face off. But it's very smooth and doesn't bite at all (but it's always smart to have a good soap on hand just in case). I'd put it a notch above the 37c/39c in aggressiveness, but nowhere near the widow maker.

I've promised myself that I'm not going to use my TSD products until I receive my latest TSD order. Yep, juuust waitin' on my TSD order <ahem> :mail:

 

trying a shave stick, decent lather, but not so great, should improve my technique.

 

Monday:
Gillette Aristocrat #66
Personna med prep
Rod Neep Cocobolo brush
TFS Barbe Rosse
Weleda ASB

 

Menthol Monday

Edwin Jagger 8911
Derby day 2
D.R. Harris best badger
Palmolive Menthol
TSD Iced Eucalyptus WH
Proraso spash



Yesterday I skipped a shave, that does not happen very often. A good way to see how the Jagger performs with an extra day of beard growth. The results of the first WTG reduction pass were impressive, I must say. Good to leave the stubble behind, fresh menthol start of a new week.

Nice and chilly shave and nice and chilly weather!

Heading to drop the Girls off for their cruise and then going to work .... meetings, meetings, meetings!

Have a great day everyone!

 

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 5
Lord Emofresh SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Obsession For Men EDT

Truthfully, the Lord Emofresh cream doesn't have strong menthol, but it's still adequate for a Menthol Monday Shave. The scent is delightful, the lather is so rich and thick, and the skincare is excellent. The Osage Rub is something else - very few other aftershaves are that frigid!
