December 1 Feather Artist Club SS Feather Super Professional (3) Semogue 830 MdC scented Two passes plus touch-ups Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Pinaud Clubman I'm finishing up the blade in my Feather AC before beginning the December focus. 100 brush swirls on the MdC, and then I went at it. Today's shave was automatic - WTG, ATG, and touch-ups - for near BBS results. A on closeness and A+ on irritation. Have a great day!
Frankenlime Yesterday's shave was so good, I only needed a one pass touch up today. I used my Frankenlime soap again today with the same superb results. My Brothers Bristles Spartan Bronze brush easily made thick protective lather, setting up what little stubble there was for der Futur. PAA Lime Ginger Tea Tree left my face smooth and fresh and cool.

1.12.15 Whole new shave experience with products I have never used. GFTrumper rose shave cream Gillette Slim, notch 1 Wilkinson sword blade Wonderful, huge scuttle Snake Bite AS A dab of the Trumper shave cream exploded into enough foam for 3 shaves. Lovely classic rose scent. New type of razor means a learning curve and a few weepers. WTG, ATG, and touchup was sufficient. Snake Bite - Whoo! The skin was a little razor burned. Add the Snake Bite and I did not know if I was freezing or burning THAT woke me up! It settled down after a splash of witch hazel. Skin felt taut as a snare drum. Awake and ready now.

No, it's a Boston & Albany engine. However, it is a Berkshire 2-8-4 which the Polar Express was. The actual Polar Express is Pere Marquette 1225

One hell of a nice face-freezing shave thanks to my Frostbite soap from Brian. It lathered unbelievably rich and thick with tons of menthol which really hit me during my second pass. The matching aftershave goes on ice-cold as well and it moisturizes the skin so well, leaving an awesome post-shave feeling.
