    Dove Men Face Wash
    Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave
    Jayaruh WC1 STB
    Gillette Black Tip SS
    Rapira Platinum Lux
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    FD Old Spice AS

    The Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes with my Gillette Black Tip SS razor and a Rapira Platinum Lux 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...

    GDCarrington Burma Shave

    To me it does since the heads and weight are pretty much the same. There are really only cosmetic differences between the two.

    did you try letting it soak in soapy water to get rid of the bad scent?

    Nah, I'll just let it get rid of the scent through normal use.
    Gives me something to complain about for a few days.

    This combination makes for a luxurious shave and I plan to take the exta time to enjoy it. I'm planning on breaking open the L'Occitane Lavender bar soap for the pre shave shower to make this a lavender Wednesday.

    Myrsol is Spanish so it's "Agua" not "Aqua".
    I do the same mistake myself :)

    Day 3 of 3 with Wilkinson blade. This month I am using an Arko stick and a badger brush.

    Hot washcloth
    Arko on the face
    Simple Escali badger brush
    Weishi long handle
    WTG, XTG
    witch hazel

    • Each day different areas are very smooth or have stubble. It must be technique, not the blade.
    • The Wilkinson always gives a CCS.
    • It is more difficult to whip up a lather with the Arko than with the Nivea shave gel, which is to be expected.
    • The Arko smells like the dipped tallow candles at the Yankee Candle demonstration. Some people like the smell. I do not particularly. Just opinions.
