Dove Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #90
Edwin Jagger DE 89
Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #90 Tuxedo synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Edwin Jagger DE 89 razor with a Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge Stainless 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 Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

**this baby has niiiiice menthol, among other things. Not "Ice Bucket Challenge" menthol, but I wouldn't use it in the winter.

Monday's shave will be with:

TOBS Sandalwood shaving soap in a wooden bowl,
Omega boar brush,
Merkur 37c w/Astra SP blade,
Captain's Choice aftershave.

 

I firmly believe this is the first time I've been literally scared to cold rinse my face after a shave!
That Denali soap is wicked cold. Compared to Proraso Green, this seems 3 times colder, at least.
It's not so much of a problem during the shave, but those rinses... holy smoly!
I'm no menthol-head, so call me a n00b by all means.. haha.
Otherwise a lovely shave, with minor issues from yesterdays disaster shave to tackle.
Lovely scent from the Denali and outstanding lather performance in all regards. A bit weak-scented, perhaps.
SWMBO did compliment my shave for being virtually scent-less post-shave. She's not fond of scents from products. So that's a plus!
Finished off with a near-BBS and ready for the day.​

Excellent shave this morning with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Easy, slick, freezing lather from the Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo shave soap. Three passes for a dolphin smooth end result. Have a great day my friends.

Excellent shave today. The Silver Shadow easily coaxed optimal lather from Reef Point Sandalwood, protecting my face through three passes with the Futur on five. I finished up with Chiseled Face Sherlock and my face feels great.

Nice little Menthol Monday shave. Proraso Green is a little cool and the Barbasol has a good bit of menthol. Nice way to wake up on a Monday.

Much better result today with the GEM MMOC. There are still a couple of spots on my neck that feel a little burned but it's better than yesterday. That razor must be treated with respect!

Have a great day!

Had to delete and post in the correct thread. Just shows I should wait until I've had my coffee. Another great shave with the Timeless OC. The shaves are as close and long lasting as those from my SE razors. Transferred the Mystic Water back to a shave stick tube and I think it works better for me in that format. Finished off the shave with Myrsol F/Extra. I hope everyone has a great Monday.
