SoS: August 3, 2015 - August 9, 2015

Well that makes total sense to me. I hope you have a great time with that! And it's awfully benevolent of you to be considering giving it away, though your one week experience could change that!

 

Razor: Gillette Executive (1960)(5)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: WDC-4, Silvertip Badger, Butterscotch. (VIG) 24/67
Cream: C.O. Bigelow 1838
Bowl: Old Spice Mug
A/S: Gillette Lotion

Got the cream mix tonight right on this evening. I really like the Gillette Executives weight and sturdy handle. It is an effortless shaving razor. It give a very close 3 pass shave.

 

SORRY FOR THE BREAK IN PROGRAMMING
NORMAL SERVICE HAS BEEN RESUMED

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Fat Handled Tech
Blade - Sputnik Platinum Chrome (#1)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko / Proraso Green / Glycerine
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS+

The last shave I had was probably the worst in my DE record and accordingly I've banished the Personna Platinum Chrome from the inventory.
Back with the Sputniks and wow......just wow! I could be accused of indifference to them the first time around, just trying to get through blades, but the first pass tonight was as good as some third passes. I'm so relieved to be back to my normal, extremely comfortable results.
Gotta love the Techs too !!!

 

Tuesday's Anniversary (42 years)


Dove Men Face Wash
Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
Jayaruh #2 Synthetic
Gem Jr Parade
Treet Super SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 Synthetic brush. One passes with my Gem Jr Parade razor and a Treet Super SE blade and some touch ups gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... We are leaving for Rome...

 

Congrats on 42!!!

 

Happy Anniversary!!!

 

Happy Anniversary!!

 

The scent is very mild, but man it's a nice soap. Easy to lather, slick, cheap! No frills packaging.

 

Happy Happy Anniversary!!

Ja, das ist richtig - morgen werde ich absolut kein Menthol benutzen. Nach meiner Meinung ist dieser Tabac Rasierstick einfach super-elegant und classy. Der Geruch ist so old-school und classy mit so viel Schaum der so reich und leicht zu schlagen ist sowie ausgezeichnete und sehr beruhigende Hautflege. Nach dieser Rasur ist das Tabac Aftershave auch prima!

Woops - a translation is necessary!

Yes, that's right - tomorrow I won't be using any menthol. In my opinion the Tabac shaving stick is simply super-elegant and classy. The scent is so old-school and classy with so much lather which is so rich and easy to whip up as well as excellent and very soothing skincare. After this shave the Tabac aftershave is also great!

 

Thanks, we are leaving for Rome in the morning and then on to Athens.
