    Late Tuesday, July 3rd

    • Eucerin cream
    • Warm shower
    • Omega Pro boar
    • MWF :happy088:
    • Merkur 23c w/ Astra SP
    • Cetaphil Gentle cleanser
    • Nivea Sensitive

    BBS- by means of wtg, xtg, atg, atg. Second atg was more of an all face touch-up.

    MWF has been a wonderfully consistent performer for me.

    Wednesday, July 4

    Krusius Bros 5/8 KB Extra-66 (cheeks only-wtg)
    EJ DE86
    Iridium (d2)
    DR Harris Arlington
    Tweezerman
    Proraso
    TSD Florida Water Type Cologne
    Result: Did my maiden voyage with my first straight this morning, which was fresh back from honing by gssixgun. Took it slow, doing cheeks only wtg for 2 passes, then finishing with the EJ. No weepers, so I call that a victory!

    BBS again, and Super-Brrrrrrrrrrr Cold and Beautiful is the best way to describe this shave. Wow, is this Vostok cream ever powerfully-mentholated - in fact, it's almost as strong as Iced Subzero cream or soap. The Barbon and 444 also joined forces to make the end of the shave a frigid delight! ;) :D

    Happy 4th of July to all my dear American friends!

    Palmolive Cream (Brussels)

    Was trying to see how many shaves I could get from one of the re-branded Personas. Turns out it is only four. Had to stop and put in a new one as the first started tugging. Well, now I know; four is max. Got a bottle of Floid a while back. Tried it this morning. Don’t hate it but not sure if I love it.

    5/8 T.I.
    Mystic Water/self scented and mentholated (lavender and a touch of vetiver)
    homemade 2 band
    Osage Rub

    A warm and muggy morning, a good time for some menthol. My cold water shave was excellent this morning. The T.I. is holding it's edge wonderfully. I've already been in the shop working on a few handles. I even talked the wife to using a Schick on her legs this morning. Have a good 4th.
