30 Day Rule - July 2015
July 8th
Razor - CJB/Gillette New LC
Blade - (3 2/3)
Brush - Omega Pro 48
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post - Cold Water splash, Alum, Nivea Original Post Shave Balm

Slept in this morning, a bit too long. It's my late in day so I took advantage. Only about 18 hours since my last shave. Not the usual work needed to shave and I'm short on time so the CJB stayed put this morning and I used the New LC and Voskhod. Great shave as both the razor and blade are excellent. The Fat worked great and overall it was a great 3 pass shave to a very nice DFS. The areas that I sliced and diced are all pretty much healed so the return of the CJB after its day off should be smooth tomorrow. Or smoother anyway. It's Wednesday so we're halfway home this week. Also I can't believe we're in the second week of July. I have lots of cars to sell before the 31st!

Astra SP (3)
Simpsons Colonel
Pacific Shaving Co. Caffeinated cream

The best part of this shave was the soundtrack. I am not a fan of this cream at all but the balm mixed with the witch hazel was today's saving grace.

Personna blade

I really really like my FS Finest brush. I think I could use it every day but what fun would that be? BTW, great shave

Hi Friends,

Have a blessed time and take care.

Prep: Shower
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (1)
Brush: Omega 80080
Lather: Proraso White Shave Soap

Odin's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger
Soap: RazoRock One-X croap
Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
Blade: Bic (5)
Passes: WTG (12)
Post: Cold water splash, Dickinson's WH, Myrsol Metilsol AS splash
Cologne: Velvet Mood (sample)

After 2+ days without shaving while waiting for a plumber that has never come, enough was enough. I knew I didn't have many passes left in the Bic, but I got in a one-pass, SAS that makes me look at least presentable, relatively speaking. Lather was good, and I could see the bottom of the container; good thing I have 3 more jars of the wonderful One-X.

 

7/8/2015 Wool Fat Wednesday!

Razor: Cobra Classic, Friodur Inox straight razor
Blade: Feather Professional (5)
Brush: Turkish #6
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
After: Home made ASB, Nivea after shave balm
Cologne: Aqua H2O

It is Wool Fat Wednesday! The #6 brush did a great job whipping up the MWF into a super lather this morning. The Cobra and Friodur did their jobs well. The Nivea ASB and the Aqua H2O were a nice finish to this Darn Fine Shave.

Have a blessed day!
