Another straight shave. It is a real pleasure to have enough time for long-lasting shave... 8/8 W&B restored by Glen Vie-Long horsehair brush Williams mug soap (thanks, Jeff 'crackstar'!) Cold water splash Alum Men's Choice Brisk AS splash Nice shave. Was in mood to use alum before AS splash and I liked the experience. Now I'm alternating 2 straight each shave to figure out if I like narrow or wide blades more. Seems, I need to finally hone my 6/8 Vostok razor and finish the old wedge...
Ohhhhhhhhh, my dear friend - I admire the courage you have to use the straights. Me, I can still manage a good and safe, smooth shave with one, but I have become nervous to use it.
Good morning! After an interrupted night (to respond to my son’s call for room-service ;-), I had enjoyed a very nice shave ritual in 2 passes on this Thursday: Musgo Real pre shave oil Martin de Candre scented shave soap Mühle Basic Nr. 02 shave brush with Silver Tip Fibre Merkur Futur on a setting of 2.5 Feather FH-10 stainless steel blade Bloc Osma Alum D.R.

Ack! Happy Wednesday I have injured my right shoulder/neck muscle last week. It is not comfortable, and makes moving my right arm and neck uncomfortable. Shaving has kind of taken a back-seat to the pain. However, my shave for today was: Warm Shower Green Marvy Mug Omega Pro Boar JM Fraser's SC Lord L6 Feather (3) Cool Water Rinse Victoria's Secret "Sunset Bloom" Body Lotion Victoria's Secret "Sunset Bloom" Body Spray DFS even though it truly felt like I was performing Yoga in the shower.

Hope you'll be getting and feeling better soon, Shawna. I can imagine that both the shoulder and neck muscle injured really pains at every movement (and sleeping). Not cool!
Thursday 16Aug12 I didn't shave for a couple fo days due to my work schedule. I woke up late this morning (again), and I thought I was going to miss my shave again, when my wife graciously let me get in the shower ahead of her. So the morning started off rocky, but rapidly improved. Newmans Own coffee, black (love coffee with my shave) Proraso white soap Simpsons Berkley 46, face lather Gillette New razor, with Gillette 7O'Clock Super Platinum Blue Alcolado Glacial splash, and Gillette extreme cooling balm This was a three pass DFS+. I have not used the Gillette New in some time, and it was a much better shave than I previously remember. This was an absolutely fantastic shave. Had my coffee, had my proraso white, had my face freezers. Just great. Have a great day
Thursday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Rapira day 4 Arko Ice Mint SC Gillette Series Intense Cooling AS Balsam Alt Innsbruck AS Dolce & Gabbana EDT I absolutely LOVE this Arko Ice Mint cream - it's the only one from Arko that has a significant cooling sensation. It also gives wonderful, rich lather, and it smells so nice. The Gillette Series balsam and the Alt Innsbruck gave plenty of additional freezing afterwards to make this shave a true delight!
Ok, let me try this Wednesday 15.08.2012 @ 21.00 CET Shower and face wash using Bulldog face and body wash gels. Proraso Green Preshave Cream - Used before each pass Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood Shave Cream - Sample Pack Muhle Classic Style Silvertip Brush Size L Merkur 34c HD Razor using Treet Platinum blades Alum Block T&H Grafton After Shave Balm And after approx. 30 min when my face start tightening up, I put on some Fitjar After Shave balm to see if this elevates my "Cher condition" It did... for now.
