    Pre: Nivea men's face wash
    Razor: Superspeed
    Blade: Dorco(3)
    Lather: Neutrogena sensitive cream
    Brush: VDH
    Post: C&E sandlewood balm

    I think I'm finally figuring this shaving thing out... Only two nicks and no irritation today. Good brush, less water, good lather, and don't go over any spot without reapplying a bit more lather and all will be good. Also, the sandalwood was a nice light scent and absorbed quick with no oily residue.

    Wednesday's Planned Shave
    ZCOLDWATER1.jpg

    Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap
    Jayaruh CH2 Pure Badger
    GEM 1912
    GEM Super Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    This is a hospital shave this morning. The wife had a total knee replacement, so I stayed the night. I have brought along some things for a shave away from home. Among them is my new Cholula Pure Badger brush. The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh CH2 Pure Badger Travel Brush. Two passes with my GEM 1912 SE razor and a GEM Super 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 Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Face Wash, Organic Jojoba oil as a pre-shave
    Brush: Vie-Long Lord Randal Mixed Knot (with a tip of the hat again to @Troy M for the brush!)
    Soap: Haslinger Honig Rasierseife
    Razor: Standard Razor
    Blade: Feather Stainless (started), then switched to a Gillette Silver Blue
    Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG
    Post: Cold water splash, Gentleman Jon Alum, and a styptic pencil for my error with the Feather blade
    Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud

    Feather blades are not for me. I have tried numerous times to see if I could use them successfully to shave my head, but they always seem too harsh. They seem fine for shaving my cheek line and neck line, but I seem to always nick myself on my scalp with a Feather. So... no more. :)

    I have the same issue with them. For me they only work well in my 66 Superspeed Flair Tip.
