Prep - Hot Shower
Razor - Mongoose Satin B2

Brush - Rubberset 400 with WSP HMW
Lather - Soap Commander Confidence

Changed up the routine and went with a 2 pass shave this morning, ATG and XTG with some touch ups around my chin. No irritation but a couple of weepers on the the first bass. Not BBS but I sure scared that baby.

 

SOTD 22 JANUARY 2015

Semogue 1305 brush
Pleese Amcor razor with IDF handle
Q-Ball blade
MEM OLIVE shaving cream
Floid Genuine aftershave

Did a quick 2 passes today. The Semogue has a little bit more backbone than the Omega 48 which I love to use, but you get used to it. The Mem Olive cream generated lots of lather and everything went as it should go, no big surprises here. Pretty sweet shave!

22 Jan 2015
Soap - MWF
Brush - Vulfix 660S Medium
Razor - Merkur 34C
Blade - Astra SP (3)
AS - The VEG
DFS overall. I have said before and will say again, MWF is my #1 soap right now. Loads of great later, super slick and great post feel. Topping off with the VEG hit the spot. I have certainly noticed since I decanted the veg in glass, that the longer it is in that glass the better it gets. Again the clause of personal preference is most certainly the case when speaking of the VEG.

 

1/22/2015

Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Cobra, Dubl Duck Goldedge straight razor
Blade: Feather Professional Light (6)
Brush: Turkish #6
Soap: Cella
After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave
Cologne: MFK - Oud

A fine 2 pass shave this morning. The #6 whipped up the Cella really thick and rich this morning. The Duck and the Cobra did their job admirably. The Feather Pro Light blade is still going strong. The AV brought the chill and the Oud will have me smelling great all day long. All in all it was another Darn Fine Shave +.

Have a blessed day!!
