Schick G4 razor Personna blade Shave Revolution synthetic brush Stirling Margarita's in the Artic SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne A fine Friday shave that enjoyed very much. The Stirling MITA SS is wonderful, lathers so easily and is freezing cold. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks
The reason I asked is my fondness for woody scented AS. I think that your description of the scent is very good. Gives me a perspective that I can imagine how it smells. Sounds interesting. Thanks!
The way it is for Saturday: prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Energy) shave-Gilette Foamy Menthol razor-Pivot Nation from Gillette Sensor Deuce DisposeABLE A.S.-Gillette Series Cool Wave Splash
Bulldog face wash Omega pro49 TOBS Sandalwood Gillette Tech Astra SP A little alum, and Nivea sensitive Post Shave Balm A good shave. Two passes with touch ups. Definitely reduced irritation by removing a pass but managed to keep it smooth by doing one WTG, then one (mostly) ATG. There are some areas I still can't do ATG which get a pass across instead. Feel just about ready to give up on my 30 days as I feel I have learned a lot about using my Tech and I'm getting back to back DFS shaves. Since I have 2 new razors arriving ( and then hopefully no more !) it's time to move onto a different one I think. I have had the Schick Krona the longest so may attempt a month with that, or I have my 50's super speed to try. HD rocket may be a step too far...
Today's shave was with a newly acquired, and honed wedge razor, from Olean NY. I had a very very sharp and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS, and with a couple of weepers. I didn't know they were there, until the aftershave went on. I guess I did a few too many strokes on the Arkansas Surgical Black Stone. Too Sharp. These Union Cutlery "Spike Razors", are a beautifully built and a perfectly balanced razor, that can take on an edge, sharper than is needed. Razor- Union Cutlery Co. "Spike". True Wedge razor. Brush- Omega 10098 Boar Soap- Arko/Rose Scented Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. NOS Admiral Decanter. Take that @Douglas Carey . I had to wipe off the dust from the box.
Wowser! I saved the PAL Injecto-Matic aka “The Schick Buster” until after I completed the trifecta of the Schick D, E1, and F. If you’ve never shaved with a PAL IM you owe it to yourself to get one. While the H aka “The Hussy”can take the PAL IM down in a shave-off it is hands-down one of the best shaves you can get. Keeping a very, very light, the lightest of touches, is the key.

The Arko Extra Performance Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #216 synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Lee Mfg. 5/8 razor and cleaned up with my Schick G and a Personna Stainless blade. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Clubman Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
