Shower or Shave (SoS) July 23rd - 29th

Tuesday:

Omega brush
Parker 22R/new Sharp
Tabula Rasa sc (sample)
Diana a/shave balm (sample)
Chabrawichi 555 cologne

the Tabula Rasa lathers like a demon, and smells nice and lemony/citrusy. But I think I detected a bit of irritation. The Diana balm is very cooling, soothing and nice, so it sure helped me out of what could have been a jackpot.

 

The funny thing about this diana balm is, that it's not even intended to be used as ASB. It's an old Austrian product made from all-natural ingredients and it's intended to be used on sore muscles after workout, when you've got a sunburn and the likes. But it also works great as an ASB, very soothing, cooling and healing

Fairly aggressive razor with the IP. Good shaver, a "singing" razor. Sounds just like a str8. Shaving angle is important to prevent weepers. Almost got me if it had not been for the forgivness of the Fraser's SC.

First time I have used this cream and it is outstanding! Very slick and protective.


Have an outstanding day!

Tried the Erasmic Shave Soap I got yesterday with the usual Merkur Slant Razor. Bowl width is a little small. Tough to get the brush going well. Result? 4.6/5.0 I can certainly learn to like this one.

 

Rich:
I dont have any Erasmic..........yet
but does the soap puck come outta the container ?
If so:
1. Take puck outta container and hold in non-dominant hand
2. Take hot, damp brush in dominant hand and proceed to charge brush with soap.
3. Place charged brush in scuttle / bowl / counter .
4. Take soapy puck and clean all lather off it wit yo hands
5. Take lathery hands and build PreLather on face
6. Place de-lathered soap puck back in container (nice and neat - like. No mess)
7. Build lather with brush (on face, in bowl / scuttle, on hand)
8. Take lather to face
9. ENJOY !!

 

It's locked in tight. I'd have to cut it out. Like your method though. :signs107
