SoS: February 20, 2017 - February 26, 2017

The Top Ten Sensitive cream is a Bulgarian beauty - so easy to lather with such a nice scent, and it really wakes you up with its menthol feeling - in fact its the only cream from Bulgaria with a significant amount of menthol in it. The Svoboda balm added to the soothing very nicely, and the Shambala aftershave felt so icy and I can't begin to say how much I love the scent. This shave was smooth as silk and so enjoyable!

Another nice shave. I could have been done with one pass, but I didn't want to waste a brush full of goodness. As far as I am concerned, the Swedish Supersteel is the best of the Rapira offerings.

 

SOTD February 22, 2017

Blade: Kai Captain Mild
Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
Brush: Artisan badger
Lather: D.R. Harris Marlborough
Post: Witch hazel splash, Fine Platinum, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Pretty nice shave even though the D.R. Harris Marlborough was a little drying to my face. It lathered up easily and the badger brush is always comfortable. The Black Hawk worked well again and I'm ready to try a different blade to see how it compares with the Captain Mild. Overall nice shave in the end.

Have a great day!

 

My favorite rose. I wish I had a bottle of the balm.

 

Wednesday's shave was an old school Barbasol shave, single pass with some touch-up. Fantastic!

 

Nice scent.
Grabbed one together with discontinued Penhaligon's Lords balm in Venice.

2.22.2017, after yesterday my theme was MILD! Nice fast worry free shave. arko with my trusty semogue 820 produced a ton of slick tallow lather. The razor choice was inspired by Robyflexx!!!!!!!! I was always a schick man for disposables and i used the extreme 3, along with the hydro u cant go wrong. i found the moisture strip and the arko tallow gave me the most greasy shave ever! not bbs but zero razor burn and good enough for a day at Virginia beach.

Tomorrow is my last travel day and friday i return to my goodies at home

 

Today was the maiden shave with my Schick E1. I paired it with a fresh NOS "Dog's Danglies" Dutch Schick blade and it was heaven from there on out.

The E1 outdoes the E2 for closeness and smoothness. It is hard to imagine a better shave and better results. The dolphins are building a shrine even as we speak.

A 2 pass, WTG/ATG shave, a little clean-up resulting in a better than average shave due to my meds failing me again. It is what it is. Still a satisfactory shave. God Bless and hoping for great shaves for all. Somewhat Happy Camper.

It just doesn't get any better than this shave did. I'm smooth, clean and ready to go. On top of everything else, I smell like a pine forest. WOOT! Now go enjoy your day folks

 

The spined Personna injector in the GEM 1912 had enough left for a stellar beard shave but pooped out on the head shave. Shake Sharp rescue.

Nice shave, but the Titan needs a few strokes on crox, planning to do so this weekend.
