•Clix EZ Flo •Famos carbon blade •modern Williams soap Three pass DFS+ I've used lots of carbon blades over the years. Had seen Famos blades but never owned any until I recently came across this pack. Turns out it is one of the very smoothest carbon blades I've ever used, easily on par with Gillette's best carbons and my personal gold standard, the old Silver Star. Most comfortable shave I've had in some time (the Clix helps with that). Would like to find more. a/s: Dollar General/Rexall menthol rub dosed with Aqua Velva blue and even more menthol crystals. Quite refreshing.
Shaved this afternoon as I'm heading out unexpectedly tonight so I won't be shaving in the morning.......... C&E Nomad shave soap face lathered w/Duke 2 Best 40's Super Speed paired w/7 o'clock yellow Witch hazel followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/a splash of Floid Vigoroso 2-passes for an outstanding shave........

Monday's 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...

You always bring the big guns on Menthol Monday! Will have to break out the Glacial Obsidian tomorrow and join the party!
Ive always been afraid of the ben-gay/vicks vapor rub smell. I have never used osage, but people, really make the smell seem really bad.

The medicinal scent dissipates rather quickly and then it's a nice barbershop scent. It's a favorite of mine.
