    GOOD MONDAY MORNING TSD!!! 01/25/16 SOTD

    Razor-Schick G-8
    Blade-Schick(5)
    Brush-E-Shave Badger
    Lather-E-Shave Orange Sandalwood
    Three Passes-Wtg,Xtg,Atg
    Post Shave-Cold Water Rinse
    Witch Hazel,E-Shave Post Shave Lotion
    Pinaud Clubman A/S

    Had a really great shave with this little Schick razor smooth and comfortable for all three passes.
    I bowl lathered the E-Shave Creme instead of face lathering this morning, I like the results a lot better I got a much thicker and rich lather and very slick.
    So I ended up with a wonderful BBS shave this Monday morning!:happy088: DSCF0065.JPG

    HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!:)

    Menthol Monday
    Chilly Excellence bookended my shave, starting with PAA Ice and ending with Krampert's Finest Frostbite. In between, my HIS made slick lather from Ferox, and der Futur, set on 5.5, made quick work of my stubble, leaving smooth and drama free results.

    Well, I survived this menthol attack and enjoyed it immensely. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap delivered beautifully on the scent, lather, and freeze. The Arctique aftershave went on so frigidly and although it smells awesome, it doesn't disrupt the scent of an eau de toilette. BBS so easily with the help of my new Astra! :happy088: :happy088:

    Good morning TSD :)

    Day 1 of my comparison week - Merkur Futur vs. Progress

    vergleich2.jpg

    My setup today:

    - Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood
    - Mühle STF
    - Merkur Progress on 2.5
    - Gillette Silver Blue (#4)
    - Tüff sensitiv
    - Pinaud Special Reserve

    After having used the Futur for more than 2 weeks I pulled the Progress out of the drawer for a comparison between the two Merkur Adjustables.

    It's too early for a final verdict but at the moment the Futur is at least one step ahead of the Progress. That doesn't mean that the Progress is not a good razor - it is a very good one and both are actually better (meaning more efficient) than the Gillette Adjustables I have used (Slim and Black Beauty).

    If you want to read a more detailed description, you can find it here

    Ming Shi razor
    Astra SP blade
    Plisson/L'Occitane brush
    Lea Menthol SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Pinaud Lime Sec cologne w/added menthol

    Saw the Ming Shi on the shelf and thought, "I haven't used that one in at least 2 years". Took it off the shelf and got a right fine shave with it. Smooth, comfortable and close. Just what we are all looking for. And the Lea Menthol is a face freezer of a cream. Love it! Now go enjoy your day folks
