Thursday's Dove Men Face Wash VDH Luxury Jayaruh #128 Gillette Fatboy Wilkinson Sword Super Sword Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block T.N. Dickinson's WH Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS The VDH Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #128 brush. I did two passes the Gillette Fatboy and Wilkinson Sword Super Sword blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Todays shave was with a razor that I had restored a while back. It was a rust bucket, but 150+ yrs old. It has a fantastically sharp blade, and gave a smooth issue free shave. Razor- Wade & Butcher. Sheffield. True wedge. Brush- B400 By Tom Soap- Stirling Spicy Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice

'46 Ranger hybrid with a second-hand Voskhod, Strong Set boar, Williams with some remnants of Cremo, and close the the last of the Nivea Cooling balm. Very smooth, near BBS.
I bought the lathering Cremo from Target. It is a mixed bag. It does lather, but more of a foam then anything else. The Sandalwood scent is just OK, and not bad. The slickness is great like typical Cremo. As much as I credit the non-lathering Cooling cream as the product that made me look into DE's and take the jump because it made me enjoy shaving, I can't recommend this soap. It is only average. I wanted it to be more then what it actually is. Steve
Cool pic Doug! The buildings in the background and the waterfall next to the bridge reminds me of a town I lived in while in Germany. Great looking setting!

Thanks. I'm a bit nervous since I read this is aggressive and I need to go to an important offsite meeting early tomorrow morning, but I'm game. I also can't waiting to try. The razor really cleaned up great. Steve
Fatboy February!!!!! Still playing around. February 22 Razor - Delta Echo Steampunk Gillette New LC Blade - (2) Soap - Tabac Brush - Jayaruh #46 Post - Alum Well since the Delta Echo is loaded up with a German Wilkie I decided to stick with it for another day or two. Hate to waste a good German blade. And, I haven't given the JR46 a shot at Tabac yet, nor Arko. So, tonight is Tabac, tomorrow will be the Arko stick for the full face lather with no pre-load. I thought I had found a problem tonight as the lather went on rather sticky and dry. I dipped the brush and then loaded off of the Tabac. Seemed about right but it was dry. I dipped the loaded brush in a little bit of water and it was better, but the first pass was still a bit sticky and dry. I went ahead before the second pass and dipped the brush a bit more and let it sit just a few seconds in the water, went to the face to lather and WHAMMO!! There it was. The Tabac came alive and was slick and thick. Wow. Just gotta get the water right and this brush seems to do it all. Second pass was awesome. The first hadn't been horrible, just dry lather. This one was the bomb. I hesitate to say I caught the baby but....I'm still feeling to make sure.....the baby is in the room. The New LC seems to love the Wilkinson. Alum was just a touch hot in a few places on my neck but nothing to worry about. Hit just a touch of Tabac Cologne to give the wife a treat and that's another fine shave in the books.
