Hot water splash
Palmolive Classic Stick
WD Silver Tip
'47 Aristocrat
Wilkinson Sword (1)
Warm Rinse
Cold Rinse
WH
Barbon AS
RSC PS Balm

Love the smell of Palmolive Stick. Another great shave with the Aristocrat. And the Barbon and RSC Balm played very nicely together. That's all I know.

 

Wednesday:

#6 Horsehair
Super Speed/Rapira day 3
Palmolive Classic SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Sir Canada Cedar AS
Givenchy Gentleman EDT

A silky-smooth BBS shave this morning which was dedicated to my dear friend Thorsten in Germany. I always loved the Palmolive Classic cream because of its wonderful lather and skincare and nice scent. This Canada Cedar aftershave is a very rare gem now - I received it at least 7 years ago.

 

Gillette New Improved UFO Goliath
Voskhod
Semogue 2000
Institut Karite
Alum
Superior 70

Once again, a very nice shave today.

 

Wednesday!

• Prep:hot shower
• Brush: TGN Super Silvertip
• Cream: Proraso Green
• Lather: Bowl lather in a suribachi for bowl lather week.
• Razor: Gem MM Clog-Pruf
• Blade: Gem CS (2)
• Shave: 3-pass
• Post: cold water rinse and Proraso aftershave

The Clog-Pruf didn't give quite as close a shave as the Open Comb I used on Sunday. Very nice shave though.

 

6/8 Case
Castle Forbes Lime
22mm Omega boar knot

Yesterday I showed off my favorite razor. The Case I used today will probably bump the Spear out of the N0. 1 spot soon. This is a fairly new razor, I think I've used it twice but is a superbly comfortable razor that takes a great edge and delivers a nice shave.
BTW, I'll probably have to eat a little crow over the Castle Forbes but I'm still not wild about the scent but performance is darn good. Have a good one. I noticed the knot on the center brush isn't straight, it's not glued just stuck in for the pic.

 

Tuesday Evening Shave

Gillette #66
Personna Plat
Omega #45
Ingram SC
Proraso Splash
Axe Chilled Gel

Shave last night after a run (first run in months). It was a good shave, still smooth this morning.

 

Just give me the green light my friend and I will send you more of this cream and its new variant Lemon-Line,which I already I love

 

Wednesday 15-05-2013

Razor: Merkur 37c Slant
Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
Brush: Omega 10029
Cream: SuperMax Ultimate Lemon Lime
AS: No today

 

Well...Experiment complete. The scent didn't seem to be affected too much. Still had the classic scent and after adding about 2 grams of menthol crystals I got a great cooling as well. That stuff is potent! Probably enough to stop a Kodiak Grizzly in his tracks! Thought I had overdone it at first, but turned out great!

 

SOTD Wednesday 5-15-2013

R89/Weber Bulldog w/Crystal
Proraso PSC
Arko SS
GT G4 Scuttle
Omega Boar
Thayer's Witch Hazel
Nivea Replenishing ASB
Old Spice Classic Cologne

The Arko and OS really added a retro feel to this mornings shave. The R89/Weber Bulldog is money!

 

Great shave supposed to be in the 90s today! Limes and rum!

Omega 20102 Pro Boar brush,
C O Bigelow Premium shave Cream,
Topped off with cold water,

This shave was particularly fine! I'm getting the right lather and I'm very find of this Omega. Wasn't feeling well Yesterday so a good shave reall made me happy this morning.

Aces!

 

Gillette slim adjustable
Wilkinson sword
IB LE Semogue
Ogallalla bay rum limes and peppercorns soap and AS
444 balm

Great shave today. Lather was a little thin so I reloaded on my second pass. I added just a small touch of the 444 for some cooling.

 

WSP Prince Brush
TSD Cracking Firewood Soap (thanks Danny)
Facelather
Fatboy with Rapira Platinum Lux for 1 pass (Thanks Danny)
Merkur Progress with Rapira Platinum Lux for two additional passes
Aramis ASL
Tet A Tet AfterShave Balm

The scent of the TSD Cracking Firewood Soap is sooo addicting. The Fatboy had a gap issue, as the gap is larger on one side. It actually looks like a small slant razor. Does anyone know how to fix or who I can ask?

 

Weber
Rapira
Vintage brush restored by Rudy Vey-Finest Badger
CTAPT SC (thanks Dimitri)
TSD Iced Energy Splash (Thanks Stuart and JoAnna)
Neutrogena AS Balm
Music-The Who By Numbers
Java-home roasted Panama
-another fantastic Russian cream-haven't had a bad one yet. JoAnna hit a grand slam with this
scent-it's identical to the soap. Perfect citrus scent that works very nicely with menthol. Ok, I don't think
I've ever experienced anything that doesn't work with menthol.

 

Shower soap from Aleppo
Proraso Pre shave white (old)
SWK XL scuttle
Semogue 2030B
Muhle R41
Polisilver #2
Proraso white (old)
Proraso balm (old)

 

I really like the CTAPT (START) shave cream. The only downside is the small size of the tube. I might have two shaves left in my tube.
