OK, it was too cold (for me) to shave yesterday morning. When your legs are covered with goosebumps, it's just not comfortable shaving. Today, still cold but I made due.

WOW! That was a different shave! I will have to dial it back a couple notches. I definitely had to go S-L-O-W this morning.

Otherwise, it was an awesome shave. Closest I've had in a while. Now, it looks like I'm going to have to turn the heat on ... again ... tonight.

Returning to daily posts over the next week just to keep track of what soaps I use with this brush.

Schick type O
Gillette Trac II (sic) Twin Injector blade (8)
Bestshave Turkish Horsehair brush
Pierre Cardin Soap

Another day another DFS, although this is not exactly a great soap. It works, though.

Yes, Gillette used the Trac II name for their twin injector blades as well as cartridges. They work very well, actually.

Tibet Forest Fresh SC :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Barbon AS :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing
JHL Cologne

Although not as cold as Godrej Menthol Mist, this Tibet Forest Fresh cream is still very strongly-mentholated, and it has fantastic lather. There is also an antiseptic in it, so after a shave the skin feels not only cool and soothed, it also feels very clean.

 

Ohhhhh, I almost forgot....

By the way, this cream is from Bangladesh. Check out the review I wrote on it.

I was just saying over in the Injector & SE thread how this week of SEs only has surprised me. I guess my technique with the SE has improved - so far I haven't experienced the razor burn I used to get after using an SE for three days in a row. NO PRESSURE is definitely the key.

 

Lets see here, we've got a Classic Wade & Butcher for the face shave, and a Classic 1912 Ever Ready for the spud !
Used HeadSlick Shave Cream on Spud
Used Col. Conk Bay Rum, Glycerine on Face
Omega Pro 49 Boar on Face
Splashed on some TN Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Face n Spud
Topped off with Pinaud Clubman, Face n Spud

Lovely, Lovely, Shave ! I might add.
Smooth as a Q-Ball all the way around !!!
