I had lots of shaving pleasure today from the Godrej lime scented cream, and the Burt's Bees Bay Rum balsam did a terrific job of cooling and soothing my skin. The JHL cologne is becoming my favorite--look out, Dolce & Gabbana!

Got a BBS everywhere - except for the lower neck, which is DFS. This was a simple 3 pass shave with no touch-up effort, and no fighting the neck whisker gremlins. Very enjoyable shave today.

 

Feb, 08

Enough time for nice shave, so...

Fitjar Nyasha organic soap as the pre-shave
Fitjar Calmomilla SC
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Ceramic bowl
Merkur 23C/Wilkinson Sword#4 (hand-stropped)
nice splash of cold water

Great shave - smooth, very nice and soft lather, great glide. So soothing, I even need no aftershave after it! Love the bowl lathering, but for me it is the slower way...

Happy Tuesday From Florida!

Schick Injector "66"
Pella Blade (1)
Cold Water Rag
Anheb Gel
Aeropostale Maximum Cologne

4 Passes = Meh, it was an okay shave. There is a huge difference in the comfort between a Pella blade and a freshly honed and stropped straight though. Right now, I feel like I shaved with a rusty clump of steel wool.

I gave myself a nice slice the other day with the Wapi, and since taking up straights I have not had a BBS shave in awhile, so I grabbed an injector, looking for that BBS bliss. No where to be found today.

Oh well; there is always tomorrow.

Have a great day Ya'll!

Sunday, January 30, 2011

Pre-shave Soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Lord Platinum Class
Brush: Omega 646232 "Vivaldi" Artificial Badger
Cream: Portman Square "Notting Hill" Cream Soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Ogallala Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns Toner

I face lathered this morning, because I was in a bit of a hurry. It was a great shave, although I still prefer bowl lathering. I really like the Portman Square lather, which is both slick and protective. The Ogallala toner provided an excellent finish before I headed out into the frigid outside air.
