Tuesday morning's planned action: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 2 Stirling Gin & Tonic on the Rocks S/S Lucky Tiger A/S Cream Stirling Glacial Wintergreen W/H Givenchy Pour Homme EdT This Gin & Tonic OTR soap blew me away when I used it for the first time last week. I knew I'd love it but I never thought I'd love it this much. The scent is so refreshing, the lather is perfection, and it's pretty damn cold - easily as cold as the regular MITA. Its skincare is fantastic as well, just like all Stirling products. It's hard to be the Lucky Tiger a/s cream because it's so good and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel is a great way to really boost the freeze!

Prep - shower Pre - Badger Balm pre-shave oil Brush - Maggard 24mm purple handle synthetic Razor - Boss Razors All Metal DE Blade - Astra SP (2) Soap - C.O. Bigelow Post - Alum, Thayer's Rose WH, AV 5-in-1 balm AS - Proraso Green Splash Frag - none The Boss Razors DE is a new acquisition. I really like the handle, but the head isn't as nice as some of the other razors that I have used. The C.O. Bigelow was a really nice way to cool down this morning.

Auto-Strop VC1 Razor Feather FHS-10 Stainless Blade Hardright Badger Brush (restored) Proraso Green Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel Barbasol Brisk After Shave Went with the Feather Stainless blade that I received from @wchnu and comparing it to the Feather carbon blade I used before. To me it felt almost the same, but smoother and sharper. It took care of my whiskers a bit better and had a fine two pass with touch up BBS shave.
I refreshed a backlog of razors a couple of nights ago. This John Clarke has been one of my favorites but the last shave wasn't up to snuff. I took it back to the 3 micron lapping film, then 1 micron, and then a little time on the Arkie. It's back in business. First time with the Mike's Hungarian Lavender. I'm liking these soaps from Mike's.

Good picture with a beautiful brush Guy. Not a bad looking bowl also. I'm really like both my TDG bowls.
