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

First shave of the week

Thursday Afternoon Hot Hot Shower
Iced Signature TSD Bay Rum Shave Soap
Sabi Black Badger Brush
Sabi Long-John Gold DE razor

The Shave

Focusing on my favorite products, I set out to mow through 1.5 days of stubble before my evening out.

I selected some of my favorites:

Vitos pre/post
Vulfix 404 mixed
JM Fraser Polar Ice-can't believe this is leaving
Merkur 37 C Slanty
TSD ISZ Witch Hazel, TSD ISZ Milk
Alcolado Glacier

A great shave with a menthol kick to start and finish things off. A nice shave.

 

Friday, March 9, 2012 - Midnight Shave

Prep :: Warm water wetdown & Glycerin
Razor :: Schick E1
Blade :: Schick
Soap :: RazoRock King Louis
Brush :: Rudy Vey Silvertip
Post :: Alum, Cold water rinse, WH + Rosewater
AS :: Captain's Choice Bay Rum & TSD Sig. Bay Rum Milk

It's been a blast this week getting to know my new Schick E1 during SE week. Now I remember why I rarely use the same razor twice in a row...It's too easy to fall in love and forsake the rest of the den.

The Bay Rum combo I used tonight is reserved for special occasions and is my favorite finish. It was one ball-busting week at work. Every day was like a thousand colonoscopies.

It's Friday, folks!! I hope all my fellow 'Deners have a kickin' weekend.

 

Friday 9th March
Hot shower
3P Preshave cream
Schick ? E2 Injector
Omega 10029 Boar Brush

Osage Rub with 444 ASB
Scent from Heaven Vanilla EDT

Bought the razor a few years ago, along with a G1. Neither had been used by myself up until now . I cleaned it up in an ultrasonic bath last night....it looks good! This is a great little razor. I got a 3 pass BBS. The Osage Rub/444 combination almost hurt, it was so cold, but it dried down to a lovely finish.
All in all a fantastic start to the day.

That was an amazing shave for a first pass shave, almost BBS from a first pass with minor touch up, the Feather razor is a fantastic shaver once you master the technique, it's so smooth I haven't used a DE for a few weeks, and I dont know if I will be going back anytime soon.

 

Friday’s shave:

Happy Friday From Florida!

Friday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/new Wilkinson Sword (last one)
Italian Palmolive Menthol SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Obsession For Men EDT

The best way for me to describe this shave would be brrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful - the Italian Palmolive Menthol cream not only has the wonderful lather and lovely minty scent which I love so much, it has the kind of menthol effect which hits you on contact. The Osage Rub is another great face-freezer!

 

hope you're feeling better soon so you can enjoy the wicked awesome wather that's coming this weekend!!

 

TGIF!!! 03-09-2012

Black Sabbath (complete disco on random, cranked)
Schick Injector L1
VDH Deluxe Soap
Little Best Badger
Floid Blue

Kept it simple this morning and ended up with 95% BBS with a little bit of red dots on my neck, which I'll attribute to this being shave #5 on the vintage Krona blade First run with the deluxe soap, love it! I need a system for storing and identifying all of these pucks of soap I seem to have all of a sudden, I'm thinking labelled zip loc baggies in a loc'nloc, any suggestions?

Have a great Friday!
