    Muhle R106
    Red Israeli
    EJ Sea Buckthorn Soap (Gotta love the scent)
    Penworks Finest
    DR Harris Marlborough

    Lots of NICE lather comming from this soap. I picked it up last week and have tried it a few times, and I love it! Combined with my (only) DR Harris AS, the scent is heavenly. In fact the scent woke up my wife when I rested in bed before heading off to work (after the shvae), and she kept saying how good it smelled! That's a first! All in all, a wonderful start to the morning. :)

    • Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, hand strop blade
    • Lather: Real Shaving Co. Sensitive + glycerin
    • Brush: Frank Shaving Fine Badger
    • Razor: Ever Ready 1924
    • Blade: Walgreen's Gem (8), 2 passes
    • Post: WH + alum splash, Aqua-Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade
    • Cold water shave, face lather
    2 new things with this shave; my first shave with the Ever Ready '24 and the Real Shaving Co cream. I think the blade may be ending it's life as there was some tugging that I don't normally have and I doubt that it's from the razor or cream. So it went into the blade bank and I'll do the same setup for my shave tomorrow to really see. The '24, however, lived up to the hype when it comes to the sound it makes and the efficiency with which it cuts. What an enjoyable shave even with the slight tug noticed in my problem areas.

    Since today is the 11th Aug, I will stop here on these blades. I got "11" great shaves from these blades and I still can't believe it. Eleven is a lucky number, so no more rolling the dice. I win!!! I think I will replace my Red Israeli Personnas with the Rapira Platinum Lux. My order for the Voshod Teflon Coated Blades arrived and I am very anxious to try them, although they might be a tad too aggressive, we will see! Great BBS Shave with a Big "5" Blade rating!!!!!!!!!

    I tend to agree with you. Since I started going to the gym before work, I have been shaving in the evening. I have much more time to enjoy my shave and as a result, I have been getting better shaves.

    Thursday Evening.

    Gem Micromatic Open Comb
    Gem Stainless PTFE (4, I think)
    Omega 49 Professional
    Williams Mug Soap
    Alum - Thanks Jeff
    Superior 70 Bay Rum

    Williams continues to impress me. I decided to use it until the currently loaded blades are done. Tonight might be the last shave for the SE blade as it was getting tuggy near the end. I may be able to pull one more from it. I still have at least 2 more shaves left in the Voskhod, giving me at least 3 more days of Williams. It definitely takes a bit more effort to lather then the Arko stick and the lather isn't as voluminous, but I have been enjoying the shaves. It doesn't stand a chance against the big boar.

    Because it contains Phenoxyethanol and I can't use it. This reason was enough for them to stop the production ;) :D
