Tobacco Thursday
Superb two pass shave today. The Bronze Shadow made top notch lather from WSP, followed by two passes on six with my Futur, left my face very smooth and comfortable. I finished with WSP Tobacco balm for some extra skincare and a refreshing hint of menthol on a very humid day.
The first day of school went very well - I have two AP Psych classes and one each of US History and Western Civ. A good bunch of students.

A top notch 3 pass shave this morning. The shave was smooth and irritation free. The Route 66 Frozen Margarita soap continues to impress. This soap is certainly on my "Buy Again" list. Finished up the shave with the matching aftershave balm. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Have a great Thursday Clint.

Thank you Doug. I hope you have a great day as well.

Razor: Schick G1 injector
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Proraso Red
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Skin Bracer, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Nice shave again with this combination. Proraso works quite well. I may prefer the White and Green varieties over the Red, but they are all good soaps.

Have a great day!

A lovely shave today with my Gada Cool Mint cream which is probably the cheapest shaving product you can find. It lathered beautifully from a small dab on both cheeks and it gave me a good cooling effect as well as perfect post-shave care. The Snake Bite aftershave gave me that delightful freeze I love so much!

Jeeves Soaps-Conservatory today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette “Spoiler” SS still in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Pino Silvestre-Oud Absolute aftershave.

Considering the care that Gareth and his partner have put in on their razors, I almost wonder if this is a case of a blade which is actually optimized to give the best performance in a Rockwell 6S. (Kind of the same way that a Feather HS blade supposedly performs its best in a Feather razor or, going further back, the similar claims made by Gillette in the 30's.)

Today's shower , in sentence form

Good morning, Churchill reporting. As we're getting a couple of humid days beginning today, I continued with the Nivea 4 Men Cool bodywash. Followed that up with the Coast deodorant soap. Finished the shower with the Dove 4 Men Clean&Fresh(with Caffeine and Menthol)shampoo. Finished the program with Mennen Speed Stick Regular, after my shave. Theref0re, about the same as always except I do need that menthol shampoo for the humidity.

As I'm sure you know by now(from all my bragging, lol), I'm reserving Stoylin Lemon Chill for part of my next summer.rotation. Your review of it was a big help in that decision.

1st use of a Star 3 piece (that I can recall) and it was good. Nice close comfortable shave that left me DFS with no problem. And I love CO Bigelow SC, it just works so well for me. It could be my one and only. Wait...nah but I sure do like it. Now go enjoy your day folks
