Schick E2 Injector with Schick blade (10)
Semogue 1305 boar bristle brush,
Arko shaving soap with hot water lather,
finish with cold water rinse for a CCS!

 

The only soaps now in my rotation are:
MWF

I admit that I have totally fallen for the french soaps.

 

We'll make a snooty soap snob out of you in on time! You're on your way! Mon dieu!

 

Does that mean that I have to talk like Maurice Chevalier from now on?

I used this method WTG-XTG-ATG this morning. Today I did almost every thing the same. I made 2 passes this morning. Had no Nick's and or Weeper's ! I used my RazoRock Ultimate Alum no razor burn or "Nicks or Weepers". I just like the way the Alum cool's my face after I shave and before I slap on my A/S. I had an excellent "DFS" I did get a Rudy Castiel Clean Shave !

Well, this is my first contribution to the SOTD thread, in honor of that I cracked open a new bottle of clubman and used my $1.00 Gillette Slim from my local thrift store.

Soap: Sara-S
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Omega PRO 48
Post: Pinaud Clubman

No alum block today, shave was so smooth and effortless. Did not feel it was necessary. You read that correct, my Slim was only $1.00, he was considering throwing it away because it was so dirty. Cleaned up nice, user grade, but shaves like no other.

I have a mug loaded with Van Der Williams Mixture aka Patrick's Blend. Don't get me wrong I like it but it reminds me too much of Ivory Soap. (tastes like it tooooo!) Don't Ask!!
I have to stay away from. I sort of like to use it when I go visit my Aunt Edna (Aunt Mucho Bucks) She's 97 going on 98. She likes the Captain's Choice Cat O' Nine Tails after shave. Say's it reminds her of Sunday Dinner. I guess the Clove scent?

Ralph, from Knockoutshave, sent me a sample of one of the soaps they carry. This soap has the most cushion out of any of the soaps I've used. It left my skin feeling amazing. Support one of my local places, try this stuff out!

 

I take it is hard and not malleable? I am going to purchase the unscented but the bar shape kinda irks me .

 

sorry to hear about your battery issues. New one should be good for a couple years.
do they have their own store in the Tampa mall, or is it sold in another store?
I have two daughters in Tampa. they could pick it up for me.

 

I love Ivory soap. I use it every day.
