    I was planning to go take a picture of this stuff in a snowbank or on a snowy cedar bough or something, but it was snowing and even though it is only zero outside, the windchill was around -16.

    So after I closed the front door and pulled my sundress back down off my head, I slinked back into my bathroom and took them there.

    Definitely a face freezer. They are good for you every once in a while.

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Arko Shaving Stick
    Jayaruh #142
    Gillette Blue Tip SS B3
    Personna Super
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #142 black badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Blue Tip SS B3 with a Personna Super 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...
  8. Thanks very much for your kind words.
  9. Looks like a bloody cold shave their Doug

    Blade: Personna (D01)
    Brush: M&F Blonde Badger 25mm
    Bowl: Buffalo Horn 6"
    Pre Shave Scrub: Tiki 1920’s Barber Shoppe
    Pre Shave Balm: Proraso Sensitive
    Shave Soap: TABAC
    Post: Monster Alum Block
    Aftershave Balm: TABAC
    Cologne: TABAC 

    This morning shave with a new Personna blade was pretty rough. I went ahead and finished my shave and then pulled the blade to look at it. Edge had two chips in it somehow so tossed the blade and will try again. Previous shave with a Personna blade was actually pretty good so I was taken back by the rough shave, but like other have stated Schick is a tad better than Personna blades.

    Post:SDP Terroso balm


    Had a unusual shave, troubles with lather stability made a very thin lather, but the scent is awesome for this time of year. Also was having trouble with the SDP balm burning my face so not sure if it will stay in the den, may end up trading it or running another PIF.

    Very nice 2 pass shave this morning. The scent of Leviathan is a nice coffee Sandalwood which went well with the snow and cold weather here in Detroit, and paired nicly with the LG balm. Hope everyone had a great shave !
