I will definitely report findings. No, I am not a pipe or cigar smoker; just really like the scent of pipe tobacco.

 

How do you like he Fendrihan DE?

 

It's an all body moisturizing lotion. Excellent stuff.

Razor – Gillette Red & Black New Deluxe
Blade – Feather (2)
Brush – Rubberset 400-3 with WSP HMW
Lather – TSD Signature
Post - Witch Hazel and Captain’s Choice Bay Rum



I am enjoying the R&B New Deluxe because I get consistently great to fantastic shaves with this razor/blade combo. Another near BBS 3 pass shave this morning. I used the TSD Signature lanolin soap and found it easy to lather and very slick. Finished up with a splash of CC Bay Rum. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Frey's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
Soap: Stirling Glacial Obsidian
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
Blade: Bolzano (2)
Passes: WTG, XTG (3, 4)
Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, Pinaud Clubman AS splash
Cologne: Le 3e Homme de Caron by Caron

Migraines coupled with depression make it tough to find the will to shave, particularly when the noise from the shower is too much. Back at it again today, though, attempting once again to get good lather from the Glacial Obsidian. I don't know; perhaps my expectations for 'good lather' are simply unreasonable, given what other folks have posted from time to time for lather pictures. In any event, extra time loading and extra time face-lathering produced acceptable lather, at best, for two passes. The Bolzano rounded into shape well, and those two passes got me DFS results. This was fortunate, because I decided not to go back to the puck to load enough product to get a 3rd pass in.

 

Friday's Shave

Prep: Hot shower w/ Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap
Lather: Kiss My Face Lavender
Brush: Omega 13522
Razor: '46 - '50 Gillette Tech
Blade: Gillette Rubie
Post: Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Balm
Scent: Tommy Bahama Very Cool

I'm digging the Rubies in the Tech. Decent shave every time I've used that combo. Busy week and most of it was 1 pass with the Injector to get me out the door. Got a box of goodies yesterday from a friend that I converted recently with some stuff to try so that'll be coming up over the next week I hope.
