Planned Monday SOTD Mongoose razor New Forest brush Myrsol Masaje Antesol PSC Caffeinated shaving cream B&M Cologne Russe aftershave
With Sunday being the 1st day of Spring I decided to give my new razor and soap (a big thank you to @LuvWetShavin for the PiF) a spin. TDS Wheat Shave Cream face lathered w/Omega 6151 Pure (1st time w/this cream. Made an excellent slick, thick, cushiony lather. Very impressed indeed) eVAHS razor w/a fresh Derby blade (The eVAHS is quite a bit larger than any razor I've used & will take some time to get used to, however, a very comfortable shave. I'm planning a razor review after a few more shaves) Witch Hazel rinse, followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/Fine Platinum aftershave. (The Platinum paired very well w/the YSL scent of the cream) 3-passes for an excellent BBS shave! I really enjoyed the razor and soap. This razor will definitely take some getting used to due to its shear size (110g). prior to the eVAHS, my heaviest razor was my Fatboy at about (75g) which doesn't even approach the eVAHS. However, it gives a very smooth comfortable shave.
Monday(3-21)Planned Shave prep-Dial 4 Men in Shower(I tossed out the one I had through this morning, but I have another one set to go) Cream-Rise Super Foam regular (pulled out a new one this morning, my 4th in the order, but plenty left) Razor-No change here(Sensor 2 Pivot +) A.S.-Chiseled Face(Sherlock)
Monday's TESC Pre-Shave Oil Arko Stick Jayaruh #54 synthetic Schick M2 Adjustable Personna CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Florida Water Arko Stick Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #54 synthetic brush. Two passes with my Schick M2 Adjustable razor and a Personna 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 Florida Water After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
