Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TSD Iced Lime
Jayaruh #100
GEM G-Bar
CVS 009 RD
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The TSD Iced Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #100 two-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM G-Bar razor with a CVS 009 RD 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...

Today's shave will be the same tomorrow. The 1914 was awesome today and will be featured for the next 3-4 days. Noisey but very smooth . Awesome razor. Stay cool everyone!

Excellent shave with the PAL Adj. this morning. Wonderful, rich, slick lather from the KMF. Three passes for a dolphin smooth refreshing finish. Have a great day friends.

Mon 12th Sept

Stirling Synthetic 26mm
Vitos Red croap
Schick Dial Adjustable
Schick S/S Twin [ 9 - Japan ]
Alum Rub/Rinse
Floyd Vigoroso A/S lotion

Nice lather whipped up in a flash with the Stirling. Realised the scent/smell reminded me a bit of Monday morning
wash days. The shave was smooth and comfortable, but there are signs that the blade is starting to tail off after 9th outing. Certainly a must for use in the Adjustable if you cannot get hold of NOS Twins,especially as IMHO the razor
is not good with a single blade.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!! SOTD 09/12/16

Tobacco Menthol Monday
WSP provided an excellent shave today. The Bronze Shadow made thick lather from Tobacco tallow soap, easing the way for a two pass take down of two days growth with the Futur set on six. The Tobacco balm is one of the best I've used - creamy and soothing without being oily, and a refreshing menthol kick.

Razor: GEM Micro-matic Open Comb
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Through The Fire Fine Craft 'The Beast' sample
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Barbasol Pacific Rush, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Pretty close shave with the GEM MMOC. A little redness on my neck, but that's normal for this razor. It'll clear up soon. Otherwise a pretty nice shave. That razor is pretty aggressive and I have to be careful with pressure and angle. It's improving with each use.

Have a great day!

Holy Toledo, my face is so frozen from this shave - my Plissoft 26mm Monster whipped up a huge amount of terrific lather from the Glacial Spearmint soap and the resulting menthol effect was lethal. Guys, this soap now competes easily with the Chiseled Face Cryogen, as do all the latest versions of the Glacials. The matching balm soothed, moisturized, and froze my face some more, not to mention what the Arctique aftershave splash did to me. The new Astra in my Parker R22 helped me get an ultra-BBS shave!
