    Dove Men Face Wash
    TSD Killer Queen
    Jayaruh #85
    Eversharp-Schick G4
    Personna Injector
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    I switched the Schick for a Personna blade today. That was a good move. The Personna is much smoother in this G4. The TSD Killer Queen Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #85 Sunrise synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Eversharp-Schick G4 razor with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    SHAVE OF THE DAY

    Prep: gustafsons woodlands
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Big Ben (3rd shave)
    Brush: RazoRock plissoft
    Soap: Stirling Nag Champa
    Post: Folsom & CO Muir aftershave



    Sorry i didnt have time to take a pic, its been a busy day. Had a nice 2 pass ice water shave, a bit of lather trouble at first, which may be because of the small tin this sample is in, but eventually got it to a merangue consistancy. No Bubbles, which is the kind of lather I tend to get with high tallow content soaps. The ice water felt amazing even thou the cubes melted before the shave, tap water has been coming out pretty hot latley so it was breath taking. No burn from the A/S which is a good thing, but not as close as usual. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    Mon 15th Aug.
    RazoRock plissoft 24mm
    MWF
    Ever Ready " Streamline "
    Gem S/S [ 1 ]
    Alum Rub & Rinse off
    Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

    After 2 weeks plus on Injectors, felt the need to switch back to an SE Razor. Rather daunting as I feel injectors are so fail safe , whereas both SE /DE razors require a lot more care and attention whilst shaving.

    I chose a "Streamline" as one of my favourites , but was cautious as having been cavalier with it on my last outing was rewarded with a bad cut [ need a steri strip applied ]. My caution was rewarded by one of those really close all-round shaves , very rarely bettered in my short experience with either SE Or Injectors.

    Amazing shave today for the end of my summer. Teachers report today, and students come in next week. I cannot find enough superlatives for Myrsol Emulsion... combined with BM Cologne Russe, I could barely feel my Futur on six, such was the quality of the glide and protection. The aftershave barely stung, and I added a little bit more of Myrsol to provide a soothing cool for a very satisfying menthol Monday.

    SOTD August 15, 2016

    Blade: Chinese Schick
    Razor: Schick H injector (on pass-around from @ob1page)
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Lather: TSD Barber Shoppe
    Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD Barber Shoppe, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, XTG

    Interesting shave with the Schick type H. Quite a unique razor. I'm pretty smooth on most areas except my upper lip and a few spots on my neck. I've got to work on the angle a little more. But a fun razor to shave with!

    The Barber Shoppe scent from TSD is really nice. I hope you all have a great Monday!

    Now that I have the angle dialed in the Timeless OC razor is really starting to shine. The angle required is steeper than my other razors which took me time to figure out. The Timeless OC seems to have a wider sweet spot on the angle than my Wolfman OC with increased blade gap. Using a steeper angle the shave with the TROC is very smooth and super efficient. In fact it rivals my Cobra Classic for closeness and efficiency. I hope everyone has a great Monday.
