The Krampert's menthol calmed it out down & left me smelling fine & feeling smooth.

March 30th - Late night shave Beverage: Gin & Tonic (Bombay Sapphire) Music: Cajun Fest on Tunein Radio (smartphone app) Prep: Nivea Face Wash Pre-Lather: Sara-s homemade Vetyver shaving soap, followed by grape seed oil w/ EOs Razor: Merkur 38M Brush: Vulfix 660S Blade: Sputnik (2) Soap: Mystic Water - Lily of the Valley Post: Witch Hazel AS: Myrsol Agua Balsamica BBS! I found out a couple of things. First, Cajun music is great music to build lather to. The dancing about seems to accelerate the lather building process. Second, Cajun music is not what you want to listen to when actually shaving. It's hard not to slice yourself when you try to dance and shave at the same time. The second shave with the Sputnik went much better than the first. I credit that to prep. Face wash, followed by about 2 or 3 minutes of lather sitting on my beard, rinse, then my grape seed oil mix. There were times I didn't even feel the blade. VERY nice! This would be a great blade if not for the fact that I can get the same or better result with the cheaper Voskhod. I'm loving this Mystic Water soap. I've had 19 shaves and 1 or 2 test lathers on a 0.75 ounce sample with several more to go. There are a couple of folks across the street who sa they cannot get it to work for them. I don't doubt them at all, but I do wonder how that could possibly be. I'm a noob, doing nothing special that I can tell, and I'm getting loads of awesome lather. The photo below is what is left AFTER 3 passes! It loads easy, it builds lather easy, and it shaves great.
L'Occitane Lavender Soap Feather AC - SS Feather Blade Pro 5 Simpson Chubby 1 in Super Vito's Coconut & Almond Alum & Witch Hazel Botanics Moisturiser SPF 15 Coty Raw Vanilla Eau De Cologne Jamie. One pass shave with minor clean up, the Vito's Coconut & Almond really is a top class performer, but why they call it super Coconut i will never know? because i've got a really good sense of smell and can barely detect coconut in this soft soap, but on the other hand if you like almonds then it's the one you should try, a great soap.
Friday: Prep: hot water splash, hot washing cloth Music: Daft Punk, Tron Legacy soundtrack Brush: DVH boar Cream: TSD Oak Leaves & Acorns Razor: Gillette flare tip Rocket Blade: Merkur, 1st shave Shave: 3-pass Nice 'n' easy DFS. - o - o - o - o - o - Saturday: Prep: hot water splash, hot washing cloth Music: Sammy Rimington, The Sammy Rimington Band Brush: DVH boar Soap: vintage Williams Razor: Rrrrrrollllssss! Shave: 3-pass Leisurely shaved this morning. Took the time to savour it. Listening to some old-fashioned jazz, enjoying every second of both (music and shave). Resulted in a wonderful BBS (the shave, not the music). Exellent shave despite one weeper. Closed up fine. What else to ask for? Have a great weekend!
Isn't she lovely, a native African women from Swaziland, the hair fit's the tribe, made of soap stone. She's been with me for many years, i picked her up on my travels, from the beautiful towm of Lagos, but pronounced Lagoosh on the Portuguese Algarve coast. Jamie.
Saturday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Shark day 3 Gada Cool Mint SC Diana Sport Menthol Balsam Obsession For Men EDT I hate to have to shave fast when I use my Gada Cool Mint cream because it prevents me from enjoying the experience to the maximum, but I had no choice this morning. I have to work today, and that already has me in a bad mood. Still, a good shave.
