This was my first ever DE razor and I still love it. I prefer my adjustables now, but always go back to my DE89 from time to time.

Thank you, Chris

Thanks. It's still one of my favorite razors too. However, as hard as I try, I can't pin down 'The Favorite' title to any one razor. I see you used a Mergress today. When I use my Mergress I usually think it is my favorite. When I use a different great razor I think it's a favorite too. I have the straight Merkur Progress Adjustable also.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #466 Synthetic
Yaqi Adjustable
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The Musgo Real Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #466 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Yaqi Adjustable razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning - a Syrian style shave:

Hot shower and two hot towels
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 5
Hamol SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
Aramis EdT

Man oh man is this Hamol cream ever awesome - as I said before it’s from Syria and very popular in barbershops over there. It has a very nice scent that’s very similar to Williams soap, it lathers wonderfully, it has a bit of a menthol sensation, and it gives such a soothing, comfortable postshave feeling that the Prep really enhances. The Polar Ice aftershave has that beautiful old school barbershop scent that I love so much - the wife was giggling when she kissed me before leaving for work and said “See you later Grandpa!” Finally the beautiful Aramis fragrance and everything is in order. Three passes delivered a super duper BBS shave that was such a pleasure. As they say in barbershops in the Middle East, NA’IMAN which literally means “May you be blissful.”

Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

Thanks. Your dad had great taste. I like it a lot too. Do you think it really was the "original " eau de cologne?
