    Saturday's
    ZCOLDWATER1.jpg

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Tabac
    Jayaruh #8 (first shave)
    Dad's Schick E2
    Personna Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    FD Old Spice

    The Tabac shave soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #8 badger brush. Two passes with my Dad's Schick E2 razor and a Personna 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 Rose Petal WH and then FD Old Spice after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Good luck with the Injector. If I was to try the 30 day I'd likely choose my schick.

    SOTD 5-1-15

    Razor: ATT H1 plate with Krono's handle
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
    Soap: Tiki Land Locked (tallow)
    Bowl: VDH
    Brush: Tweezerman
    Post: Gentleman Jon Alum block
    Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry, then apply the alum block

    Razor: As usual, no complaints! Liking the H! very much! Today was the 6th time using it and first for the Krono's handle which I also like..
    Blade: Second time with this blade and I am not sure it is as smooth as either one of my favs, the Platinum Lux or the Astra SP's but the sharpness is there! It worked fine but there are others that are better!
    Soap: First time with this soap and it is very nice stuff. Lathered easy and alot of it. Great slickness and protection! Post shave feel is also very good! No issues at all but I cannot quite pinpoint the scent!

    Comments: Shave was very good and close. I got a DFS easily but not quite a BBS. No nick or irritation based on the Aum block. Another very good shave with no issues!

    Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

    Thx.

    My latest formulated hot process shaving soap with the addition of a small amount of Bentonite clay.
    Cold water rinse between the 2 passes with a cold water wash to finish.
    Pat dry and marvel at why anyone uses a DE :)
