    SOTD - 3/17/16
    Prep: Hot shower, Nivea Face wash
    Brush: Jayaruh Cholula Travel Badger
    Lather: RazoRock One-X
    Razor: First Quarter 1971 Gillette Black-Handle SS
    Blade: Schick DE (3)
    Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (7, 8, 9)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Thayer's Witch Hazel pad, RazoRock One-X AS splash
    Cologne: Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d' Orange

    Top o' the mornin'! A day off between shaves gave the Schick a bit more of a test on its 3rd day, in my mildest razor. The lather started out very good, but I'm still not an expert with the slightly floppier Cholula badger, compared to brushes with a tad more backbone, so that's something for me to improve. The blade started out fine, but showed its age on the second pass, as I got a persistent weeper at the spot where 'under my chin' merges with 'neck.' Overall, I'd rate it a DFS shave, but I'm in no hurry to stock up on Schick DE razor blades at this point.

    Nice job, Mike! You are right that courage is an important trait during tough times.

    Had a rather Sticky morning
    Also used a Palmolive stick "Men, Classic" and even though its scent does little for me I really do like its performance.

    I'm so excited to post now because I'll be using some of my new goodies!

    Friday morning:

    Nivea Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Synthetic :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Super Speed/Astra day 5
    Italian Barber Acquatico SS
    Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Razorock Don Donato AS

    No need to test-lather this soap because I've heard so many good reviews on it like everything I have from Italian Barber. The Don Donato aftershave smells fantastic - so manly and commanding! ;) :D

    It will be my pleasure, i have about 30 or so pages(most are folded pages (4 Pages). From `43 tru `45. I don`t want to over do it and start boring the members. Yeah I`m trying to mostly show comics and ads(98c for things that cost much, much more now). Anyone interested in the war news, just let me know, i can do that too. Believe me, I`m having a ball doing this.
