    Country Club London Skies sample today. 20 seconds: load & go with the oscar11 brush. Great, easy, thick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette Silver Blue in the Slim. Nice smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver.

  5. I don't know about sitting strangely in the slim. That's what I use and haven't noticed anything like what you describe.

  11. Barbasol Floating Head Razor
    Gillette Silver Blue
    Semogue BC Mistura
    Institut Karite Soap
    Alum
    Tet-a-Tet ASB

    Most of my shaves are pretty good, but when I slow down and take my time, sometimes I get lucky with an exceptional shave. Today that was the case.

    The only unfortunate part of today is that my tube of Tet-a-Tet ASB is done.
  12. That's exactly what Cade adds to the mix - awesome lather. I find the lather produced by TOBS to be less than I want. Cade adds the slickness and cushioning that changes the TOBS Rose from good to great.

    Very nice shave this morning, actually I haven't been shaving daily but about every other day and all shaves have been superb. I'll be flying out this afternoon and should be home this evening. It's been an enjoyable trip but I'm a poor tourist. Have a good one.

    today's shave was strange, you get very used to your own bathroom. pur-tech face lathered Latoja well. fatboy got three passes nicely, although in a little tall for the mirror. finished with iced ice blue.
    there's no place like home.

    I roughed up my neck pretty good today. I think I was just going too fast with der Vorschlaghammer - the hubris of familiarity I suppose.
    Krampert’s Frostbite put out the fire nicely, especially when paired with HTGAM FrostByte lotion. I’ll have to take it easy tomorrow to let it heal.

    Prep: warm shower
    Soap: Seifenglatt Montpellier
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Black Badger Hybrid Handle
    Razor: Der Vorschlaghammer
    Blade: Voskhod (2)
    AS: Krampert’s Finest Frostbite, HTGAM FrostByte lotion
