Soapy Bathman - Amaretto on the Rocks Shave Soap / Omega 11126 / Fearther / Skat AS / Gillette SuperSpeed Z1 (1954)

 

Thanks...but old habits die hard... Will give it a try anyway. I think you are probably right.

 

I use to shave/shower before I started wetshaving, since I've been wetshaving shower/shave my shaves, face has thanked me.

 

I use an iPhone to take the picture and give a big border around the pic so I can edit it down to a correct size. On my iPhone I have to save my post and then edit the post to add the picture, not sure why. I log straight into this site and the pictures come straight from my phone. Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear that (you nicked yourself again) I find that if I use a good pre-shave oil I do not nick myself. Also after 4 or 5 shaves with the blade I find I nick myself pretty bad some times. Try changing your blade every day or every other day. Might help and as @Jayaruh says it does get better.

Soap: The Shave Den- Coconut
Mug: Soak my brush in the Old Spice coffee mug for about a minute.
A/S: The Shave Den- Coconut
Another excellent combination of Razor, Blade, Brush, Soap, and A/S. Had a great shave this evening. One of the main reasons is the THD soap. It is good to see @Sara-s understands the proper depth for of the container to allow DE shavers to mix a outstanding lather and not have soap all over the counter. Big thank you to @Sara-s. . The soap mixed into a fantastic lather with a great coconut smell. The Shave Den A/S finish was perfect.

 

Great combination of tools.

 

Thank you! Speick makes wonderful products

 

Great looking brush.

 

Good year 1947.

 

Sunday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 7
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

Man oh man, I know someone who's going to have a frozen face after he gets done shaving and that someone is little old ME. The Glacial Wintergreen soap is a puck from last year's production, but it still smells awesome with great lather and a menthol sensation which can make a penguin want to move to Miami. The matching balm and witch hazel are the two coldest products that I ever used after a shave - damn, are they ever frigid and soothing. My Derby blade is tired, but I'm hoping it'll hang in there for this last time.

 

Your making me cold!

 

Try this set-up and you'll need a space heater and if you ever shower with the Glacial Wintergreen bath soap, you'll need long johns!
