Hi todays SOTD- Hardware- Parker 87R TTO. Persona Platinum Chrome blade. Chi-Comm Silvertip brush. Software- Trumpers GFT shave cream. Pinaud Clubman as splash. Nivea post shave balm, (pictured, but not used. ) Today's shave went fairly well even though I'm having a difficult day. It is nice that amidst trials and tribulations, a good shave, can make me feel better. A lot of the time the wondrous scents and performance of quality shave creams and soaps is all a person has that is enjoyable in a day. Today is one of those days. But, at least I had a good shave. Stay/be Blessed people! You never know when the worm will turn. Have a good day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 6,2017 Monday Razor: Personna Flexhead Blade: Gillette Twinjector (13) Pre Shave: Homemade Brush: VDH Badger Lather: Proraso Green AS: Aqua Velva Musk Having problems with the new time, wish they would leave it alone, I can`t see that much benefit, anyway I received another great shave. I was going to try something different today, but everything revolves around whether my meds calm my tremors or not, I felt like I needed the flex again today so I`ll try again tomorrow. The Twinjector blade is like the pink bunny(just keeps on going) A 2 pass, WTG/ATG with clean ups between each pass seems to be the procedure that works best for this combination. God Bless and wishes for great shaves for all. Bill

Tuesday's shave, in sentence form: I'll be featuring Stoylin Barbershop and Clubman-it will open with Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Energy)in the shower, then proceed to the Barbershop soap, slathered on with my Stoylin "li'l brudder" synthetic brush. I go to my usual Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE razor for presumably 2 passes, then will finish off with a cold water rinse and Clubman Original A.S.
I had a wonderful shave with the RazoRock Ti Baby Smooth, used a Polsilver SI blade (2). The blue soaps is very easy to lather, the blue aftershave is awesome.
For Tuesday morning: Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed+Astra day 2 Mickey Lee Paradise Frost SS Lucky Tiger AS Cream Italian Barber Amici AS Splash Givenchy Gentleman EdT I'll be going sort of easy with the menthol for this shave - the Paradise Frost is a lovely soap with a mild cooling effect. The Amici is also great, but it's not a face-freezer.
