Sunday Hot Shower(soak brush in cup,Sevile Row 3824) Feather Preshave balm Arko shave stick Merkur Futur/Personna Barber blade (1) Cold Water Rinse Monster Block Alum (clean brush,razor,police area) Cold Water Rinse Osage Rub mixed with a pea sized amount of 444 Nice shave today I had the Futur set on 2 for face and head.I used to use multiple settings but the Futur can be dangerous.I did my normal 3 pass shave,one ATG on the noggin and got BBS all around and no irritation,so it looks like both my face and head like 2.

Sunday 12th February Facial Scrub Proraso Preshave cream Ford & Medley 333 5/8 Razor Vie-Long 13050M Horsehair Brush Ingram Shave Cream Alum Block followed by 444 ASB Floid AS Obsession EDT I have decided that I dont like this Vie-Long brush, so this will be my last shave with it. The hair seems to tangle very easily and it just becomes a solid lump. My SBAD has ensured that I have enough replacements....so I see no reason to continue fighting with it. A DFS+ shave today with 3 passes and a little touch up. I could almost be tempted to claim BBS, as Floid AS seems to smooth things considerably!
Sunday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 4 Everest SC Everest EDC/AS Balsam Obsession For Men EDT The Wilkinson Sword blades give great shaves - I did only 2 passes, and I'm as close to BBS as I can hope to be. It's been a long time since I used the Everest stuff, and I'm happy that I chose it for this morning. Both the cream and the eau de cologne/aftershave balsam (yes, this is a 2 in 1 thing!) smell real nice and are very soothing with a great menthol effect. Brian, Corinne loves the Obsession on me - it's one of the few fragrances I have which she likes!

Sunday morning, February 12, 2012 Schick E2 Injector Razor w/ Schick blade (7) Omega 10066 boar bristle brush, MWF shaving soap w/ warm water lather, finish w/ cold water rinse for a CCS! Time for a fresh blade in the morning.
The Shave of the Week The day began with a trip to the bagel store, breakfast, a few cups of Brooklyn Boys Fresh Roasted Coffee, and then a piping hot shower with MWF bath soap. Next up was a brand new Yellow. And then it was time to shave. EBC preshave-imo, the best of the best Vulfix 404 Mixed-the best of both worlds Palmolive Menthol-my favorite cream Merkur 11 C-loving the open comb Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow-for my money, sharper and smoother then any Feather Humphreys Witch Hazel/Vitos-Humphrey's is nice and neutral, Vito's works great as a post. Smooooooooth Alcolado Glacial-my fave AS For today's shave I selected some of my fave's and I wasn't disappointed. Eveything was working, and I was left with a face as smooth as Ice that just got the Zamboni treatment. I knew of none of these products until I joined TSD. Thank you all.
Sunday, February 12 EJ DE86 Supermax Titanium (d3) MWF, Vulfix 2235 Super Proraso A/S Clubman –Vanilla Got a high level DFS this morning, give it a 4.8 blades. Still evaluating this titanium version of Supermax. It seems to be a good blade, but I am not ready to judge it just yet. Will try it again later.
Sunday Hot Shower Merkur 37C Supermax SS (Thanks Paulie!) P.160 (Thanks again Paulie!) Omega Mighty Midget Cold Water Rinse + Old Spice Classic Beautiful blade, never tried them before but they seem to agree very well with my face. P.160 as always just had a perfect long lasting lather with the Omega, though I think for a change up I may try to get my hands on a Vie Long Horse/Badger mix soon.

Sunday morning, February 12, 2012 1955-58 Eversharp-Schick I2 Injector Razor w/ Schick blade (3) Omega 10029 boar bristle brush, Arko Shave Stick w/Arko Adventure SC finish w/ cold water rinse/Arko-Nem moisturizer/Rebul Lavanda Colonia Decided to take my injector out for a spin this Sunday evening...Really does remind me of grabbing my flat-cap, and putting the top-down on a vintage roadster, and straightening out some curvy country roads... And what a lovely drive it was....on a scale of 1 to 5, I'd have to give it no less than a thousand...
I think you should be more careful....That photo of your 'Hot Tamale' New Delux, might me a little too "Hot"!! for day time viewing...I mean this is a family forum....You might want to move her to the adult section....or get her to tone it down a little...
