I like your Frankenrazor!

Oh geez, I hope so.

That razor looks like the little brother of the robot Gort from the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still"! I love it!

Thursday's


Nivea Men's Face Wash
Proraso Green
Wild Cherry PTS
Schick L-1
Personna Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva

The Proraso Green Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Wild Cherry PTS Brush. Two passes with my Schick L-1 and a new Personna Coated SS 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 Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Plan for 22 January 2015

[align=center][/align]​

I used the eshave one last week. I've mainly been using the synthetics, but it's fun to try out the badger again. I love the tight lush feel of this one, Gary.

Here's how I plan to shave Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Pour Un Homme de Caron EdT

Back to the deep freeze for me and I can't wait - any time I use my Glacial Lemon Chill soap I know I'm going to be treated like a king. The scent is brilliant - it's a perfect balance of intense menthol and fresh lemon, the lather is a pleasure to work with, and within seconds the powerful arctic-like effect hits like ten tons of icy bricks. Not that I want to sound so biased, but these Stirling soaps give me the BEST skincare of all soaps I tried in my entire life. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Penguin will also do a number on me! (Man oh man, it's going to be so much fun shaving!)

Hot shower with Yardley oatmeal and almond soap

Blade... rapira platinum lux
Razor... Gillette ball end tech
Brush... seafoam b&b essential boar
Soap.... tiki surfs up

Shavemac Finest
Gillette Aristocrat
TOBS Avocado
Astra Keramik

That's a nice mug, Charlie!

Day 18 - Thirty Days with Merkur 34c (Jan 1-Feb 4 [No shave on Saturdays]) BSG 1-21-2015

Hot Shower and Prep - Nivea Men Sensitive Skin Face Wash
Razor Merkur 34c
Blade Astra SP (6)
Brush - Plisson Synthetic
Lather - Proraso Green
Post - Warm water rinse, Maggard Razor Alum, wait 30 seconds then cool water rinse, Neutrogena Razor Defense Post Shave Lotion

Three passes but a poor shave. - Messed up on my second pass - forgot what direction I was supposed to go in. No irritation or nicks but not very close. Perhaps I had exceeded the efficiency of my blade. - But tomorrow is a new day

Jeff, do you face lather Stirling? I have a hard time on my first pass, the soap is really thick. So I bowl lathered and wow! The best lather I've had in ages.

How do you like the Pashana A/S and how long lasting is it?

I like it a lot, to me it is refined barbershop. It last along time, this is my second bottle and there is another in the wings. A few years ago there were some kind of import or licensing problem and i think it can only be bought outside of the USA. If I had to trow everything out except one this would stand. It does have long legs in the summer, it does a great gob of an aftershave and dries down great. Well i know what i am using in the morning after that speech, convinced myself.

I know of one vendor that will ship it to the US...hmm...
Thanks, it does sound interesting.
