SoS: August 17, 2015 - August 23, 2015

I would suggest going Pro Guard, then Feather Pro and then Feather Super Pro. The first time I used the Super Pro my face was tingly for a full 24 hours.

 

Marfin shaving brush. Arlington D.R.Harris shaving soap. Dagneau&King straight razor. Creed Millesime

 

Love the brush!

 

That's what I'll do. Thanks, Clint.

 

Fantastic brush. I admire your posts on Facebook as well.

 

Lovely brush!

 

SOTD 8-20-15 No pic.

PRESHAVE: Face wash with soap and warm/hot water
RAZOR: Matador Mastiff with a MR22 handle
BLADE: Astra SP (4)
SOAP: Arko stick
BOWL: VDH
BRUSH: Tweezerman badger
POST: Rinse with warm/hot water to get soap off and then some cold water rinses/splashes and pat try.

Comments: The Matador is a cheap head but works very good. It is pretty smooth and efficient as it takes the growth off easily. It is smooth and efficient enough that it only takes two passes plus a very little clean up. The Arko soap was very good as usual. It lathers easy and gave me a great slick protective shave and post feel is good too! This shave was very good today with my usual DFS shave! No irritation or weepers!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.

 

Friday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Cella
Jayaruh #17
Gem 1912
Treet Super SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Cella Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #17 boar brush. Two passes with my Gem 1912 razor and a Treet Super SE blade 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...

 

Thursday Afternoon Shave

Pre: Shower
Razor: Weishi
Blade: Voskhod
Soap: Tabac
Brush: Omega Beehive
Post: Clubman Special Reserve

A nice, mild shave on a (comparatively) cool day. I would recommend the combo of Tabac and Clubman Special Reserve to anyone who has the wherewithall to try it. Initial testing by me shows it increases manliness by 23% and handsomeness by 28%. Those are early numbers, further testing required.

 

SOTD - Thursday, August 20, 2015

Cool shower
Prep: Lime PSO
Brush: Rooney 1/2, super silvertip
Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
Razor: Ball-end Tech
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
Aftershave: Stirling Gin & Tonic splash

 

Razor: Gillette Fat Boy (1961)(6)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (4)
Brush: WDC-4, Silvertip Badger, Butterscotch. (VIG) 24/67
Cream: Proraso
Bowl: Yokohama Studio (Hand Painted) (gift from my Wife)
A/S: The Shave Den, Coconut

I've been getting excellent shave with the FB and Proraso cream. It doesn't hurt to have a good shave brush. I will use #7 setting tomorrow. We are getting heavy rain here out in the country and our satellite isn't working well.

PREP: MUSGO REAL CLASSIC
RAZOR: GILLETTE SUPER SPEED FLAIR TIP
BLADE: LADAS (3RD SHAVE)
BRUSH: EVER READY 600
SOAP: STIRLING NAG CHAMPA
POST: OSAGE RUB/ F&C SHADY PAST




Had a good 3 pass shave today. The nag champa is a great scent and went well with the Shady Past A/S. Both are complex in a dark kind of way. The Osage is great to cool the skin down afterwards especially if there is any irritation. Good news is there was no irritation today, just a smooth finish. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Special Reserve will even give you mad driving skills....

 

Frigid Friday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 5
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Old Spice Cologne

Mais oui, all week I've been using my favourite soaps and aftershaves because along with the a/c they've been keeping me feeling cold and comfy. The Glacial Wintergreen soap lathers like a maniac, it has that beautiful scent which drives me crazy, and the menthol effect can freeze a polar bear. The matching balm and witch hazel are equally cold with the same scent, and such A-1 post-shave care. Seriously, I can't wait for my recently-purchased Stirling order to arrive because it has back-ups for the Glacials for me.

Wishing everyone a nice weekend in advance!
