Thursday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/7 AM day 6 Godrej Menthol Mist SC Diana Sport Menthol Balsam Obsession For Men EDT This shave was awesome in every aspect - smoothness, comfort, and enjoyment. The Godrej Menthol Mist cream lathers so well, smells nice, and gives a frigid and long-lasting menthol effect. A little of this Diana Sport balsam, and your face will need all day to thaw out!
Gillette Old Type Feather (3) Semogue 2000 Arko Shave Stick Alum Could have stopped after one pass, but went for a second. Simple yet excellent shave today.

С Днем Сурка! Second shave using the Portman Square English Style Cream sample I received from Phil @ BullGoose. This time I face lathered using my Ever Ready C40 and the results were very good! Lather was still not really thick, but very acceptable with adequate cushion and really slick - very impressive laundry list of quality ingredients in this "croap". The scent is growing on me, a little different than you would expect, but nice & refreshing for a spring shave. Even though it was the fifth use on this blade, the slickness of this cream (croap?) gave me a really great shave! Prep: Hot shower Soap/cream: Portman Square English Style Cream - Orange Vetiver Brush: Ever Ready C40 Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable I-2 birth year/quarter, (5) Blade: Lord Platinum (5) Cold water rinse Dickinson's Witch Hazel M&L Florida Water 90% BBS, 10% DFS

Thursday Gillette FB @3 Derby blade day 1 C&E Sandalwood soap D.R. Harris after shave splash Yesterday was a quick shave, this one was speed shaving: first pass WTG in short strokes, second pass WTG in long strokes, third pass somewhere between WTG and XTG in long strokes. Result: DFS-- in 5 minutes. Do I like it? Not really, but let's blame the alarm clock ..... Today a package with 2 tubes of palmolive Menthol arrived, testdrive in 14 hours.

Well, I have always preferred the Schick Injectors over DE razors. I would compare the SS with my DE87 although I believe the SS is a little milder than the DE87.
Thursday Hot water rinse Arko Uber-lather Omega 10029 Baby-Pro, boar 1952 Gillette Black Tip SS, steel Perma-Sharp Super D2 Arko-New moisturizer/Rebul Lavanda Colonia Man. I never used to like to hear people call the Super-Speeds mild shavers....Seems like 'mild' refers to a weakness....But I'll tell you...This SS is the mildest shaver I own, but still very capable of delivering a BBS in 3 passes...And It gives new meaning to the phrase, "It felt like there was no blade in the razor". And on the 3rd pass I was doing ATG razor buffing and still felt like -no blade...Ha,ha,ha...But the results were unequivicably BBS... The 'Black Tip Beauty' ....and that grey deoderant stick now contains my Arko Shave Stick...
Thursday Today I wanted to try the Gem Micromatic again, though the blades come from the local hardware store. Should have known better. Although I like the weight and balance of the Gem, the blade was not up to par. Guess I'll have to order some real SE blades. Set up: Prep: hot water rinse, hor washcloth Music: Philip Glass, Powaqqatsi (I've got the movie as well on DVD) Soap: DVH Brush: Wilkinson Sword badger / boar Razor: Gem Micromatic Blade: local hardware store 3+ pass shave Post: cold water (forgot the hot water) Result: FS (no DFS, due to the crappy blade ) Have a great day!
