Saturday morning - something new: Nivea Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 6 Rockwell SS Lubriderm Moisturizer Booster Polar Ice AS Splash This is a Canadian-made soap which my father-in-law bought me and he says it's pretty good. I like the scent of it so far and I can't wait to see how it performs. I love that Polar Ice aftershave so much! Note: this new soap is Rockwell, not Gordon!
SOTD 1.12.2018 Face & Head Shave Pre-shave: hot shower and Nivea Men Sensitive Face Wash Brush: Omega Boar 10049 Soap: VDH Luxury Razor: Gillette Fatboy E-4 (set at #9) Blade: Feather (4 or 5) Post-shave: Dickinson's Original WH, Afta Original AS Skin Conditioner, Brut AS
I can shave with most razors......but the R41 is particularly difficult for me I have probably used it less than 10 times in all the years I have owned it! Good to know there is still hope for me!
Jeeves Bay Rum, 30 DC LE Cashmere Cypress, Suribachi and warm water '59 Fat Boy (E-4) - number 9 & Feather Hi-Stainless blade Pinaud Special Reserve AS Cologne
I assume it smells the same; Indiana Jones's Jacket? It was suggested that the plastic bottles were not the best place to keep Pinaud products, so I moved mine to glass right after I got it. Exposure to sunlight could affect the color.
For Saturday's shave, I might as well essay it out, since my post-shave today was a disaster(my fault only): prep-Dove Care + Men Bodywash shave-Local&Gent Shaving Co. Fields&Streams brush-WSP Pure Badger razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE A.S.-Stirling Sandpiper w/Menthol
The 2011 R41 is, imo, the MOST unforgiving DE razor that I have ever used. I have heard tell of other very aggressive DE's, but I don't have any personal experience with the others. Angle and pressure are everything with the R41. Until I got used to it, it didn't matter what blade I used. It's not my daily driver, but if I have skipped a shave day, it's an absolute winner!

January 12,2018 Friday Razor: RR Hawk Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (12) Pre Shave Oil: Homemade Brush:VDH Badger Lather: Proraso Green AS: Aqua Velva/ Afta Newspaper Date: Dec. 9,1943 Finally worked up enough nerve to use a razor without a pivot head. The Hawk is, in my opinion one of the finest single edge razors on the market today, thanks to PickledNorthern for this beautiful gift. A2 pass shave,WTG/ATG with the normal amount of clean up, resulting in a fantastic shave, smooth, clean and close. I`m thinking BBS all the way. My 5 `o clock shadow won`t show until about 8 tonight (I shaved this morning at 7). A happy Camper wishing for the to all. God Bless. Bill
Wonderful shave this morning use a GEM push button .. love the soap by DG as well as the brush by Stirling ... surely was an enjoyable shave to start the day
Soap: Henri et Victoria (Cognac and Cuban Cigars) Blade: Feather Razor: Feather AS/D2 Brush: Leo Frilot AS: Henri et Victoria (Cognac and Cuban Cigars) I achieved a BBS today. It was the first time I used this brush and the first time using Henri et Victoria. The brush preformed great I am very happy with it. The soap and AS are great lather and slickness I give it a 9. The scent is a 7 in my book just because I wish it lasted longer. All around today's shave was very enjoyable. Semper Fi
