Been there, done that! Dropped my favorite bowl in the sink and cracked it a while back. I guess that's what's known as a bowl movement.
It is a loaned razor. It will be going back to its owner at the end of this week. All the "history" that I have had with it is a weeks worth of shaves.
Prep PSC Tabac SC Muhle Synthetic Brush Gillette "Super Click" plastic razor Gillette Thin blade (1st shave) Osage Rub GFT Skin Food ASG - Sandalwood GFT ASL - Spanish Leather Good day all! I am now on a few days off in the lovely Kingdom of Thailand. I know it is OC week but yesterday while I was in the TESCO department store I spotted this Gillette razor. It cost all of 22 Baht (US $0.72) and even came with a blade!! Okay... I just couldn't pass that that up. How was the shave? Pretty darn good! It is a fun little razor which is easy to use yet can provide a nice BBS shave. Cool! I may buy a bunch for future TSD giveaways. I think the razor may be the same as the Lord Click. I will know for sure next week because I have a Lord click on the way from Shoe Box Shave Shop. I will be more than ready for "Cheap Week", LOL!! Cheers, Lyndon

Shave of the Day (SOTD) Friday October 5, 2012 Prep: Brush soaking in cold water, face wash with Noxzema Triple Clean, tepid shower Razor: Cadet TP-26 Open Comb Blade: Vokshod Teflon Coated (2) Brush: Semogue SOC Cherrywood Boar Cream: Mystic Men Menthol AS: Brut Attitude Post: Cold Water Rinse, Double Splash Of Aftershave The Vokshod preformed so well in the FaTip that I wanted to try it in my favorite open comb, the Cadet. I have not used the Mystic Men in a while just because after using the Lea Menthol the Mystic Men feels like it has no menthol. It is still a great cream for an outstanding price. The Semogue SOC boar whipped up so much lather in less than a minute that I probably had enough lather for five passes. Two passes and minor touch-ups on each side of Adam's apple and I had a BWS (Brazilian Wax Smooth) face.
