17 January 2018 Decided to change it up this morning. However, shave #7 on the Polsilver is still amazing. Effortless 2 pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave. Going to shoot for 10 shaves before I switch razors on Sunday the 21st. Cream: Proraso White Brush: Semogue 620 boar Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (7) Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Vanilla
Wednesday Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Baker Street Soap: Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest Razor: Gillette “Black Beauty” Super Adjustable Blade: Vintage Schick Plus Platinum (Shave #20) Brush: Honey Farm Designs/TGN Premium Silvertip-24mmx50mm Aftershave: Country Club Frozen Vetiver WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard) Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the Honey Farm Designs/TGN Premium Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver aftershave. Bob
1/16/2018 - SOTN Great shave with the Colonial General [Aluminum]. The Cella pre gel is amazing - best pre shave Jelly I have tried - very slick. The after shave lotion is also very moisturizing for a alcohol splash. Now the weird thing is that Cella decided to not give these products there classic SCENT from the soap - these products have a strong Barbershop/Cologne type of scent - so it would not go well with there soap (with there soap i only use PAA Chella Cool)... Finally received my 30 mm YAQI brush - 13 bucks and a beast..

Thursday morning: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 4 Williams Menthol SC Gold Bond Moisturizer Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash This Williams Menthol cream is a delight. The only reason I don't use it too often is because it's the only tube I have and I have no way to get any others. This Fougere Santal aftershave from Reef Point is one of the nicest I have - my wife has great taste. It was she who bought it for me!
