SoS: October 1st, 2012 - October 7th, 2012

Been there, done that! Dropped my favorite bowl in the sink and cracked it a while back. I guess that's what's known as a bowl movement.

 

Gary man that razor is a beauty. Care to share some history on it? I've had no luck thus far.

 

It is a loaned razor. It will be going back to its owner at the end of this week. All the "history" that I have had with it is a weeks worth of shaves.

 

Oh well that's cool too. Did you enjoy its use?

 

Yes. It was an interesting razor.

 

• Prep PSC
• Tabac SC
• Muhle Synthetic Brush
• Gillette "Super Click" plastic razor
• Gillette Thin blade (1st shave)
• Osage Rub
• GFT Skin Food ASG - Sandalwood
• GFT ASL - Spanish Leather

Good day all! I am now on a few days off in the lovely Kingdom of Thailand. I know it is OC week but yesterday while I was in the TESCO department store I spotted this Gillette razor. It cost all of 22 Baht (US $0.72) and even came with a blade!! Okay... I just couldn't pass that that up. How was the shave? Pretty darn good! It is a fun little razor which is easy to use yet can provide a nice BBS shave. Cool! I may buy a bunch for future TSD giveaways. I think the razor may be the same as the Lord Click. I will know for sure next week because I have a Lord click on the way from Shoe Box Shave Shop. I will be more than ready for "Cheap Week", LOL!!

Cheers, Lyndon

Had a great shave with the Williams finishing with a nice BBS! I think the slickness of Williams really helps me achieve BBS. Enjoy your shaves today!

My good friend Brian (madmedic) sent me this Nanny's Ice & a Slice soap, and it is fabulous. I love the scent, the lather is a pleasure to work with, and it has a POWERFUL menthol effect. This morning's shave was so smooth and enjoyable, and already, I can't wait to do it again tomorrow!

 

Shave of the Day (SOTD) Friday October 5, 2012

Prep: Brush soaking in cold water, face wash with Noxzema Triple Clean, tepid shower
Razor: Cadet TP-26 Open Comb
Blade: Vokshod Teflon Coated (2)
Brush: Semogue SOC Cherrywood Boar
Cream: Mystic Men Menthol
AS: Brut Attitude
Post: Cold Water Rinse, Double Splash Of Aftershave

The Vokshod preformed so well in the FaTip that I wanted to try it in my favorite open comb, the Cadet. I have not used the Mystic Men in a while just because after using the Lea Menthol the Mystic Men feels like it has no menthol. It is still a great cream for an outstanding price.

The Semogue SOC boar whipped up so much lather in less than a minute that I probably had enough lather for five passes.

Two passes and minor touch-ups on each side of Adam's apple and I had a BWS (Brazilian Wax Smooth) face.

 

Friday:
soak brush/Thater 4292/6,2 band,fan/DB Original Scuttle
hot shower
Proraso PrePost cream
Mystic Water Coconut Shave Soap
Cadet TP-27 OC/Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (4)
warm water rinse
Monster Block Alum
warm water rinse

Another great face & head shave from the Cadet TP-27 OC/Black Ninja combo,now that I think about it I paid more for the blades than I did for this razor,money well spent.
