Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: Wee Scot BB Soap: Cyril R. Salter Tallow Razor: Schick I1 Blade: Schick Twin Post: Cold water rinse, Floid Mentolado Vigoroso AS I don't really know how the Schick Twin blade works, does one blade cut close and the other closer still, or as modern speil puts it, the first blade pulls the hair out for the second blade to cut? What I do know is, it gives a very close, if somewhat boring shave. The Wee Scot is calming down and beginning to show me its true character, how can such a diminutive brush generate and release so much lather? Have a great Sunday.

Unconditional Sunday Not such a great shave today. I think this blade has aged quickly. I got a couple weepers while taking down two days growth with the Vision.

SE Sunday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Colgate Shaving Mug Soap Jayaruh #144 Badger Darwin Hollow Ground Safety Razor Darwin Hollow Ground CWR Thayer's Lemon WH English Leather I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 badger brush. I did two passes with the Darwin Hollow Ground Safety Razor with a Darwin Hollow Ground blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... This was my first shave with the Darwin. I found the blade a bit tuggy, but it did the job of providing a quality shave with no nicks, cuts, or irritation. I have put it through both the hone and strop for tomorrow's shave. There are two blades, and I gave both the treatment. I will be using the Darwin through Thursday when I will send it back to @twhite. Thanks, Tom, for the experience.
Sun. 4/22/18 Good morning friends. Excellent three pass shave today with the Muhle R41 loaded with a Ladas. Excellent lather from the Palmolive shave stick. I finished with Brut... Smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️
Wonderful shave with the RazoRock Game Changer w/Barber Pole handle. Keyhole brush is a great value, Amici!! And TFS Kathmandu soap and edp. Feel good. Look good. Wet shaving.
22 April 2018 Tried Coates Tea Tree cream this morning for the first time. I suspect that because of its age, the scent is very faint. The performance is fine although a tad more water is required compared to say Proraso or Derby creams. Again, I'll attribute that to its age. Very slick, cushioned lather. Nice post shave feel. I have a few more flavors to try and if the scents are weak, I'll take performance over scent any day. I may ride this combo all week.

Sunday, April 22 Tabac~~Paladin~~Gillette~~Wilkinson Light Brigade (Final Shave) Crummy picture, great shave. Have a great day!
Sunday April 22, 2018 Razor: Personna Floating Head Blade: Gillette TwinJector (1) Lather Gillette Foamy AS: Mennen afta With the canned lather, I had to do a lot more touching up than normal to achieve what I wanted. A 2pass shave, WTG/ATG and like I said a lot of clean up, I guess it`s back to Proraso. The TwinJector blade does cut slicker and cleaner than almost everything else (for me anyway). With a cold water rinse and a liberal amount of " afta", I`m refreshed and good to go. Very satisfied with the end result. God Bless. Bill
