ThuRRsday
Smooth and efficient Rhapsody and Russe shave today. Easy thick lather and great scent. Three clean passes with der Futur on six leaves my neck comfortable smooth.

 

A most enjoyable shave with my Black Ice soap which lathered beautifully and gave me good menthol cooling. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream together with the Rubby Dubby Doo added LOTS of extra freeze!

Axe Chilled FW
3 hot towels
WD Synthetic
VDH Scented Luxury + KMY Key Lime
'66 Gillette Slim (4) w/Gillette Silver Blue (2)
W, X1, X2, touch ups
Cold rinse, cold towel, witch hazel, L'Oreal Balm, Stetson Cooling Moisture AS

Another sub-par shave with an adjustable. No blood, but that's only because it didn't shave close enough to cut me.

 

November 19 SOTD:

Homemade PS Oil
Stirling Synthetic Brush
Pre de Provence SS
Gillette Aristocrat
Stirling Unscented PSB
Aqua Velva AS

 

Thor's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Nivea for Men Original Moisturizing Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger
Lather: Ginger's Garden Coffee Jasmine soap (with mango butter)
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC

Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (9, 10, 11)
Post: Cold water rinse, Thayer's witch hazel & aloe vera pad, Myrsol Metilsol AS splash
Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

The Bic started to show some signs of dulling today, with the slightest hints of tugging at two days' stubble. The prep and lather pulled through, though, along with attention to technique. If today's shave wasn't quite BBS, it was so nearly BBS that I can see that result from this spot. I'll probably stretch the blade out for one more day before swapping it, barring the unforeseen.
