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. image upload

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.

Almost every week is SE week for me, if you lump Gem style SEs and injectors in together. Kampfe SCS lather catcher CVS Blade D.R. Harris Almond soap Omega Professional boar Souvenir postcards, Esterbrook LJ, Parker 51 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.

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!
