MdC today. 20 seconds to load the Plisson Badger. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Personna Med Prep in the NEW SC. Great smooth, close, shave. I finished with CC Modern Fougere

That's what you get when you win your division.

 

It was Glacial Spearmint that scared me away from the heavily mentholated products.
Maybe if I didnt live close to the north pole I would enjoy them more

 

I made a comment in "sports" about the length of the beard of that Astros pitcher. Never saw one THAT close to the ground.

 

Yeah they did....go Jays

All the Glacials have that same menthol attack, my man - they could make a polar bear or a penguin want to move to Miami!

October 7, 2015
Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Energizing Face Wash Boost
Razor: Gillette Old Type
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Lather: Shannon's Soap Falling Leaves
Brush: Omega 10066
Post: Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Muir
I have a head cold so I'm not sure about the scent of Falling Leaves. Very good performance! The Gillette Old Type again was spectacular, a very close 3 pass shave.
Never let the things you WANT
Make you forget the things you HAVE

 

Razor: Gillette New SC Red & Black set 1930s
Brush: e-shave finest Badger
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Cella classica 1899
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass AS Stopper #4

Back with the Gillette New SC, I really like both the LC and SC. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. The Badger whipped up a thick warm lather in my go to OS Mug. Very close two pass shave with some touchup. More aggressive than the LC so I had to pay close attention. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm. Finished with some Vintage Old Spice AS from 1973! Nice razor, great feedback and I can get into some spots on my neck with only a little buffing. I'm glad I got both the SC and LC. Y'all have a good one!

 

Great shot! Love the brush

 

Thanks old buddy! Brush made in the USA.

 

Get well quick!

 

Vintage Old Spice Lime is my favorite!
