    Cold Water Rinse
    Vintage Life Morning TOST
    Jayaruh #30
    Russian SHaDE Razor
    Personna Half Blade
    Schick Repeating Type C
    Schick Proline B-20
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Vintage Life Morning TOST face lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Brush. I did two passes today using two different razors. I used the Russian SHaDE Razor with a Personna Half Blade on the right side and the Schick Repeating Type C razor with a Schick Proline blade on the left side and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. The Russian SHaDE razor did very well. It is nimble and very easy to use. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Outstanding shave today, the first of 2020 for me. The Model T tool down three days growth without a hint of irritation. I continue to be impressed with how smooth and efficient this razor performs. Beaudelaire is one of my favorite scents, and one I will refill when these are used up.

    Friday:
    hot shower w/Old Spice soap on a rope
    Maggards Grapefruit PSO
    Schick I Type 3 passes
    Schick (2)
    Old Spice soap in a warm mug
    Old Spice boar
    Thayers Unscented witch hazel
    alum block
    Old Spice A/S Lotion

    Decided to make today an Old Spice day.

    I got fooled by my I Type with only 2 shaves on the blade. It was so slippery smooth that I didn't respect the blade and gave myself a couple of weepers. I caught the baby but paid for it a bit.

    BTW, I smell fabulous.

    Today is your last chance, for quite some time, to see a decent picture.
    And last night, for me, was the last chance, for quite some time, to spoil myself: a simple but cholesterologically demanding dinner!

    Shaving wise... it's a story with an announced conclusion: soap is mechanically excellent and appreciating its scent is subjective!
