Thursday 16th February

Hot shower and facial scrub
Proraso Preshave cream
Feather Artist Club SS
Semogue SOC Boar
P160 Soap
Alum Block followed by Proraso Liquid ASB
Floid Original AS

BBS with 2 passes and some touchup. The P160 is a great performer. I don't use it often enough. It does however give my face a bit of a tingle. No obvious adverse effects, but my usual Vitos lathers as well without the strange feeling!

 

Thursday's Shower and Shave

Hot Shower with Razorock Ginseng bar soap

Omega "48" was due up for today's lathering, selected TSD Sweet Tea. The "48" did a superior job lathering. My new learned technique brought the lathering up a notch. It is amazing how a small tweak can make difference.

Today it was day three for the Gold Tech and Ladas battery. The tandem working with the lather did an excellent job shaving

Post shave includes a polar water splash, facial toning with Thayer's Witchhazel. To complete a great shave Kapo Balm

The :wave:were excitedly rated this DFS a stellar 10.

Hope everyone's week is going great.

 

And what would that technique be?

Thursday Morning!

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: Merkur 23c
Blade: Supermax Super Platinum (3)
Cream: Proraso
Brush: Omega 10005

Overall a decent shave, with a couple nicks due to my carelessness. I think the blade is starting to show wear as well. Who knows. Have a good day all!

 

Thursday

Muhle R106
The Colonel
Dorco 301
Proraso Green Soap
Proraso AS



Day 1 of my 5 day weekend! Took my wife to the airport for noon and she is now on her way to Toronto for a wedding.

The shave this morning was great! My daughter was up and sat with me as I shaved, telling me absolutely everything that her little mind could think of. The Dorco blade felt fairly rough, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. The Proraso...simply marvelous! It was a good shave with no irritation!

 

Merkur 23C/Green 7OC SS#2
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Valobra shave stick
Nivea AS splash

Nice and smooth!

 

Thursday
Merkur 38C + Rapira
P.160 + Omega Mighty Midget
Cold Water Rinse + Old Spice Classic A/S

Great shave this morning, was going to retire the blade for my face, so this afternoon after I got my new beret and cap badge sewn on, I used the 38C and Rapira to shave that as well, did a great job of cleaning it up quickly on both the inside and outside. Who says it's just about shaving body parts around here

 

Thursday



R41 with Gillette spoiler.
Omega Boar
MWF
Captain's Choice Bay Rum

 

The MWF is a great soap, but I get the worst irritation from it. Strange, huh?

 

Yeah I got a small sample several months back and this is only about the third time I've used it. It is definitely not my favorite. Like the smell, love the lather, but I get the irritation too. About an hour after this shave I was putting Alcolado Glacial on to cool the burn. Guess I probably need to just let it go.

 

Thursday


Seehund, maca root, NF2213, Alum, Aquatonic AS, all good smooth as anything.

 

Thursday:

Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Brush: Best Badger
Soap: Williams
A/S: Gillette Coolwave

 

One of my favorites.

 

Hot shower, Hot towel.
Proraso Pre-Shave Cream
Merkur 34c with a Feather (Awesome!)
Adidas Pulse AS
Nivea Cool Kick ASB

First time it's been an AWESOMELY smooth shave. As far as the actual shaving goes. I loved it

 

Yeah, it's a shame when a soap smells and performs great and just when you think you're all set, an irritation starts. That can really stop that soap from being a keeper.
