    This week was marked by finishing some of my shaving stuff. First, I used up the last bits of Fitjar Miklagard soap and no have a nice empty tub. Second, I have only a couple of shaves left of my Phyto Expert SC...
    8/8 W&B restored by Glen
    VieLong horsehair brush
    Phyto Expert SC
    Cold water splash

    Nice and smooth. I tried the new touchup routine on 12k and the test shave converted to one of the most comfortable straight shaves I ever had. Seems, it works!

    April 7rd - Late Night Shave
    Beverage: dry
    Music: Ska from Sky.fm radio
    Prep: Nivea Face Wash
    Pre-Lather: Ogalalla Bay Rum Co SC
    Razor: Ball end Tech, A1 (1955)
    Brush: Vulfix 660S Super Badger
    Blade: Ladas (3)
    Soap/Cream: GFT Coconut SC
    Post: 5Savages After Shave
    AS: Masters Bay Rum, Nivea Revitalizing Q10
    BBS!

    Tech + Ladas = awesome, comfortable shave.
    The OBR soap made my face sting a bit. I'm not sure what flavor it is, so I'll have to see what I have remaining and go through the process of elimination. I'm betting it's Bay Rum & Sandalwood, since I just had some face burn from TOBS sandalwood soap.
    The GFT Coconut performed fine, but I could not smell any coconut. My daughter came home and I had her smell it and she had no problem with it. I'm going through my samples on weekends and this is the first GFT I've used. This first lather is not quite as good as the T&H creams I've tried, but it worked fine.
    Masters Bay Rum seems a little musty to me.

    Sunday - Happy Resurrection Day!!

    Prep: 30 minute marinade with TSD ISZ PSB, hot shower, soak brush
    CD: Ron Kenoly ~ Jesus is Alive

    Couldn't take it any longer. Had to grate the Irisch Moos stick into a bowl. Just don't like face lathering.
    This soap is fantastic. It would be nice if they sold it in puck form. Oh, well, as long as I have a cheese grater...!

    The Colonel
    Martin de Candre
    Proraso Pre
    Proraso AS

    Today was the first shave in many days! I wanted it to he perfect because of it being Sunday, Easter, and the first shave in almost a week. The MdC lathered easily, the razor was able to mow through the heavy growth, and the proraso AS was the perfect finishing touch! The result was a irritation- free BBS! :)

    Sunday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/Shark day 5
    Mystic SC :love029: :love029: :love029: :love029:
    Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS :love029: :love029: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:

    A beautiful shave which I enjoyed so much - the Mystic cream from Bulgaria is a most brilliant performer. The scent is really nice and classy, the lather is rich and easy to create, and it soothes sensitive skin very well. Unfortunately, although menthol is listed as an ingredient, there's no cooling effect. I had to depend on the Aqua Velva for that, and it came through for me ;) :D Sorry, no pictures today!
