1/9/08

Prep: usual business - OCM in the shower with face/beard massage
Cream: Wars - 1st time using...very nice
Brush: Penchetta Penworks Silvertip
Razor: 1912 Gem Travel
Blade: Ted Pella Gem - day 1
After: Thayer's Alcohol Free Original Witch Hazel, TSD AS Milk 4711 Type

Result: Very nice shave, just a small bit of lingering burn...

 

Friday:

Omega Silvertip
Weishi Chrome/new Super Max
Proraso Green S/S
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Anherb A/S conditioner
Musgo Real Oakmoss cologne

The only reason I'm using this Proraso bowl is because it was a birthday gift. I detest this stuff--it always makes my skin feel dry. Thank God for the Anherb--it really does my skin with pride, and delivers a nice end to a shave.

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
1943 style Aristocrat/ feather
Dr Harris Marlborough SS
Alford&Hoff Moisterizer
Storer 'Monk' EdP

Nice using the DR Harris again after having run out recently. Hehe, a couple tiny upper lip weepers that closed up after a cold water rinse....chalk it up to overconfidence. Did I mention this is a pretty aggressive combo? Other than that, a BBS shave.

I'm really enjoying the shaves I've been getting with the Japanese straights.

 

I didn't get a picture with the NEW head on it, I was just saying see above about the description of the razor. It looked ugly, gold head on silver and wood handle, but it shaved very well. This is the handle I made though:
