SoS Sept. 22-28

I read all you reviews champ! You're the original!

 

TJ in da house

Decent shave tonight, kind of rushed and wasn't used to the Valobra Methol soap......it lathered great but didn't seem like it was providing enough slip I haven't used it a lot though so maybe I need more practice....

Thursday:

Omega Silvertip
Weishi Chrome/new Treet Dura Sharp
Italian Palmolive Menthol S/C
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Vifrex A/S gel
Acqua di Selva cologne

I find the Treet Dura Sharp in a Weishi is a little too mild for my beard type, so tomorrow, it'll be a Sharp, or a 7 AM. Still, a pretty good shave!

 

thanks, bro!

Thursday, September 25, 2008
Start with Hot Shower, Olay Botonical Fusion Body Wash (Ginger & Bergamot), Head & Shoulders Citrus Shamp/Cond 2 in 1
Razor: Merkur 33c
Blade: Derby Extra (Day 2) Ugh!
Brush: Tweezerman Badger (still some shedding!)
Soap: none today
Cream: Kiss My Face Moisture Shave Key Lime (I love! this cream)
Toner: Dickinson Witch Hazel
ASB: Burt's Bees
Cologne: Burt's Bees

I am dropping the Alba Moisturizing Shave Cream (Coconut Lime) and the Burt's Bees Shave Cream from my rotation. They just don't lather. I guess they are not supposed to. I am also dropping the Herban Cowboy and the Old Dominion Lime & Ginger Soaps. No staying power in either puck.

Instead of my usual Hugo Naturals Mexican Lime & Bergamot Soap I used the Olay Botonical Fusion Body Wash (Ginger & Bergamot) in my shower. The Olay worked well and smelled good, but I still prefer the smell of the Hugo.

The Morning Shave

• [*]Prep: Hot Towel
  [*]Razor: Frankentech
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (shave 3)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner
  [*]EDT: SCS Smoke & Beads EDT
  
  [*]Result: No need to lather today. Got such a close shave yesterday I only needed to use the Oil Pass to get a BBS shave. Great thing for a day on the road. No blood today again.

The Evening Shave

• [*]Prep: Rite Aide Cleansing Skin Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: SCS Very V

  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (shave 3)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Nivea Sensitive ASB
  
  [*]Result: Shaved this evening so I could sleep a bit longer in the morning. Good BBS shave but a bit of irritation found. Must be the second shave of the day that caused it. The Nivea seemed to help a bit. No blood again today.
