  7. Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - Midnight Shave

    Prep :: Luke warm water wetdown & Glycerin
    Razor :: Progress /w BRW Handle
    Blade :: Volskhod
    Soap :: MWF
    Brush :: Rudy Vey Silvertip
    Post :: Alum, Cold water rinse, WH + Rosewater
    AS :: Lucky Tiger

    I've really become fond of rosewater. My skin gets dry after a shave and the RW really makes a difference for me. I just ordered some Bulgarian RW in a 500ml bottle at a great price.

    Have a great day, folks.

  8. Only My take on it is the Schick shave 1,000% hipper than the M3....:happy108:

  11. Happy Humpday! 2-22-2012

    Hot shower
    Merkur HD 34C w/ Wilki (1)
    Kent VS30
    Proraso pre (green tea w/ aloe)
    Proraso soap (green)

    Another 3 pass (WWX) DFS - thats 3 in a row for me, and that's a first! First run with a Wilkinson Sword blade went well, not super smooth, but it did the job. I'm really starting to like the Kent brush - it's really scraggly looking, but it works really well. I guess looks can be deceiving.

    I've been using the Proraso pre-shave as a post as well, it's awesome!

    Enjoy the day!! :D

    Between the Gada Cool Mint cream and the Osage Rub, I think my face will need a whole day to thaw out, because both of these items are ultra-frigid. I'm really loving these Wilkinson Sword blades - I never realized that they give such great shaves with such comfort. ;) :D

    Gillette Flare Tip SS
    Feather Blade (New)
    Simpsons Berkeley
    Cella
    Cold Water Rinse

    So today I decided to finally rip open the stuff I haven't had a chance to play with since I haven't been home since Christmas. I loaded a new feather into the Gillette that I freshly cleaned with scrubbing bubbles - glad I did, taking a peek at the blade angle it looked like an extremely mild razor and it was an accurate assumption. Gave up face lathering this morning to use my vintage Old Spice mug and the new Simpsons brush. Flawless shave that just felt perfect to me in every way. I'm enjoying the Gillette more than any other razor I've used so far, even though its mild it still mows through stubble as it did when it was made almost 50 years ago. Unfortunately for my wife I'm now dead set on more vintage Gillette's...and Simpsons brushes LOL.

    Was feeling lazy and have been wanting to try the Barbasol routine with my straight for some time and today seemed like the day to do it. It might not be as exciting or luxurious as a soap and brush but the results are just as good. I've got no complaints from today's shave.
