Wednesday 09/30/2015 TSD Wheat Shaving Cream Simpson 46 Best Badger Pre-war Gillette SS Personna Lab blade Mentholated Clubman AS My first go around with the TSD M Bomb. Only added one drop to my AS and it was enough menthol for me. The TSD Shaving Cream performed as expected, great. Not a big SC fan, but this provides plenty of lather and slickness. And it is fast to lather as well. Dave
I tried to Create an account & had to go, repeatedly, through SO many 'machinations' that my AGGRAVATIONS outweighed my desire for the product (which I truly wanted)!
Welcome back, Troy! Now that you are getting settled into your new home, you can get back to the important things.
Time to post for Thursday's shaving action: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Derby day 4 Krampert's Frostbite SS Intesa Glacial Lotion Krampert's Frostbite AS Not nearly as frigid a set-up as I normally would select but still very frigid and nice. Brian's Frostbite soap is a damned easy and rich latherer with a very pleasant scent, and super-COLD as well as pretty good skincare. I find the Intesa Glacial smells really nice and soothing with a mild cooling sensation and it's made in Italy. The Frostbite aftershave is almost what I would call hypermentholated. All it would take is another bump-up in the menthol amount and it would do the trick.
Final day of SEptember so I closed it out the way it started - with my grandpa's 1912. T&H PSO T&H Lavender Cream T&H Wellington Super Badger GEM 1912 GEM SS with half spine T&H Classic After Shave Balm Nice finish to a great month.
Only thing new today is started on L'Occitober a day early. I'm going to stay with the Speick AS until it's gone which won't be long. I've gotta say after one shave I think I like L'Occitane more than Speick.
Razor A: Ever-Ready SE 1914 Razor B: Gillette SS 1947 Birth Razor Blade A: GEM (7) Blade B: Personna Blue (2) Brush: Fendrihen Silver Tip Black Faux Ebony Handle Mug Old Spice Cobalt Blue 1985 Soap: TSD Iced Old Spice type A/S: Old Spice Excellent shave this evening. Don't have any original Old Spice shaving soap or cream so TSD is a good stand-in.
Thursday's Dove Men Face Wash C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Micromatic Bullet-tip* 1947 Birth Era Razor GEM Stainless Gillette NEW SC/Personna Blue CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Lilac Vegetal I am using two razors this month: a birth year razor and an open comb razor for OCtober. The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip brush. First pass with my Micromatic Bullet-tip razor and a GEM Stainless Single Edge blade followed by second pass with the Gillette SC NEW 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 Lilac Vegetal as an after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I am using two razors this month: a birth year razor and an open comb razor for OCtober.
