SoS: March 23, 2015 - March 29, 2015

I enjoyed my shave with the Gada Cool Mint cream very much. This stuff is not only very cooling, its skincare is fantastic.

 

Comeback Wednesday
After yesterday's poor shave I was looking forward to improvement. I only did one pass on my neck, and that helped a great deal. Ferox is one of my favorite soaps both because of the scent and skin care. The earthy peppery grapefruit is a delicious pleasure for my nose, while the tea tree lanolin and other ingredients treat my face to smooth clear skin with no redness or irritation. My New LC is my favorite open comb so far as it rarely bites and is efficient enough for a long lasting shave. Gondolier is a classy cologne type scent. I used both the splash and balm today for the extra care my neck needed. Both are excellent products.

Prep: Kiehl's face wash
Soap: B&M Ferox
Brush: HIS lather monster
Razor: Gillette New LC
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
AS: HTGAM/PAA Gondolier splash and balm

old spice after shave
today's shave was nice. the old Ever-Ready ain't pretty, ain't the softest, but I like it. used the modified endurance, I'm pretty happy with it. it smelled of old spice to me. three passes with the fatboy. very nice shave. finished with old spice after shave.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

"Good" for me is relative. The problem is a combination of me and the Fatboy. I still have issues with the adjustable razors. Plus, I'm new to face lathering, so I didn't get the usual rich lather I do with C.O.B.

Youll see with today's post thar I had a rather nice shave. And, may I add, thanks for noticing. I can't believe anyone pays that much attention to these posts. I usually just look at the pretty pictures and covet my neighbors razors and brushes.

 

Wednesday, March 25, 2015 - Wintergreen Wednesday (A new thing, maybe?)
Whipped Dog Synthetic
Nivea Sensitive Cream + 4 drops glycerine + 3 drops wintergreen
Gillette Aristocrat w/Voskhod (1)
Cold water rinse, Sterling Glacial Wintergreen Splash, Lab Series Razor Burn Ultra Relief

Nice shave. The Aristocrat and the Voskhod pair very nicely together. The glycerine made all the difference with the Nivea. Today's lather rivaled any other I've whipped up in thickness, protection, and glide.

I'm seeing the bottom of the Windsor puck. Nice shave, have a good one.

 

I leave my adjustable on one number (7) and forget it. Yes! Nice shave today! I enjoy reading what everyone writes, it's part learning and therapy

me too

 

Is the R-1 head mild? I'm thinking about adding another ATT head to my den, have the S1. Thanks.

 

This brush was re-knotted by @MoAllen and I received it from a PIF. I see the Burma-Shave brush in a couple of our old drugstores in town for around $5

 

I have been using a Fatboy off and on for about 2 years now. I have never gotten the shave from a Fatboy that I can always get from a Slim Adjustable.

And, yes, some people do read these posts.

Odin's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
Soap: Ginger's Garden Grass Stain Menthol Snow
Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (2)
Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (4, 5, 6)
Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, Pinaud Clubman AS splash
Cologne: Velvet Mood (sample)

I'm required to attend an awards function tonight, so skipping yesterday's shave was to enable today's to get that little bit closer and smoother. It worked, as between the good lather, the smooth Bic, and the mild 41C, I got 3 comfortable passes in for a DFS+ shave that left me with no weepers or irritation. The Velvet Mood + Pinaud Clubman combo should be both pleasant and inoffensive enough by the time the awards function rolls around.

 

WEDNESDAY
Spike n' Fat morning—with wonderfully-smooth results!
Have a great Hump day, all!
