December 18's Nivea Men's Face Wash Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap Frank Shaving Finest Badger brush Merkur 37c Slant Feather Hi-Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Vegetal The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Frank Shaving Finest Badger brush. Two passes with my Merkur 37c Slant and Feather Hi-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 Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Cant wait to try them out tomorrow morning and hopefully I paired the Kon Tiki with the Herrera AS Balm as my sniffer is giving me issues again effecting my smell and taste buds.
THURZDAY Evening shave A great shave with the Big Red Imp until I got distracted and managed to nick my cheek with the deadly tip of this big 'ol blade. I've been using square tips on most of the razors I've used these past several weeks, but this one always seems to get me! Oh well... another war wound to heal. All & all though, a very nice shave despite the mental lapse. Have a great, error-free Thursday all!
Thursday! Music: radio playing Christmas songs Prep: hot shower, hot washing cloth Brush: VieLong horse Soap: Tabac Razor: birth year & quarter Gillette Slim @ 4 & 6 Blade: vintage Gillette Blue #12 Shave: 3-pass + touch-up Post: cold water rinse, restrop blade in Allegro Mod.L Pleasant DFS. The Tabac lathered up great as usual and the VieLong horse is always a joy to use. I was enjoying the shave so much I forgot to dial the Slim up to 5 for the second pass. So the third pass went straight to 6. Have a great day ya'll!

Thursday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/7 AM day 3 Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Dolce & Gabbana EdT Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/7 AM day 3 Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Dolce & Gabbana EdT I started a new Glacial Wintergreen soap this morning because I couldn't hold out any longer and I had to have a nice, super-frigid shave - in fact it was my first real shave like that all week. This new soap exploded with awesome lather as soon as my brush made contact with my face, and the menthol froze me so intensely. Two passes were all that was necessary to clean me up the way I wanted. The matching witch hazel felt so wonderful - it gave me another ultra-potent menthol dosage which I enjoyed so much.

Simple thing are sometimes the best I chose the simple pleasure of B&M Latha today to symbolize the uncomplicated love I share with my wife on our anniversary. Everything worked well and complimented each other very nicely. My fourth shave on this Voskhod blade was as nice as the first. I'll go for five tomorrow.
