It's deceivingly aggressive and a great razor to work on technique. Tonight was BBS in 3 passes. No nicks, no cuts, no burn and nobody left on base. Have a great week everybody.
Monday, January 16th Razor: Gillette Norfolk* Blade: Schick Plus Platinum* Brush: Shavemac 2007 LE* Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Soap: Vintage Trumper Sandalwood (Tallow Version)* A/S: Avon Wild Country* This is my proposed "mourning" shave for this coming Monday (January 16th).

16 January Menthol Monday TSD 2XIced Tea Tree Soap Omega Boar 10015, face lather Gillette Milord, w/ Lord Platinum (D2) Iced SubZero Splash and Proraso ASB An early morning three pass shave, cool and smooth. The cut on my chin wasn't too bad, so I tried again this morning. A chilly DFS, well its off to the airport again after a nice Sunday with the family. I hope everyone has a nice week.
Monday, January 16 EJ ED86 Voskhod (d3) Arko Stick Rooney Stubby 2xl Master Blue, Renaissance Man Alpine Trails AS Acqua di Selva edt BBS this morning. Had the tools, time, and the inclination.
Menthol Monday, Jan 16: Dorco 1000 twin blade disposable hotel provided razor boosted TSD Monkey Farts SS vintage Simms boar store brand Skin Bracer green knock-off I can really only say wow at this shave. I really hate when you mail blades forward of a trip and then find out that the mail hasn't gotten there even though you mailed them 4 days in advance......having said that, I should really quit complaining because every time that happens and I get the oppurtunity to use one of those little Dorco cheap jobbers, I end up nearly BBS and completely surprised. It is about as heavy as a paperclip which makes letting the weight of the razor work for you out of the question, but aside from that, the little thing works pretty well. I am BBS nearly everywhere and zero irritation. Than you little Dorco! Still, I brought the R-41 on it's inaugural travel trip so I hope the Voskhods get here today.
Monday, January 16, 2012. Good Morning! Morning Coffee: Hills Brothers Original Blend Prep: Wash face with Musgo Real Glyce Lime Razor: EJ DE87 Blade: Gillette Soap: Palmolive Menthol Cream Brush: D.R. Harris H2 (Rooney 1/2) Scuttle: Dirty Bird 1.5 Post: Cold water rinse followed by some Floid Blue
Menthol Monday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/new 7 AM Egyptian Ingram SC Keri unscented moisturizer Barbon AS Polo Original EDT A new 7 AM blade in the Super Speed helped to give me a great and true BBS shave. The Egyptian version of Ingram cream and the Barbon aftershave are perfect for a Menthol Monday. They both have superb freezing which lasts for hours afterwards. This Ingram even has a perfect consistency - it doesn't separate and get watery. Amazingly, it took me only 2 passes to achieve the desired results!
Monday Hot Shower Green Marvy Mug Omega Pro Boar TOBS Avocado SC Lord L6 Super Max Super Platinum (2) Cool Water Rinse Victoria's Secret "Appletini" Body Lotion Escada Signature Perfume Fantastic shave! I decided to break out the TOBS, hadn't used it in a while. Great results. Have a great Monday!
Monday, January 16, 2012 Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Razor: 1967 Gillette Slim Adjustable Blade: Astra Keramik Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two-Band Soap or Cream: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Soap (tallow formula) A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Trumper's Marlborough Splash An excellent shave! Many of the products above have been discontinued--in the wet shaving world, newer is not always better and is frequently not as good (IMO, of course!).
Monday, January 16th Razor: Merkur 34C Blade: Derby Extra Brush: Parker Pure Badger Soap or Cream: Arko Stick A/S: Alum, Dickinson's WH, Aqua Velva Cologne: Hoyt's Original 1868

Menthol Monday! C.O. Bigelow Barbasol Pacific Rush AS Merkur 34c loaded with a Merkur Super VDH Luxury Badger Col. Conk Chrome Shave Bowl Guys....I think I am getting addicted to this menthol business .....I am going to have to purchase some M-Bomb from the TSD Store..... Just when I thought my SAD was coming close to being cured
Monday Morning: Pre: Hot Shower Razor: Merkur 23c Blade: Polsilver Cream: European Palmolive Brush: Omega Boar Post: Thayers WH, Cold Rinse, Gillette A/S Gel Another excellent shave with this blade. I'm debating pulling the trigger on 250 of these guys before they're gone for good. They're just so expensive though
How do you like that Avocado? I have TOBS Sandalwood...Rose and Lemon Lime.....the LL is not near as strong of a scent as id like ...the Sandalwood just stinks to me lol...and the Rose im still up in the air on.....perhaps TOBS is just not for me....
