SoS: September 15, 2014 - September 21, 2014

Friday
Brush: e-shave
Razor: Gillette FB (f1) 1960 (5)
Blade: Feather (1)
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Maca Root
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Jack Black gel, vintage Avon Trazarra AS


I was actually in a rush today and dialed my FB down to 5 so could go fast. I picked the Meca Root for the same reason. Surprise! A nice acceptable shave in 2 passes WTG XTG and then 1 pass ATG on my neck. Splash of WH cleanup Jack Black gel and a face full of Trazarra and I'm off! Wow, I got there almost before I left!

 

Thanks Kevin! As far as the final'e....plus merveilleux parfum. exceptionnel! Kevin, I know you are a closet Veggie!

 

Have to agree with you! Not an inexpensive product, but sometimes you DO get what you pay for. What is the scent?

Cool Shower
Schick Injector I-2
Schick Blade
Simpson Commodore X-3
Synergy Shave Soap - Gondolier
Alum Stick
Witch Hazel+
Gold Bond Body Lotion
Pinaud Clubman Duet



Have at it today!

 

It's the soft menthol.

 

Mark, what do you think about the cooling effect of the Gold Bond Body Lotion as an after shave balm?

 

Bruce,
It's pretty cool and a great skin moisturizer. It works good and is inexpensive compared to most aftershave balms. We use a lot of body lotion and hand cream since we're outside every day.

 

My feelings exactly. Really great stuff! It's not greasy and it really stays on for a long time as well.

 

Hey, ho - ici on parle anglais! (Hey, we speak English here!)

 

Yes Jeff but, since the Veg is made with French Lilacs, I was speaking in the parlance of the country of origin; parle France'.

 

Dove Men's Face Wash
TABAC Shave Soap
Semogue 1305 Boar Brush
Schick I1
NOS Gillette Platinum Plus
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Pinaud Clubman AS

The TABAC Shave Soap face-lathered very easily with my Semogue 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes with my Schick I1 and Gillette Platinum Plus 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...

 

Yeah. I try to make a point to use the other stuff in the cabinet, but I am definitely a stirling junkie.

I think you'll really like the Ozark Mountain. In body soap he calls it Pig Trail. It is a great scent. I need to get some more. Its a very masculine scent as my wife would say. I am still waiting to try my Lemon Chill Body soap and Shave soap. Not enough containers to hold my unopened soaps.

I'm going to see if Rod will make me some Glacial Sharp Dressed Man.

I'm dying for a Glacial Lavender soap. What a combination - lavender with that powerful menthol.


While I know he is pretty busy right now, Rod is pretty accommodating. Maybe somebody should ask him.

 

French Lilacs = Oui Oui (In English Wee Wee)

 

I will email Rod Monday and see what he says. I will make a post of it.

 

No shave today. Taking the night off.

Good night all.

 

I think Gary is on to something here……
le parfum de Vegetal = le parfum de Wee-Wee
Très bon!

Very nice brush! How do you like the Feather AS-D2?

 

Great choice of words Gary!
