Thursday's Shave Keep It Simple Shave Week Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #303 AutoStrop B2 Treet CS SE CWR Clubman Pinaud My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #303 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the AutoStrop B2 Razor with a Treet CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hi guys! Tell me what you think of this setup: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Derby day 5 Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Osage Rub AS Splash Drakkar Noir EdT A shave from Paradise - so BBS and FRIGID from this Glacial Black Cherry soap. The Rubby Dubby Doo felt so cold and invigorating as well!
July 16th and 17th - NIGHT SHAVES with my revamped Barbasol Floating Head Razor by Chris Evatt... The brush is "Skully El Capitan" by the great Brent Jacobson --> Here are some close ups of the BARBASOL FLOATING HEAD RAZOR - AKA "THE BARBIE" -->
I'm glad to see you used Drakkar Noir. I don't know why, but DN appears to be getting a rap of "ahhhh, no one uses that anymore....we're on to Creed!". I certainly have nothing against Creed products, but....if no one uses DN anymore, why is it still around, eh? No one uses Original Rise Shaving Cream anymore, and we all know why...it isn't around anymore :-(((.
July 18th - Wednesday Night Shave.. Brush = "Skully El Capitan" by Brent Jacobson Razor - GEM Damaskeene with a custom handle made by ROD GEORGE OGALLALA BAY RUM & SANDLEWOOD !!! splash and soap puck, Ogallala has many great bay rum scents - I have bay & vanilla, and Bay & sage - but there bay rum and sandlewood is there BEST!!! and also the strongest scent - my bathroom was filled with the wonderful scent last night. The Damaskeene with a Fresh PAL SUPER Blade just NEVER dissapoints - total perfection! peace - Jamie
Sorry, Paul but you got me on that one, I`m completely in the dark. As for pivoting heads, I would much rather use my F2 Fat Boy, or my Gillette SS flare , or my Gillette 40s era Gillette tech, or several other `Real Razors`, but I`m being reduced to something I can handle with my disability. Please clarify ...." pivoting heads COMPLETE me". Bill

Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: S_J Panga Panga 26mm ST Soap: The Sudsy Soapery Lavender & Peppermint Razor: ATT Calypso (on loan) Blade: Schick Proline P Post: Cold water rinse, Lea Classic ASL First of all, this is a beautiful razor, don't judge her by my poor snapshot. After looking at her admiringly, I was surprised at how light it was when I eventually picked her up. I know, I know, aluminium is light but she looks so substantial it still caught me unawares. The shave was very good, two and a half passes to get a dfs and not a peep from the alum block, a very good first impression indeed. Happy Shaving one and all.

Here's tomorrow's shave plan, in document form: Essentially the same as today(Chiseled Face double-header, same razor). As I don't like to use the same brush on back-to-back days, I'll go with the Stoylin li'l brudder).
