SOTD - Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Hot shower Prep: Homemade PSO Brush: Simpsons Duke 3 Soap: WSP Rustic Mahogany Razor: Merkur 38C Blade: Super-Max Ti (5) Post: Thayer's Cucumber WH Aftershave: Clubman SR - Don
Thanks for noting Fine Platinum's ability to play well with citrus. I've tried this AS with a few different things (including citrus) and needed some encouragement.
Thursday's action will be as follows: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 3 Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS Anherb AS Conditioner Osage Rub AS Pour Un Homme de Caron EdT Ohhhhhh, Cracky Wacky Ticky Tacky Jeff is going to freeze, and I mean FREEZE his pretty little face off tomorrow morning and he's going to have so much fun while doing so. Anyone who's tried that Neutrogena facial wash knows it's quite chilly, but the two main features of this shave are the Glacial Obsidian soap which becomes so cold on contact, and the menthol effect feels almost painful during the second lathering. The Anherb conditioner goes on really icy with plenty of moisturizing and soothing, while the Rubby Dubby Doo puts that final bone-chilling punch into the skin. A most enjoyable shave is on tap for Thursday morning!

Thursday's Nivea Men's Face Wash C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream Wild Cherry STB My Dad's Schick E3 Schick Platinum Plus CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Barbasol AS Today's shave is with with my Dad's Schick E3. At some point, he replaced the handle with a wooden handle that he made. The next seven shaves will be with this 60+ year old razor. The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Wild Cherry Silver Tip Brush. Two passes with my Schick E3 and Schick Platinum Plus Injector 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 Barbasol after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
The Wednesday Shave Prep: Warm shower, Anthony Logistics Glycolic Face Wash Lather: Barrister & Mann Ferox Brush: Simpson Duke 3 Best Badger Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89BA11 Blade: Astra Superior Platinum - #2 Post: Cold Rinse, Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer I find that the Jagger/Astra combo works really well for me, the Jagger and other blade combinations are noticeably less pleasant. Overall a solid shave today.

Jabonman Rosas :: Kent T5 :: ASR "1914" Ever-Ready :: GEM by Persona :: Myrsol Plastic Shave My first shave with this Ever-Ready razor and the only thing I can say is that it was fantastic. It shaves better than my R41.
Ferox + Gondolier = amazing I used my other favorite citrus today - B&M Ferox. I love the peppery grapefruit scent and optimal post shave feel. Gondolier is an excellent compliment, leaving me smelling great. Der Vorschlaghammer comfortably cleared my stubble with almost no effort.
