SoS: March 5th, 2012 ~ March 11th, 2012

Just a friendly reminder that it's S/E week!​

​

​

 

I wish I had one, but - I don't!

 

Well, it's got a single edge. One of my favorite razors, 13/16 Prior for the week. Soaps will be varied, QCS Tangerine, Mystic Waters Lily of the Valley and I been craving a MWF shave so I'll add that to the mix too. Used the Mystic Waters this morning, good stuff.

Razor :: Schick G1
Blade :: Schick
Soap :: Mystic Water Marrakesh
Brush :: Rudy Vey Omega Boar
Post :: Alum, Cold water rinse, WH + Rosewater
AS :: Luky Tiger AS Splash + TSD Orange Milk

Today it's all orange! Orangeya glad it's SE Week?!?

I'm pumped. Today my "new" Schick E1 arrives! I was patient and spent a good while looking for the right one and she's almost here. Tonight's shave was kickin' with the G1 and MW Marrakesh. The only thing missing was a butt naked baby riding on a unicorn over a rainbow.

Have a great week, friends.

 

Menthol SE Monday

Schick Hydro Magic
Personna blade day 1

TSD Iced Sandalwood SS

Menthol Monday 5 March

TSD Iced SubZero Soap
Simpson Berkley 46, face lather
Gillette Milord, w/ Gillette 7O'Clock Super Platinum (blue)
TSD Iced SubZero splash, and Proraso ASB

I forgot it was single edge week, but I can fix that tomorrow. I had a very nice three pass shave today, DFS+. Smooth and Chilly.
The super platinum was tugging at the end so I pitched the blade at the end of the shave. I tried steve's TSD soap lathering technicque (slightly modified for face lathering) and it seemed to work better than my usual method. I think further testing is in order.

We took our daughter to her first St. Patrick's day parade yesterday in Belmar NJ, and she had a great time. She loved the bagpipes and drums.

Have a great day.

It's been my project for a while to use every soap or cream that I have open for at least a week. Rubbing the fragments of this one on my face like a shave stick, will it be too small before the seven days are up? We'll see.

Love the old Esterbrook LJ and Parker 51. I have several 51's and they are some of my favorite pens.

 

It has been awhile and I may cut my throat, but I am going to have to get me one of those Feather AC-SS razors.

LOVE this brush! Jeff did an excellent job with this brush yesterday, it has just enough scritch to exfoliate but shouldn't take as long as my Sabi to break in.

Have a fantastic day everyone!

 

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Shark day 3
Gada Cool Mint SC
Diana Sport Menthol Balsam
Obsession For Men EDT

This Gada Cool Mint cream is DA BOMB - 2 passes with it, and an application of this Diana Sport balsam and my face is so frozen, that it might need a week for all the ice to melt. I wanted to use my Dovo Bismarck this morning, but there wasn't really enough time. Still, a very nice and smooth shave!
