14 August, Friday

Gem Micromatic
Rooney 3/1 "Super"
Tabac SS
L'Occitane Vetyver EDT

The Gem cut very closely, but I think this blade is at the end of it's useful life. Got a few weepers.

Should I keep the metal spine? Haha.

 

Haven't been changing up my shaves much the last couple weeks, we have had guests in our guest room/bathroom, which happens to be the shave den...

This week has been a combination of these goodies:

1901 Lather Catcher w/Pella
Open Comb Slant w/ 7 O'clock Sharp Edge
Short Handle Super Adjustable

Knotty Badger Best

TSD Lime soap
TSD Bourbon Vanilla soap-cream
Erasmic shave stick

Wesley and Scott Lime
TSD Tommy Bahama Type ASM

 

Thursday night, still in the hotel (tomorrow is the last night):
Weishi w/Dorco 301
Omega Travel Boar
Arko Stick
Alum Block
TSD Bergamot Splash

The Omega boar is really breaking in and performing great. It was just OK the first shave, but is performing like a real champ now that it's got a good number of split hairs. Great LITTLE brush.

 

Friday - Viernes

Mühle r106+RIP
Plisson blaireau noir #10
Plisson SS
Polo Blue ASB
Polo Blue EDT

 

Friday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/Derby day 2
Kupa Fresh-SC
Diana Mentholated-AS balm
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial-Menthol splash
Brut-cologne

Another work of art of a shave with a great blade/razor combination, and a cream that smells delightful and lathers unbelievably well. It has no menthol in it, but the Diana balm and Alcolado Glacial both have the Arctic freeze effect that I enjoy so much!

 

FRIDAY
XIV AUGUST
'9.

Wash: MWF
Razor: Super Adj.
Blade: Big Ben
Cream: Menthol
Brush: Omega 10077
Splash: AV Blue
Finish: Joop!

...

Haven't used my Gillette Menthol SC, Lebanese, in ages.

I don't think any mentholated cream or soap touches Proraso when it comes to scent and performance.

What's more, while other products may provide a colder blast, Proraso still feels the best.
