Dec 16th Decedent December Menthol Monday Razor: Gillette Toggle Blade: Polsilver (3) Brush: Omega S-Brush 10019 PS & AS: Proraso Green SS: Chiseled Face Cryogen Great shave this morning. Perhaps a little too close. The Alum stung a little but no real irritation otherwis. I will need to watch it tomorrow. The next day seems where these boarderline problems show up. Cryogen is not a good soap for cool mornings. My wife came in and let all the nice warm steamy air out of my shave den... I think my nose got frostbite.
A good shave nonetheless, Daniel! Beautiful shot Jim! I'm glad today's shave was better! Excellent shave Terry! Very nice Joe! I'm normally not a fan of woodsy scents but I quite like Christmas Eve! Wonderful shave Jeff and gorgeous Black Beauty! Fantastic shave Gary! The Green Tuxedo looks great! Awesome shave, Clint! Sounds like a busy weekend. Fantastic photo, Jim! Safe travels, Perry! The shaver in black!! Very nice Danny! Beautiful setup Mark! Awesome photo and setup, Joseph!
DEcember 16th Canadian prewar Tech APShaveCo SynBad/Poculi Sudsy Soapery Jack Frost Thayers Maol Heliopteris AS Just an OK shave early this morning. A nice lather from this never ending soap, but ended up swapping blades halfway through the first pass. The Voskhod was on its 3rd shave and that should have been fine, but it was very pully and dull. Swapped out to an Astra that was under the sink and everything returned to normal. Interesting. Had 45 hrs growth or so, but that shouldn't have made a big difference. I like this splash, but when I walked into my son's room to wake him up, all I heard was 'What smells?'. Insolent youth. Have a great day all!
Jim, an injured thumb will take your mind off all the drywall that fell down... Nice photo as always, Daniel. Good idea- coming right back with the same gear to eliminate the variables...a true 30DC approach, Jim! You even change out GEM blades daily, Terry? Very interesting. They are obviously thicker and I thought you'd get a few more days from one. A new soap! You must be very, very happy about that Joe. Fwiw, I like a Super Adjustable set at 7 as well, Jeff. Love the simple '48 as well. I have a few in handles as there was a sale a few years ago that had them cheaper than even the plain handled '49s. I thought you didn't own a green brush, Gary? Simply wonderful colour accents again. Am I nuts (please don't answer that...) or did your LE not have a boar knot in it? Lovely greenery, Clint. It is getting cold here now and the grass has lost its greenery. Great photo effect, Jim! Yup, I hear you on the electrical... Safe travels, Perry! Great photo, Danny! You could also use some Noir in there, too... Love that Hive everytime you show it, Joseph! Should we call you Bobby McGee? Yup, we have medallians in the dining room, living room and upstairs landing. SWMBO has spoken... we also used to have textured ceilings everywhere and now we don't have many left. THAT is the worst job ever... I love the descriptions of Cryogen, Evan! The toggle isn't too shabby, either.
SOTD Decadent December 16th Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Yaqi Knight-Helmet Zorrik Super Platinum Stirling Butterscotch Fan (24mm, Frigate Class) SP Dottie lather bowl Stirling Iced Pineapple soap and AS I had two first use products and a decadent favorite in my lineup today. First use of the Yaqi Knight helmet head. This is one menacing looking head, it has a huge blade gap and blade edge looks like it sticks out well past the guard. I loaded a new Zorrik Super Platinum blade and spent a good time making sure I had a super slick lather. A couple of careful strokes with the razor and I learned that I had nothing to fear. This razor does have a definite blade feel to it but it was not harsh at all. The Zorrik was a nice surprise also, plenty sharp and smooth cutting. This combo made for a really decadent shave and man-o-man can that Knight helmet deliver. Three passes to a face rubbing BBS shave. A generous splash of Iced Pineapple to keep the face freeze going with a scent that brings a smile to my face. What a great start to the week! Have a great day my friends!

I've learned a thing or two hanging out with you guys. I figured it was the blade but it was also my first use of Zingari Man. Their new tallow base is good stuff.
