Monday's TESC Pre-Shave Oil Speick Shave Cream Jayaruh #51 synthetic The Bunny V3 with NOTSO Schick Injector CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Speick After Shave Last night I changed the comb to the NOTSO comb. I must tell you that I was a little timid coming to this morning's shave, but the NOTSO comb really came through. The Speick Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #51 synthetic brush. Two passes with The Bunny V3 injector razor with the NOTSO comb and a Schick Injector 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 Speick After Shave. Really, after the first pass, I could have gone away with a socially acceptable shave, but I did the second pass and got a really great shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Jim, have you liked the Speick the past few shaves? I have the after shave and think it's really nice. Haven't tried the cream yet.
I got these in a pif. I really like the AS. The cream lathers up well, but I find my skin is a bit sensitive to it. No rash or anything, it just gives me a little sting. I am not ready to give up on it yet.

Wonderful three pass shave this morning with a last minute change up on the handle. Lately I've been noticing that I get better shaves with longer handled razors so this morning I switched last minute to a long black and chrome Bullgoose handle that I have and it worked like a charm. It's not pictured as I took this photo before I shaved on the previous day. It will be in tomorrows photo. Cryogen watered my eyes and froze my face for twenty minutes after my shave was over. Ladas are amazingly sharp blades for me and work smoothly in this razor. Have a wonderful shave and an equally wonderful day.
Very nice setup Can, your Mingshi razor is I had never seen one. Looking at the flags you post has made me realize just how many different countries are part of our daily shaves. How great!
