    Third day of cheapskate shaves.

    Razor: Gillette Tech
    Blade: Personna blue (3)
    Oil: Secret Shave
    After Shave: Gillette gel

    Same routine as the first 2, one of the best shaves in a long time, near BBS. 3rd time on that edge, just as smooth as 1st. That little tech is so nice!

    I like it more than the older version which I still have. It's in my regular rotation and I definitely like it.

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Razorock Classic Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #40 Black Badger
    AutoStrop VB1
    Feather Stainless SE
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    The Razorock Classic Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #40 Black Badger brush. Two passes with my Valet AutoStrop razor and a Feather Stainless SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    SHAVE OF the day
    20160127_175238.jpg

    Prep: gustafsons woodlands
    Razor: 1940's Superspeed
    Blade: Derby (3rd shave)
    Brush: Ever ready Badger-lon
    Soap: RazoRock Mudder Focker
    Aftershave: Barbasol Brisk
    Balm: Soap Commander Resolution


    3 pass shave today. This Superspeed is one i found recently at antique shop. The Derby blades have not been as bad as I expected. The MF made a nice lather and has a unusual scent. I shaved a part of my goatee that hasn't been shaved in a while, so decided to use SC Balm since the skin was not used to that. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    @SHAVEWIZARD420 the RR MF is described as a cocoa scent by some reviewers but to me it smells like some type of coffee bean but in a pleasant way. Nice moisturizing effect from it. :)

    it is for the most UN scented, or should say it's not perfumed.
    it does have menthol that smells a little bit.
    it is a good cream, and what little smell it leaves is a neutral base for whatever aftershave you use.
    sorry for the late reply

    Razor: Gillette 1958 Executive adjustable
    Blade: Feather
    Brush: Stirling Kong
    Soap: Proraso Red
    Post: Cold water rinse, Witch Hazel, Fine American Blend
    [​IMG]

    Today was my first shave ever with the feather blade. Figured I would give it a go. Good close shave with the feather today. Not the smoothest blade but definitely sharp! Hoping after a day's shave that it will be smoother for day two.

    Thursday morning will be cool, but not too cold in my bathroom:

    Stirling Pre-Shave Soap :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Astra day 4
    Proraso White SS :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:
    Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Italian Barber Amici AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:

    The Proraso White soap is amazing - a great scent, lots of easy-to-create, rich lather and a pleasant, albeit mild cooling sensation. I always loved this soap because it's also perfect for sensitive skin like mine. The Lubriderm moisturizer also makes a very good aftershave balm because it's so soothing and protective. The Amici aftershave which is put out by Italian Barber smells super-nice and cools mildly with a really comfortable feeling - wonderful, wonderful stuff! (Oh, Rod's pre-shave soap is wonderful also - how can I forget it?) ;) :D

    Love the perspective of the photo. Will have to try the cryogen at some point. I love menthol and it should like it has some!
