    Dove Men's Face Wash
    TABAC Shaving Soap
    VDH Natural Boar
    Gillette 20s Old Type
    Wilkinson Sword Stainless
    CWR
    Thayers Cucumber WH
    Pinaud Clubman AS

    The TABAC face-lathered very easily with my customized VDH Natural Badger brush. Two passes with my Gillette 20s Old Type and Wilkinson Sword Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Evening Shave...

    Pre: Hot water
    Razor: Merkur 23C
    Blade: Perma Sharp
    Brush: VDH Boar
    Cream: TOBS St. James
    After: Pinaud Clubman

    A good shave with a blade I've only tried once before. I caught a nick on the chin, but that was admittedly my fault. I was flying to close to the sun by repeating a dry spot 3 times when I lost all slickness and got bit. Otherwise a DFS for sure

    Labor Day Shave
    Hot Shower with whisker rinse
    At sink a follow up 2 min whisker rinse
    A good lather with Williams Mug Soap and left it while I brushed my teeth...Then rinsed it off with steamy hot water.
    Then Re-lathered with Williams Mug Soap/Omega 10029 Baby Pro
    1955 Eversharp Schick Hydro-magic
    EMS/Personna D2
    Witch hazel/Vaseline Intensive Rescue lotion
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue/Pinaud Clubman/Aqua Velva Musk

    Sounds like an aftershave over load, but it wasn't...The AV Ice Blue was for the freeze...the Clubman for the smooth feel it leaves and the AV Musk for the scent...my wife digs.....an hour later all I can smell is a little musk and Clubman if I bury my nose on my arm...};^-)

    Being as "She Who Must be Obeyed" has another appointment on Tuesday Morning, for physical therapy. I have already showered and shaved tonight before I get ready to go to bed tonight. I decided to try my Above the Tie Atlas R-1 88mm Kronos Handle tonight, I again used the WTG-XTG-ATG method. Being as it has worked well and produces a great DFS Shave. I did get another BBS Shave tonight. Also I did get a BBS Shave again and I did not have any "Nick's or Weeper's" using this method. Also I did another "Ice Cold Water Shave" it was another superb shave, with BBS results. I used to hate to shave with "Cold Water" but using "Cold Water" is almost like learning a new superlative way to produce Superb results. I will continue using my Wilkinson Sword DE Blades. I did put in a New Razor Blade tonight. I decided to make another pass with my Above The Tie Atlas R-1 88mm Kronos Handle I did 3 passes total this evening. I did get a "Rudy Castiel Clean Used Car" aka "Rudy Castiel Clean Shave" aka BBS Shave! Tonight I again felt a little Razor Burn on my lower neck area, so I did use some RazoRock Alum Block. Tomorrow in the morning I will also put on some more Nivea Aftershave Balm, before the Captain's Choice Cat O' Nine Tails A/S splash. In the morning I might use "Captain's Choice Lime" A/S. Being as "She Who Must be Obeyed" enjoys the scent of it. I think I will let "She Who Must be Obeyed" decide which A/S.
    Maybe I should try the Thirty day rule.
    Sorry I have not posted lately but have sort of been in a Funk Mood here the past couple of weeks since my Aunt Died. I now have no living relatives on my Mothers side of the family. I have 4 cousins and their family's but the only time I ever heard from them was when they wanted something, on my Father's side they are even worse. They are even worse, they would just as soon cheat you out of your last dime as talk to you.
    So here's to my Aunt Edna, As Frank Sinatra would say 3 fingers of Wild Turkey 101 over 4 ice cubes, and a splash of water. That's the nectar of the gods baby. Only he said of Jack, meaning Jack Daniels. So what so I miss quoted him.

    This week is going to be quite hot here in Montreal so I'll be needing all the menthol cooling I could get and this selection was perfect. The Frost_byte soap is such an easy latherer and its menthol power hits you right away. The skincare is pretty good also, and the scent has really grown on me. The 444 balm gave me its own icy blast and the Rubby Dubby Doo turned my face into a sheet of ice. What a great shave this was! ;) :D

    SOTD September 2

    Prep: hot shower, cold water shave
    Razor: Slim Twist
    Blade: Treet Black (day 3)
    Brush: Vie-Long
    Soap: Col. Conk Lime
    Passes: 2 (WTG, XTG)
    Post: Arko Ice Mint

    No shave yesterday so two days of growth to deal with...

    I don't use the Col Conk soap much, I find it too drying and lacking in the scent department. It is still a good soap though, and I was really hopeful when used with cold water would provide a nice, cool, refreshing lather. U should probably stop setting such lofty goals so early in the morning. The lather was nice, but not as cool as I would have liked. The cold water didn't help with the scent either...

    Still a good lather! Combined with the Slim Twist and Treet Black, I got a two pass DFS. Still not enjoying this pairing so I retired the Treet Black.

    Finished with Arko Ice Mint. I need to get some more of this stuff.

    New soap today! And new mug! I was excited to get started on the shave this morning. It’s going to be a long but I’m sure interesting day as I’ll be at a local college’s freshman day from 10-6 manning a booth. Fun right?...
