    Thursday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/new Voskhod
    Noxzema SC :love029::love029::love029::love029::happy005::happy108::happy108::happy108:
    Keri unscented moisturizer
    Booster Polar Ice AS :love029::love029::love029::love029:
    JHL Cologne

    3 passes with this new Voskhod blade gave me a sensational, smooth and ultra-comfortable shave, and the Noxzema cream made it so enjoyable. I shaved slowly so I could savour each moment. The Booster Polar Ice aftershave smells so nice and blends very well with the JHL cologne. Not even a professional barber could have done as good a job on me as this! ;) :biggrin:

    Proraso White ASB

    The shave went well this morning. My face was roughed up from yesterdays shave...hence my magic healer - Proraso White. Smooth shave and a great start to the day! I can't get over the smell of the MEM shave cream. As Tony says "[It's] GRRREEEAAAAAT!"

    Razor: Merkur Futur
    Blade: Ladas
    Brush: Thater Porter
    Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Cream: O Melhor
    A/S: Acqua di Parma

    Add another cream to the rotation! I recently picked up a tube of O Melhor shaving cream and really like its performance and skin conditioning properties. The scent is a bit more cologny than I prefer but is not noticeable once lathered. The Futur/Ladas combo contines to shine and I enjoyed an excellent shave.

    [table]Razor: |Mühle R101
    Strop: |Elios
    Preshave: | Anthony Logistics preshave oil
    Brush: |Semogue LE 2009
    lather: |Plisson bowl
    AS: | Thayer's astringent
    EdT: |Jimmy Boyd, Agua de Bosque
    Comments: | Today I want to experience the radical sensations of a huge amount of lather and a very agressive razor. The 2009 LE is a factory of lather, always easy to get the best of a soap, and the Mühle R101 doesn't think about the beard, no fear, only a shave without mercy but close as a straight razor can do in 2 passes. The green and fresh scent of the "Agua de Bosque" are the fresh finish that I wanted today.

    Glad you are feeling better. If you live where your coordanace say you do, it's no wonder you had a infection, the doctors can't find you. I can't even pronounce the towns on that map. :)

    eBarber witch hazel

    Clubman Vanilla

    I made an audible at the Shavers Line of Scrimmage and changed a few things from my pic. This also was my first Ladas blade and the first two shaves where great and easily accomplished. Probably from being groggy from getting up for work at 4:21, I fought the blade instead of chucking it.

    On shave one the blade was a little rough but settled in, shave two was the shave of my life, shave three was a fight. If these blades are good for two shaves, I think I will pass, but as I work through some Bullgoose picks, we will see how the Ladas performs in it's second trial run.

    Here's my pic. Peace TSD. 10-6 shave a.jpg

    Mrs Jeltz had retied early so the choice of razor was a lucky dip in the dark, pretty lucky to pull out one of my best!

    Thanks all for the congratulations! Michael is 8 lbs 10 oz, but we haven't been able to bring him home yet. They brought him to the NICU for tests, thinking he may have an infection. So far the test results have been good, but we hear back from the last of them tomorrow. Hopefully they will be clean, and we can go home.
