Morning everyone.

This week is:

Merkur 500 Progress Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor Chrome
Derby Double Edged Razor Blades
Shavemac 23mm Custom Nickel Blue Silvertip Badger Fan Shaped Shave Brush
Institut Karite 25% Shea Butter Shave Soap

Going to try and go through the boxes this week and see what goodies I can dig up. Since everything is home now, I need to set up a current rotation and mothball or sell the some stuff. No room! I know I have some top shelf stuff hidden in there I haven't done justice to.

 

Tuesday

This is my 4th shave with this brush and it continues to shed, I have lost about 20 hairs so far. I lost 8 hairs right out of the tube just checking it out. Not real happy with Edwin Jagger brushes.

Second shave on the yellow-box 7 o'clock. I think there's a reason they're called SharpEdge -- I had to dial the Futur way down for this blade.

Tuesday 3/17

• Penchetta Penworks Silvertip
• Palmolive Menthol Cool S/C
• Gillette Slim (4)
• Gillette 7OCB
• Thayer's Alcohol Free Original
• Anherb Gel
• EdT(C?) - Knize 10

Result: I'm getting a headache. It could be the lack of coffee for today, it could be the Knize 10, sometimes "colognes" do that to me. The Palmolive Menthol Cool was very cooling - I wonder if it's the same one crackstar had mentioned the other day as the scent was not very good. A bit like cardboard? Not horrible, but not good either. Very cooling though, and great protection and skin care. A very smooth, comfortable BBS shave. I can't stop faceturbating....

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Brevete/ Dorco301
MWF
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdT

This wasn't my finest morning shave......sigh. Three days in a row is the limit for this razor, since noticing my face can't take the aggressive nature for longer than that.

Yeah, a couple weepers that went away fast, and my face didn't feel like it should when finished. Was a bit painful in a few spots, and felt a little tight. I also think the overconfident bug bit me a little, and it hoited (NY slang for hurt) me a little. You know, like in "Don't hoit da boids".

Well, that razor goes back in the box for a while. Fatboy wonderfulness on tap for tomorrow.

Not all shaves can be gems.............
