Wednesday 1st Feb. Hot shower and facial scrub Proraso Pre shave cream Feather Artist Club RG Semogue 1470 Boar brush Wilkinson Sword Shave stick Witchazel Proraso Pre/Post cream Floid Original AS Will just give this a DFS today. 12 hours on I still have no stubble...so it could have been a BBS... However a little razor burm on one spot on my jawline means it is marked down.
nice pic...Very nice....I might have to pull my Black Tip out tomorrow...It's been too long, I miss it...
Wednesday's Shower and Shave Each morning my prep starts with a hot shower, while I shower my brush for the day warms up. Brush choice today was the Omega "Midget", the little brush that can lather any soap or cream. Today's soap choice was a sample of Lemon and Cedarwood. The little "Midget" whipped up a nice lather in no time. Today's razor was a Gillette SS, loaded with a mystery blade. This was day three for the blade, after today it was evident that a fourth day with this blade would not be possible. Tomorrow I will chose a different razor and a different blade. Three passes with the razor, then a facial rinse with polar water. Then a splash of Thayer's Witch Hazel, followed with a splash of Kananga Water. The :wave:give this DFS an 8. Hope that everyone is having a great week.
Open Comb Wednesday Today my Merkur 11 C asked for the ball. With only one shave left in the blade, the razor knew that a shave today guaranteed 1-2 more consecutive shaves with the new blade as it also new that Slanty had a new Gillette Yellow and was hoping it would get one for tomorrow. Lineup EBC preshave Vulfix 404 Mixed MWF face lathered Merkur 11 C Open Comb Humphreys Witch Hazel TSD Iced Bourbon Vanilla Milk Pinaud Vanilla It was a nice shave. 8 hours after the shave, I am still pretty smooth. I thoroughly enjoyed the shave. I am loving both of my Merkurs
Wednesday Feb 1, 2012 Brush: Semogue 830 banded boar Razor: Merkur 41C open-comb "1904" Blade: Merkur, 3 with a trimmed Feather as a shim Soap: Speick Toner: Thayer's Lavender WH Finish: Speick AS splash Smelly: Taylor's Eton College cologne Fantastically smooth shave and no irritation in the slightest! BBS Happy Shaving
Wednesday Proraso Pre/Post Merkur 37C + Bolzano (Forgot what day it was....4 or 5 I think LOL) Omega 10008 Proraso White Cold Water Rinse + Old Spice Classic A/S DFS, this particular Bolzano blade has completely changed my opinion of them - they needed a revisit as I think the first one I tried had a rather bum blade on it. The brush was decent but since I'm face lathering so much I'm finding myself missing badger....
Wednesday 1966 Gillette Slim Supermax Blade NF2213 Boots Cool Cologne Cream Alum Blue Stratos AS Swift and efficient, with a great result. Albeit not as enjoyable as a straight shave.
Wednesday: Razor: Merkur 38C Blade: Shark Super Chrome Brush: Best Badger Soap: Williams A/S: Pinaud Clubman
