Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/Sharp day 3
Karo Fresh-SC :happy108 :love008 :love008
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Anherb-AS gel
Azzaro Pour Homme-EDT

Another delightful shave this morning with a Bulgarian cream that is absolutely fantastic. Although the menthol is not strong, it's still very much there, and it wakes you up real good. The Anherb gel magnifies it very well, and leaves the skin feeling so good!

 

Maybe I'll try with it one more time, just to see if this time it'll work for me good. Colgate soap? Daddy has some, and he likes it, but Burma soap, we both don't like.

 

SATURDAY

Saturday, Sep. 12th

Prep: Hot shower
Cream: Tom's of Maine
Brush: Omega 49 - really handles the stiffness of Tom's very well
Razor: Gillette Sheraton
Blade: Lord, shave #3 - seems to get better with each shave
Rinse: Cold tap water followed by an ice water splash
Post: Clinique Post Shave Soother
Cologne: Brut Splash-On
Coffee: Home-roasted Kenya

I'm really liking Tom's. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. I had tried their toothpaste and hated it, so I was very reluctant to try their shave cream. My loss! Anybody have any they want to get rid of?

 

Saturday 9/12 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: The Ever Roddy 300
  [*]Cream: TOBS Shave Shop
  [*]Razor: '11 GEM Jr - Lather Catcher
  [*]Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated SE (shave 5)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & True Gentlemen Lavender After Shave Balm
  [*]EDT: SCS Aspect EDT
  
  [*]Result: WOW! The TOBS Shave Shop does smell like a barber shop but it also smells like my Tabac cream. So I will not be buying any of this stuff. Scent aside, the TOBS did make for a great slick lather with plenty of cushion. And of course the GEM Jr Lather Catcher made the shave sooooo great. I love those lather catchers. Eveyone should try one a couple times.
