    Tyr's Day:

    Prep: Hot shower, Healthy Accents Daily Renewal cleanser, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
    Cream: Godrej Lemon/Lime Fresh
    Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
    Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (1)
    Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG (1, 2, 3)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Dickinson's WH, Aveeno Active Naturals ASB
    Cologne: Burberry Brit by Burberry

    I didn't shave yesterday due to the amount of razor burn I was dealing with from the Baili; it will be a while before I revisit those blades. It had been a little while since I last reached for the Godrej, so I lathered up an almond-sized dollop in a bowl, taking extra time to get it thick enough since I was trying another new blade today. Lather was probably as good as I've ever gotten the Godrej, which probably contributed to the positive experience with the Perma-Sharp. These blades appear to have a good reputation over at B&B; I know this one certainly outperformed the Baili, but that's rather faint praise. Three passes, BBS results, some minor irritation by the corners of my mouth but no weepers or nicks.

    I see what you did there, Bruce. Arko AND The Veg? I believe if I tried that here, CAL OSHA would cite me for violating some standard regarding exposure of toxic substances in a public workplace. :D:eek:

    SoS - Tuesday, June 17, 2014

    Hot shower
    Prep: Lime & Tea Tree PSO
    Brush: Simpson Duke 3 in best badger
    Soap: Classic Brand Premium Citrus Basil
    Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89L
    Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (4)
    Post: Thayer's Cucumber WH
    Aftershave: CVS Old Spice knock off

    While the Classic Brand soap never seems to get any love on this site, I find that I get great lather whenever I drag it out and blow the dust off. The scent is fairly weak, but it performs well for me. Three passes plus touch up, no nicks, weepers, or irritation. A DFS all around today.

    - Don

    Patrick, I hope that both your wife's surgery and recovery go well.

    Same great adjustability as the Fat Boy but a flatter head on the Black Beauty. I think that helps. :)

    Noxzema Classic Clean
    Cella Crema da Barba
    Semogue 1305 Boar Brush
    Gillette Fatboy F2
    Derby Extra (5)
    CWR
    Thayers Cucumber WH
    Mennen SB AS

    It was a very nice shave today. I was back to face lathering with my Semogue 1305 boar brush. It was such a pleasure to face lather the Cella Shaving Cream with it. I turned up the Gillette fatboy to 6. It was the fifth shave with the Derby Extra, and it was smooth and clean. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Cucumber WH and Mennen Skin Bracer after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    No menthol feeling but it's very nicely-scented with a good feeling on the skin. A Canadian classic. :)
