Friday morning: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 5 Stirling Black Ice SS Lucky Tiger AS Cream Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash The Black Ice soap is what I call the "junior Obsidian" because even though it's pretty cold and the black licorice scent is very similar, it only has about 1/4 of the menthol power. Same great lather and skincare, however. Love that Lucky Tiger balm, and Madame always showers me with kisses when I wear the Fougere Santal aftershave - she bought it for me!

"These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" I'm using the EMS/Personna blades in the Schick Improved Injector (F type)...This is one razor that really makes these Personna Blades shine! Super Smooth and Super Close Performance....One of my top tier all-time favorite combos!!

In my humble opinion...those Perma-Sharp Supers are the single best DE blade in the World!! Or at least the best by far, of all the DE blades that I have tried....And EVERY Turkish Barber that I ever saw during the couple of decades that I spent much time in Turkey...They all would only use those blades in their Shavettes!! I'm either full blown SE shaving aswell as a Schick-head these days...but the only thing I sometimes miss about DE shaving are those Perma Sharps...I have a few cartons just incase the shavacalypce hits...}8^))
Friday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap Jayaruh #206 Gillette Aristocrat Personna Super CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Aqua Velva Ice Blue My newly replated Gillette Aristocrat arrived today. This will be my first shave with it since its facelift. I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Aristocrat with a Personna Super SS blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
