    Wednesday Shave July 20, 2011


    • HOT SHOWER: Sandalwood & Vetiver Body Wash
      UBERLATHER: Ed Jagger Soap Puck/Kissmyface Cream
      BRUSH: New Forest Tubby 2 2-band
      SCUTTLE: yes, R.Becker Med
      RAZOR: IKON bulldog Handle straight bar-type
      BLADE: Israeli Personnas
      AFTERSHAVE: Sandalwood & Vetiver Splash
      COLOGNE: Rose Verte


      Today was mainly a fast touch-up. Great 2 pass with the Ikon Tech-bar type head. A mild shaver, great for me. Love mild shavers. I had forgotten how great this razor shaved. Perfect. And the Tubby 2 2-band Brush, man I love that brush!

    Rough Shave-sandpaper brush and Fatboy stuck on 9

    DR Harris Arlington Stick
    Synthetic Brush
    Fatboy (stuck on 9:eek:)
    Voshod Blade
    Proraso Splash
    TSD Iced Mojito Milk

    -health club shave, grabbed my broken Fatboy by mistake. First pass WTG
    just felt rough. When I was trying to figure out why it dawned on me that I grabbed the wrong razor when packing my gym bag last night. After wrapping my head around this and adjusting my mind-set it ended up being a pretty good shave-smooth as hell. The brush, however, felt like sandpaper. I've had this synthetic brush, that my partner gave me (was his dads) over a year ago. I finally gave it a go today-it lathered well, but it did not feel good. Do these break in? Not that I'd put up with more sandpaper lathering to break it in, but I"m curious.

    AS: Adidas AS Splash
    3 pass shave (WTG XTG ATG). First time using this razor, just got off the BST and I LOVE IT! My first straight is a 1/2 hollow at best, this thing gives so much more feedback on how your doing. the round point goes a long way in avoiding nicks too. GREAT BBS SHAVE!:happy088:happy088:happy088:happy088

    Feels like the blade is starting to slow down a little. The shave wasn't quite as close, but was still nice and irritation free. I've been enjoying the Bigelow and Boosted Superior 70. Both offer a nice cool feeling on these 90+F days.

    • Hot shower
    • Arko stick, Nivea Mild SC, glycerine überlather
    • HJM badger
    • Mühle R89
    • Gillette Platinum (2)
    • Ice cube rinse, Nivea anti-irritation lotion

    I did not enjoy this shave that much. I'm guessing my prep was a bit off. The ice cube rinse felt great, though.

    Thursday

    Gillette New/EJ89L
    Treet DS Carbon Steel (3)
    Thater Stout 2
    Tabac stick
    Nivea Sensitive balm
    Alcolado Glacial
    Polo Sport edt

    Received a NEW yesterday and gave it a shot today. I made it through the first pass, but paid a price on my rediculously sensitive neck and did my 2nd pass with the good 'ol EJ89L. Seems like every DE I try chews my neck up except for the EJ, so I'm officially stating my RAD is cured. Without that razor I'd rather not shave with a DE.

    Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Razor: Merkur Futur
    Blade: Treet DuraSharp
    Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
    Cream: TOBS Lavender
    A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel, Alt Innsbruck Splash

    Excellent shave. The TOBS cream, two or more years old, has lost a little of its fragrance, but still enveloped me in soothing lavender. It works as well as new, and is a favorite of mine--I should use it more often, however. The Alt Innsbruck provided a fine and very compatible finish on this hot morning.

    This was a most enjoyable shave with my darling Super Speed and my now-favorite brand of blades. Needless to say, the Palmolive Menthol cream felt heavenly. The Osage Rub added a big icy blast! ;) :D
