    Well the cat snuck in the bathroom when I wasn't looking,just as I finished lathering for my first pass.He likes to jump on my back, but I caught him before the leap this time.Believe me claws + no shirt+ razor = multiple weepers.I suspect he thinks the white stuff on my face is whipped cream which is one of his favorites. He ran off before I could let him sample some lather,I figure a whiff of Arko with M-Bomb will show him the error of his ways.

    Anyways it was a great 2 pass shave,1 pass head BBS all around.

    Another ice water shave today. Just have to work too hard to get a good lather when using ice water. Not for me. Once I get the lather up, though, it really isn't that bad.

    Each morning starts with a hot shower, a brush soaking.

    Friday's Scorecard
    Proraso Glycerin facial prep
    Brush choice, LuJin badger
    Soap Choice, Mama Bear's Hydrogen
    Featured Razor, Gillette Rocket
    Blade Choice, Gillette 7o'clock Black

    Post Shave, cold water splash, RazoRock alum, TSD Angel.

    The lather this morning was super rich and so voluminous that it was leaping out of the bowl. Great lather plus three passes resulted in a spectacular DFS

    Pre: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Soap
    Family Dollar Deep Cleansing Skin Cream
    Cream: Trumpers Eucris
    Brush: Semogue 1460 Natural Boar Bristle
    Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89L
    Blade: Astra Superior Premium Platinum
    Post: Thayers Alcohol-Free Unscented Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner
    A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

    A near BBS shave today using Trumpers Eucris for the first time. The Eucris gave me a beautiful, thick lather and more than enough for three passes. As always, loved the Captain's Choice Bay Rum.

    Friday!

    Warm Shower
    Green Marvy Mug
    Omega Pro Boar
    Proraso Green (in the tub, does that even matter?)
    Lord L6
    Treet (2)
    Cool Water Rinse
    Proraso liquid ASB

    First time I've used the Proraso although Jeff has been after me for a while to try it. Meh. The lather was nice but I much prefer the other mentholated products we have.

    I am enjoying this blade though, very nice.

    Have a good rest of your Friday! :)

    Friday morning:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/Shark day 5
    Gada Cool Mint SC :love029: :love029: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Osage Rub AS :love029: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    444 AS Balsam:love029: :love029: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Obsession for Men EDT

    This was a good shave, but not BBS. More like a DFS, but I was rather hurried this morning because I overslept by a half hour. The Gada Cool Mint cream is extra-special to me because of the lovely lemony-minty scent and super-rich lather and its awesome menthol effect. Ohhhhhhhhh, the Osage Rub and 444 felt like an icy paradise afterwards. ;) :D

    Ranger Tech with Voshkod (1st shave)

    Some nicks I wasn't expecting, but I'm chalking that up to the blade being right out of the box and so expect (hope) next couple shaves from this blade are better. Nothing alum block and a small round band-aid didn't fix. 2 pass BBS.

    a/s - a blend I made a few years ago (I may have been drinking at the time) containing the dregs of near-empties. The bottle only says: Hai Karate, lime, pine, orange, something called "Close" and somethings else called "Islander." I must have been drinking. Doesn't smell bad, though.

    Live Dangerously, Blend Dangerously, Smell Dangerously, I always say.
