SoS: August 17, 2015 - August 23, 2015

Saturday morning's fun:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 6
Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Old Spice Cologne

A special shout-out to my dear friend Rod - Yaish Stirling, yaish sabounak, tislam idak, kull sinnih wa enta tayib, habibi! Don't worry, he understands everything I said! The MITA soap is a cherished favourite of mine because of its awesome scent, lather, and nice menthol effect as well as its post-shave soothing. There's nothing like the Gold Bond for further cooling and protection, as well as the Penguin to make you shiver even more. Madame finally admits that she likes when I wear the Old Spice - yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

 

Great looking razor and gear. Like the flick also. 50's feel to it.

 

Another great looking razor. I would purchase one, but I would have to renovate the bathroom.

 

Is that an older bottle of American Blend?

 

Where did you find the Shulton cloth did it come with your daughter's birthday gift?

That future set looks nice!

I was veeeery lucky with that weber. A seller in sweden was selling it for about 45$ including shipping haha! But man it's a great great shaver. I was on a no buy, i broke it to get this weber. I just HAD TO haha!

 

Yup. I believe I bought that when Fine first started up.

 

When did they start their business @RaZorBurn123?

 

Goodness I just checked Fine's website, he says he started tinkering a few years after 2005, I remember my first bottle of Fine was Snake Bite and Fine was the talk of the community. I've had all of my Fine aftershave's for almost 3 years.

 

Saturday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TOBS Grapefruit
Semogue Owners Club
Gem 1912
Treet Super SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Semogue Owners Club 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...

 

Thanks. I'll do some research tomorrow. Appreciate the feedback.

 

SOTD - Friday, August 21, 2015

Cool shower
Prep: Homemade PSO
Brush: Simpsons Duke 3
Soap: Catie's Bubbles Spanish Holiday
Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (2)
Aftershave: Clubman

 

Good razor. I'm not in love with the handle though. I find it a little slippery.

 

Thanks
It was my very first DE, and although it's a bit mild, it shaves so well that I can't seem to knock it out of my rotation. I can't say that I've had similar issues with the handle. However, I do have an EJ DE89L that has similar (but vertically lined) handle that I find slippery on occasion.

 

Couldn't sleep so I got up at midnight to shave.

•Gillette Sensor with cart from 1992 (vintage!)
•Arko Cool cream

A very nice shave, BBS, but I still prefer the feel of a Trac II or Atra.

 

Being a little slippery is worth the trouble as it is a good shaver.

 

me too
