SoS: January 2nd ~ January 8th, 2012

Thursday

Kukri 4/8
Vie Long Hoger
Nany's Ice & a Slice
Alum
Aquatonic AS

Well a great shave but not the most relaxed. 1st day back at Tae Kwon Do after Christmas left my arms weak and feeble so double concentration on the shave was required. In my defence, at the end of an already strenuous class our instructor wanted 120 press ups out of us in 2 minutes. I made it to 100, just, which was better than most even if one cockey sod made 134!

 

Same as yesterday:

Brush: Best Badger

Friday's Shave:

Soap: Arko Shave Stick
Brush: Omega 10029 Babypro, boar

Post: Cold water rinse, Arko-Nem moisturizer, Rebul Lavanda Colonia Splash

This Senator's not fooling around!!! Spectacular close shave without irritation! And fun? Forget about it...This is the epitome of having a blast shaving...If it wasn't for the loud razor feed-back I wouldn't know there was a blade in the razor....Not one pull or tug...And Two passes later a great shave, but I threw in a 3rd to practice those Jody-Yoda J Hooks...

Oh yeah...How did I deal with those trouble spots like under the chin and my throat under my jaw bone ? Nothing unusual...There just weren't any touble spots....lol......

Results: unequivicably BBS !!

Time to find one of those classic old Stingraysrock ratings like: Tree Climbing, Barrell throwing. Vine Swinging, Chest-Beating, Bang a Gong.......LOL

Looks like everybody's nailing great shaves this week....CONGRATS !!.....BBS's all around....The Shave Den is Smoking these days...LOL!!

 

Friday

TSD ISZ soap
Omega Boar 10015, face lather
Gillette Milord, w/ Lord Platinum (D3)
TSD ISZ splash, and Arko cool balm

Sorry I have not been around since christmas, but family obligations and computer issues turned me into a hermit.
A very nice cool shave. I have playing around with the Arko cool balm, the smell is very strong, but it does a nice job on my face even when working outdoors. This was a three pass DFS+.

 

8/8 W&B restored by Glen
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Tabac SC
Cold water splash

Nice and pleasant shave this evening. DFS! Only one or two shaves is left in that Tabac cream tube, so after I finish it, I'll go right to my Tabac soap (thank you very much, Stefan!).

Nivea Replenishing Balsam

My 1st shave with the Lavanda cream which I received yesterday, and it won't be the last - this stuff is FABULOUS. The lather is so rich and creamy, the scent is gorgeous, and I really like how my skin feels after the shave. I think this stuff is even better than its well-known brother, Musgo Real. The 7 AM is holding up very well.
