09/25/2015 Razor – Mongoose B2 with Triad SS Helix Blade – Feather Super Pro (10) Brush – Rubberset # 3 with WSP HMW Lather – Strop Shoppe Baker Street Post - Witch Hazel and Myrsol F/Extra
My first shave with the Krampert's Frostbite soap: This stuff is a delight - an awesome scent, tons of rich, creamy lather, and plenty of menthol to it. Caution: If using the B&M Arctique aftershave use only a SMALL amount because this stuff is lethally-mentholated. My eyes are still tearing from it. This stuff reminds me of the Glacial witch hazels!

Schick Grip razor Personna blade WD Synthetic brush Vintage Williams SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Pinaud Lime Sec cologne w/added menthol The Grip razor is a delight to use. Great grip and smooth shaver that worked well with the vintage Williams SS. BTW, vintage Williams could be my only shave soap if it were still readily available. It's that good for me.

I had a very nice shave today. While I will admit that the Provence Sante can be a little tricky to get to lather perfectly, once you learn to lather it well it really shines. Provence Sante Voskhod blade Slim Adjustable 3 passes
I honestly do not know yet. It is not what I expected. I can't really describe it. I am going to use it again tomorrow to be fair. As of now, I probably won't re-order it? The new Platinum line of soap is excellent though. Clear as mud??
FRIDAY An early morning 3-pass shave with this vintage C-MON Cadillac. This razor is probably one of the smoothest shaves I've ever had the pleasure of using. It would certainly make my 'Top 5' list,,,, Have a blessed Friday, everyone!

My Speick stick is coming to it's end. Probably 4-5 more shaves left in it at least though. My Polsilver blade was getting a little rough today so I tossed it and cleaned up the Muhle R89 for a last glamour shot before putting it away for a while.
