Tuesday's


Dove Men Face Wash

Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip
Gillette NEW SC/Micromatic Bullet-tip * 1947 BYR
Personna SS/GEM Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block

Pinaud Vegetal

The RazoRock P.160 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 after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Day 5
Only a 2 pass shave tonight as it is the last day with this blade and my angle of attack (Gillette Slide) has improved. Hate to put this razor away for a while, as it is one of my favorites. But my rule is to use a razor and blade for 7 days then change. The Don Donato is a good soap, but I firmly believe that Iced TSD soaps are better. IMHO(YMMV). I really like the Pinuad Lime A/S.

Home- It's a grunt thing.

Heck of a brush Jim...

Nice picture great blade!!! One of my favorites.

Thanks, it is my favorite. That Fendrihen Silver Tip is quite nice.

Thank you, Doug!

I really like the looks of that brush.

I like that handle on your brush. I am thinking of getting one and putting a knot in it. Great looking Brush. Like that razor too!

Yeah, and a great performer as well.

It's a great brush.

Planned shave for Tuesday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 2
Palmolive Menthol SC
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Proraso Green AS

I can never stop loving my Palmolive Menthol cream because it's so wonderful - its lovely minty, refreshing scent, its super rich, easy to build lather, and its icy menthol punch which feels so good both during a shave and after a cold water rinse as well as the soothed, relaxed post-shave it gives. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream is another chilly, wonderful product which moisturizes and cools the skin after a shave, and the Proraso Green aftershave is a chilly, classy product in its own right. I can also never stop loving these Derby blades!

Where do you get that shave cream?

Oh, the Palmolive Menthol? I bought some from Italian Barber.

Okay, thanks. I'll get some.
