    Ever-Ready Shovelhead
    Dorco Prime Platinum DE (2)
    Stirling Executive Man
    Satin Tip The Purest

    Anther MAYhem shave is in the books using a DE blade in the shovelhead. The shave was smooth and efficient even though I managed to give myself a weeper under my lower lip. The other issue with using a DE blade in the shovelhead is that you ruin the second side of the blade when you close the cap because the clasp rubs against the edge. The shaves are close but not as close with a Gem blade and there is a lot of chatter with the blade as well. Overall a neat experiment that was a success! Have a great day everyone!

    well, I hope I did Perry :). I'm just hoping there's enough menthol doc Ezlovan added to make it comfortable. But even so, it's a great scent.

    Wednesday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Nivea Men Face Wash
    Col Conk Bay Rum Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #168
    Rockwell 6C
    Rockwell Swedish Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    The Col Conk Bay Rum Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #168 Synthetic brush. Using the R3 plate, I did two passes with the Rockwell 6C razor and Rockwell Swedish Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Hard to say, the scents were similar. TSD signature has bergamot while, Sara's smelled like ogalla, but stronger. The texure of Sara's is rich and yogurty. Both are nice, I feel Sara's is creamier.

    Langlois was sold by Rexall Pharmacy. I believe it is pre 1963. It has great slickness and I think it is tallow based.
