Excellent. This EJ/wave combo works really well for me, the Rapira Stainless are my least favorite of the Russian blades. WSP Barbershop. WOW! I picked up a bottle of Gold Bond yesterday after seeing Jeff using GB in his shave for a couple of years, I'm glad I got it! It's going to be a great addition to my routine. Thanks @crackstar
A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!

SOTD June 10

Prep: Shower, then hot facecloth followed by homemade pre-shave oil
Soap/cream: Lab Series Skincare for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream
Razor: Fendrihan long handle closed comb safety razor (DE)
Blade: Shark
Brush: None
Aftershave: Hot facecloth followed by Lavender Witch Hazel
Aftershave balm: Shea Butter

This morning I tried a new shave cream...Lab Series Skin Care for Men. This unscented shave cream has the consistency of a thick hand cream. It does not lather and is to be applied and rubbed directly on the face. It is a moisturizing cream and the razor seemed to respond well to the lubrication. One of the claims on the packaging is: "a patented formula system provides immediate relief of irritation and stinging". And I must admit my face feels very smooth and moisturized...no irritation. A bit pricey at $27...but I think this will likely end up in my travel bag just because it is convenient. The ingredients list is long and needs a biochemist to interpret. I will use this a few more times over the coming days and then post a more detailed review.
All totaled...a nice clean shave. Ready to take on the world!

 

Provence Sante provided a delightful lather today. 3 passes and very, very smooth

06/10/2015
Razor – Gillette Red & Black New Deluxe
Blade – Feather (3)
Brush – Rudy Vey with TGN Finest
Lather – B&M Latha
Post - Witch Hazel and Floid Amber Sample



I am really enjoying this week with the New Deluxe. Another fantastic 3 pass shave. This razor is very smooth but efficient. The B&M Latha is a very easy soap to use. The lather is super slick and provides more than enough protection. The post shave feel is actually very good as well. Truly a value. Finished off with witch hazel and a splash of Floid Amber from the sample pack.

 

I received a very pungent lavender scented soap both times Ive ordered from them.

The Jabonman soap samples mix is a spicy and earthy combo that is intoxicating. Im finding I'm drawn towards the earthy scents most days now.

Next to last day using this smiling-bladed razor—which has been challenging in adjusting my SR technique to get a decently smooth shave.
Love the IK cream lather!
Happy Humpday, all!

I love floral scents, but Mama Bear's Sandalwood Rose is my favorite floral scent that I have experienced. I have several of her samples and all of them lather great and have yielded the slickest lather for me. The slickness of her soaps exceeds even Stirling, TSD, TOBS, Proraso and CC shave creams. I've been extremely impressed with her soaps. YMMV.

Soap: Mama Bear's Sandalwood Rose (outstanding scent)

Razor: Muhle R-89 with new SI Blade

Post: Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel, CC Sandalwood, a dash of Aqua Velva and bit of Pinaud Musk behind my ears and on the back of my neck. I definitely should have stopped at the CC Sandalwood.

Cologne: Dolce Gabbana

 

Not quite sure about that razor! Sounds like something that would be used for artificial insemination!!
