    Razor: D.R. Harris Chatsworth
    Blade: Voskhod
    Brush: Shavemac D01 Horn
    Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Cream: Italian Palmolive with Menthol
    A/S: Floris Santal

    After all of the chatter about the Voskhod blades, I had to try one for myself. It seems like a fairly forgiving blade and is comparable to a Shark blade in terms of sharpness.

    Saturday!

    Warm Shower
    Green Marvy Mug
    Green Ever-Ready horse reknot
    Uber-Mentholated Frankensoap
    Traveling Lord L6 razor
    Super Max Super Platinum (2)
    Cool Water Rinse
    Hyatt Portico Citrus & Lavender Body Lotion

    This was my second shave with the traveling Lord L6. I had intended to get in more than two before sending it on it's way but the first shave was so close I didn't have to shave for two days after! That folks is a major compliment for this razor's performance. The same blade (which is one of my favorites) in a different razor didn't perform near as good as it did in the Lord.

    Generally speaking I can go a day between shaves, then the stubble doesn't feel so good rubbing on my nylons. I am seriously thinking of adding one to my collection ... I wish I had more time to try it out with a couple of my other favorites (Voskhod and Gillette 7 OC Blacks).

    Well, off to the store to pick up a couple items for my trip and then packing ... Yay?!? Have a great day everyone!

    Jeff -

    Frankensoap is just a mixture of whatever soap you have around all mixed together. Just think of Frankenstein where the monster was created of parts from numerous different sources. It is a good way to use up slivers of different products.

    Thursday July 28

    • Prep: Noxzema Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
    • Cream: TOBS Eton College
    • Brush: The Ever Roddy, an ER refurb with a TGN Silvertip Knot
    • Razor: 1910 GEM Lathercatcher with short handle
    • Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 6)
    • Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
    • A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & AOS Lavender ASB
    • EDT: 4711 Cologne
    • Result: Second straight BBS shave with a TOBS cream. This time it is Eton College. As expected the lather was easy to make and provided great cushion and glide. Of course the wonderful GEM LC had something to do with the great shave too!

    That's a lot of soap brother! That ball will last you 2 years if you used it every day probably.

    Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Razor: EJ Chatsworth
    Blade: Rapira Swedish SuperSteel
    Brush: Vie-Long Gonzalo Horse/Boar
    Soap: Klar Kabinett
    A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Alt Innsbruck Splash

    The humble Vie-Long Gonzalo continues to amaze me. It is still breaking in, but whips up large quantities of great lather. It holds a lot of lather, and the best part is that it easily releases the lather to do its job on the whiskers. I really enjoy using it--I soak it in a cup of warm water while I'm in the shower and it's ready to go. Today's shave was great and the Alt Innsbruck provided a fine, cooling finish.
