A great face-freezing shave to start a week. Yes, Proraso Green cream and soap and I became friends again - the lather is very reliable, and the cooling effect is good. The Alt Innsbruck can be used as a cologne as well as an aftershave. :biggrin:

Monday, August 1st 2011

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Wilkinson Classic (German)
Brush: Rudy Vey with Shavemac D01 Knot
Soap: Irisch Moos
A/S: Alt Innsbruck

I enjoyed an excellent German themed shave this morning. The Rudy Vey brush and Irisch Moos teamed up to generate a ton of lather and the Futur with a fresh Wilkinson Classic effortlessly mowed down the stubble. A splash of Alt Innsbruck (technically Austrian but hey...they speak German) and I am ready for boot camp.

Great shave today. Good sdvice from Regan about turning the adjustable to about 5 or 6 for an irritation free shave, it worked. No irritation, no weepers, nothing but BBS. I'm starting to like these Rapira Blades.

 

Jeff, it seems you made a half of kilo of Frankensoap! It will take YEARS to use it up but I really glad you was lucky with that 'soap mutation' and it works!

 

Sorry I am late. I was using a bookmark that was somehow still picking up the down for maintnence message.
