SoS: January 18, 2016 - January 24, 2016

I'm smooth as silk and I smell great thanks to the Paradise Frost soap from Mickey Lee Soapworks. Great lather with a bit of a cooling effect and good post-shave care so no complaints from that end. The Shambala aftershave provided a good amount of cooling with its awesome scent!

 

Thank you Doug.

 

On was your commute this morning?

 

Just leaving the house now. It should be ok and take somewhere between 1 and 1 1/2 hours. Got to love Atlanta.

 

I'll bet it's warm there. That's a step in the right direction.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS. TODAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY SUPER-MAX TITANIUM BLADES FOR THE FIRST TIME DUE TO A GRACIOUS PIF FROM @ram57. THANK YOU BUDDY! MY HONEST IMPRESSION OF THIS BLADE IS THAT IT FELT TUGGY ALL THE WAY THROUGH MY THREE PASSES. HERE IS THE THING, IT PROVIDED A VERY SMOOTH BBS WITH NO IRRITATION AT ALL. VERDICT: IT'S A GOOD BLADE AT A VALUE FOR THE COST. STIRLING MITA FROZE MY FACE OFF AND IT WAS ALREADY NUMB FROM THE BURT'S BEES CLEANSER AND THE FACT THAT IT'S AN EXCEPTIONALLY CHILLI MORNING HERE IN FLA. HAVE A GREAT SHAVE AND A GREAT DAY GUYS.

 

Beautiful colors!

 

Excellent photo!

Let me start by saying I hate how well this shave turned out.

Hot shower
Gillette (shudder) Fusion Proglude
Barbasol Arctic Chill
W, X1, X2, touch up
Cold rinse, cold towel, witch hazel, Creamo Balm, Barbasol Brisk
DFS

I hadn't shaved in three days, and I was in a hurry. I am, of course, joking a bit here, but I do wish I could get a shave like this with one of my vintage DEs, or even one of my modern ones.

 

Thanks very much!...another one from my "blue series"!

 

Thanks very much...one of my "blue" photos. It will soon be time to change my background. I am trying to get to the bottom of this tub of cream...it certainly goes a long way!

 

Wednesday SOTD January 20th...........

Proraso bowl lathered w/SOC Boar
Aristocrat w/Sputnik blade
Witch hazel followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/Floid Vigoroso aftershave

2-passes for a DFS!

 

Great photo @LaSalle82 Very pretty colors!

 

How you like the Seygus razor so far?

 

Schick M1 Adjustable razor
Schick Super Chromium blade
WD Synthetic brush
Vintage Williams SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Nivea Energy balm
Pinaud Clubman

The donut hole in my vintage Williams is getting bigger but still getting great lather. Don't use the M1 enough so the shave wasn't as good as I would have liked. Perhaps it's just me and not really the razor. At any rate, all done and time to get going. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

today
hot water wash with nuetrogena men's invigorating face wash and a washcloth
Ever-Ready 150 boar
BOMBED soap commander passion
Merkur Futur(3.5)
Gillette silver blue(2)
Crusella&co Sandalo
soap commander passion balm
today's shave was very nice. the old Ever-Ready ain't pretty, but it sure does work. bombed passion,a drunken love story. No wait a sec, that's a different story. back to shave. three passes with the futur, very close and comfy. finished with a double tap of Sandalo and passion balm.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

What kind of bowl do you use?
