Tuesday, May 18, 2010 Razor: EJ Chatsworth Blade: Astra Superior Platinum Brush: Grosvenor LE Soap: Proraso Classic (green pot) A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Proraso Splash A fine comfortable shave today. Proraso, both green pot and white pot, is good stuff. The Proraso splash was a great finish.
I love C&E products! I am fully stocked on the Nomad, Sienna, and Sandalwood collection; enough to last me many years! All I need and really want is a C&E BBB to make me feel complete inside (an ivory handle, in case anyone has one).
D.R Harris Week Begins First shave of the DR Harris week for me Friodur 5/8 Omega 05 Brush D.R. Harris Lavender soap Very Sexy For Him aftershave Great 3 pass shave today, a few nicks but that was cuz the razor was tugging just a bit. Extra time on the strop after pass 1 make 2 and 3 easier. The lavender soap smelled amazing, only issue was that it dried out on my face a bit midway through pass one. Was there too much water or maybe to little as i face lathered? But it didnt happen for 2/3 so i guess i fixed that problem.

I like to rate my shaves on the overall shave experience, and not just how close to a BBS shave I may get. To that end, even though the Dorco blade gave some slight pulling and tugging, that was all made up for by the outstanding Italian Palmolive Menthol cream. Jeff (Crackstar) I can't thank you enough for your reviews of this fantastically cold, luxurious cream, it has been on my to try list for a loooong time. Jason (Baloosh) I have to thank you for offering it up for sale, why you did I will never understand, but I sure am lucky you did!

Hot Shower Imperial Extra Hollow Ground Omega Boar Nana June's Citrus Wake Me Up (thanks Stingraysrock!) Mentholated Witch Hazel British Sterling Real nice shave this morning. First time with this soap, I received a package from Jeff in Lakeland yesterday and there it was. This stuff smells fantastic and as the name suggests, provides a very nice morning wakeup. Played with the redneck scuttle briefly. I suspect there's still some technique issues to be sorted out with this thing but for now at least, it looks like face lathering is the preferred method with soaps. Jackson Browne and Van Morrison on tunes. Have a good one fellas!
