Much Nicer Shave Today

Very smooth today. Almost perfect. Two tiny nicks, but that's learning for ya.

Gillette Slim (set on 5)
Wilkinson Sword Black
Kent BLK4
Taylor Eton College
Hand Lather
Tolsom Aftershave

 

Thursday AM:

Gillette Tech w/Derby
Kent Bk4
Truefitt & Hill 1805
Max Refreshing AS

Another good shave from the tech!

 

After my usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
toggle/feather combo
Mytimebathandbody lemon SS
Lucky Tiger AS

Sigh........my 4th shave with the recently acquired toggle. I'm hoping I still need to get used to this razor and maybe my technique's off with this model. It's just not as comfortable or smooth as my fatboy so far. The weight's different, and obviously the handle is too. I even set the thing down one number from my usual, but that's no help. I get a very good, but not great shave. Funny, a while ago I had an Executive I really wanted to love, but I never connected with it. Looked great, but it just didn't fit my face.
Anyway, next blade for tomorrow will be the Iridium after the last 4 with a feather, and see what happens.

Thursday

Hot Shower

Art of Shaving Pre Shave Oil

C. O. Bigelow Shave Cream

Kent V10 Brush - First time out! (It's very different than my Art of Shaving brush)

Gillette Sensor (I STILL have not had the opportunity to try the DE that Michael so gracefully sent me, too many darn weddings over the weekends)

TSD Bay Rum After shave.

 

Dude, it's JUST a shave. DO IT man!

 

Friday:

Omega Silvertip
Parker 22R V1/Tiger day 3
Gada Cool Mint S/C
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Pinaud Bay Rum A/S

these Tiger blades aren't so bad after all--I got a nice, close and smooth shave this morning without any cuts, or razor burn, so I'm happy!

 

after shower at the sink:

Trumper Gold Warwick/Red IP(3)
Rooney 3/1 Super
Windsor Shave Soap (this vegetable-based soap creates alotta lather )
WWR
CWS
Thayers Lavender w/h
Bvlgari pour homme a/s
Bvlgari pour homme edt

 

Friday Freeze

Gillette Tech W/Derby
Kent Bk4
Mama Bear's Awakenings Soap
Max Refreshing AS
Mama Bear's Summer Aftershave Milk

It felt like I had ice on my face for 30 minutes.

Suprisingly, I think the Tech is my new favorite setup. So easy and lite on my face that it feels like I'm just using a blade. It makes those tough to get to areas more accessibale because it's so small. Not bad for a $5 razor!
