    Nice shave this morning. I have a love hate relationship with this soap. Great shaves, great post shave but I struggle with the lather. I'm going to use it exclusively for a couple of weeks and see how things work out improving my lather. Have a good one.

    I find myself using colder and colder water. In Colorado, that's pretty cold even in the heights of summer.

    I like a cold shave, but not cold prep.

    Schick G8 razor
    Schick Super Chrome blade
    Vintage Williams SS
    WD Synthetic brush
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Pinaud Clubman A/S

    The Super Chromium blades have been a real disappointment for me. Tried a new one in 3 different razor and got irritation/tugging/pulling each time. Well, it was pretty smooth in the Grip razor. And the shaves ended up DFS (barely) but I don't think these blades are worth the trouble for me anyway. Guess it's one of those YMMV things

    MONDAY
    Another excellent straight razor shave, this time using a shaving cream in lieu of a puck.
    Institut Karité 'shea butter' cream is an exceptional shave cream. Fine 'Platinum' finish.
    Have a great Monday!

    That's the problem with my current Clubman(the 16 oz. Country Club A.S.).....I don't care much for the green&white photo of the lettering and Dr. Pinaud's famous stance...I'll return to the 6 when this is through to get the red lettering back.
