SoS: October 4-10 2010

I had a goosebump this morning!

Hot Shower
Green Marvy Mug
Erasmic SC
TGN Silvertip Re-Knot
Lady Gillette Pink Stars
Dorco 301 (Maybe 4)
Cold Water Rinse
TBS Strawberry Body Butter

Loving the weather! My blood has thinned so much living in FL, temps in the 60's now require a jacket.

Awesome shave today, I don't use the Silvertip often as it is almost too soft, but it plumped up real nice with the Erasmic.

 

Wednesday:

Razor - 1934 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade - Gillette Super Blue
Brush - Omega Boar 81052
Soap - Klar Kabinett
A/S - Alt-Innsbruck Emulsion
Cologne - Alt-Innsbruck

Wednesday, A!

Musgo Cream
Penworks Silvertip
Schick Type A Magazine Repeater
Pella Blade (1)

First shave with the type A. Really excellent. Schick got it right from the beginning. I treated it with respect, as the blade gap looks fairly large, but quickly gained confidence.

 

• Gillette ABC Empire Razor (1909)
• Derby Blade
• RL Safari SS
• Rooney 3/1 Super
• Nivea Sensitive ASB

Yum yum yum!

A delightful cool morning shave!

One of those "Best Shaves of My Life" Type Shaves...
And I believe this comb. might be the King of the "Is there a blade in this razor?" flashes, except the audio cutting sound is louder than any of my other razors so you know the hair is being cut...Loved every minute of it...I forget what a wonderful razor this M-S is...And it works great with these Rapiras too...

Wednesday

Prep: Hot shower, soak brush

A tad better than yesterday, and I figured out why - the TV gives a slightly better shave than the standard. Not a lot, but enough to notice. Curious.

Wednesday, October 06, 2010

Razor: Jaggerooney
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Cream: Cyril Salter Sublime Citrus
A/S: Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel, Taylor No. 74 Victorian Lime Splash

A top quality shave this morning, full of citrusy goodness! It's hard to believe that I went through a period of shaving with cartridge razors and canned goo, interspersed with several brands of electrics. But little is gained by crying over spilt milk, as they say.

 

Shave Of The Day - October 6th

• Hot Shower
• $9.00 Shea Moisture Brush
• Feats of Clay Scuttle
• C.O Bigelow Cream - :freezing :freezing
• Clix Razor
• Dorco ST-301 Blade - Day 4
• Osage Rub - :freezing :freezing :freezing
• C.O. Bigelow Blue Elixir Balm + 2 drops M-Bomb - :freezing :freezing
• 

Missed a full blown 5 blade shave by ---><--- that much!

This was my first time using the Bigelow cream, having always thought it was a duplicate of Proraso Green, I always just grabbed my tube of Proraso before.

Some discussion out in the forums lead me to find out that it is slightly different, but definitely has a very strong family resemblance.

I will add that like I have read others say, I do believe the menthol kick is stronger in the Bigelow than Proraso Green, and I had a fantastic menthol filled shave with it!

A little rushed this morning, and no ISZ Pre-Shave plus the Dorco 301 just ain't my blade, so I'll go 4.5 blades on this shave.

 

Just finished:


Hot shower
Palmolive sensitiv Cream
Muhle Graudachs
EJ DE89L
ASTRA SP
Weleda Rasierwasser
Skinoil 66-60
