ST PATRICK'S DAY SOTD
17 March 2017
Pre: A lot of hot water
Razor: EJ DE89BL
Blade: Shark Super Chrome
Brush: Omega 6212 Silvertip
Cream: Proraso Green
Post: Hot/cold water rinse, alum block, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer
After Shave: Proraso Green splash
Prop: AnaLee Leprechaun Mouse
I ended the week the way I started, with a menthol kick. Proraso was the only thing in my den that was green, so the 6212 whipped up the cream into another great lather, and the DE89BL/Shark combo came through again. Patted some Green splash on and away to work. To my fellow Denizens of Irish decent have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

TGIF Shave......

Tabac stick lathered w/Duke 2 Best
'79 Super Adjustable paired w/a Pol-Silver SI blade
Witch hazel, nivea ASB finishing w/a splash of Floid

2-passes for an outstanding shave!

 

Day 22 of 30 days of straights

I managed a BBS this morning with no cuts and 2 weepers. I am getting better at not slicing my own neck, but I am still struggling to avoid the weepers. Straight razors have a much steeper learning curve, IMHO, than do DEs.

30mm High Mountain White set an extra 10mm deep

The Shave Den aftershave milk Windsor
I wanted something a bit different for st pattys day shave. Windsor nailed it. NEW to me razor, the barbasol FH may be the perfect de razor, its like the r41 and a superspeed had a baby. Aggressive but so truely agile. I'm shaved perfectly bbs. Finished with a double tap of kolonia and windsor.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Started with vintage twins, finished with a fresh Personna, two passes plus a little ATG clean up for a nice BBS. I'm not going to pay large for Twins.

Happy St. Patrick's Day All!
Lots of tobacco goodness this morning. Love the scent of the RR Puros. The soap lathers up easily. Great cushion & glide. The Shark blade is doing well. I normally change out blades after Saturday's shave and get 7 quality shave out of the blades in my rotation (Astra SP, Personna Red, Rapira LUX, Voskhod). The Shark has to give me 4 more good, tug free shaves if it wants entry into my blade lair.

Soap: RazoRock Puros
Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic
Razor: RazoRock German 37 Slant
Blade: Shark (3)
After Shave: RazoRock Puros

Blade: Persona blue medical
Soap: Cella
Post: Dickenson's menthol crystal spiked witch hazel
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

I have the Puros soap but haven't used it yet. Looking forward to trying it. Maybe I'll pick up the splash as well if the soap works well for me. I love tobacco scents.

 

The Puros splash is long lasting too. As a bonus SWMBO likes it as well.

 

Got a '71 SA-109 that I love. Pair it up with a Voskhod and it's killer.

Swimming with the dolphins again, boy is this fun. An easy 2 pass, WTG (Hawk)/ATG (G4) and clean-up. A couple little weepers with the G4 on clean-up. That "Chick" is really sharp, you gotta watch every move. This is one happy Camper wishing the best shave for all. God Bless.
