I understand, I have had this stuff off and on for several weeks and it finally became an ear infection, then the doc said, we will give you some antibiotics. Take care and get plenty of rest if you are able to get over it.

 

GD, thanks.
Ugh, ear infection. Hate them. I had one for about a year. Antibiotic after antibiotic. It would go away, and come back, go away, come back, et al.
I hope yours clears up fast.

 

Get better! Fluids and rest.

"The Modern Wetshave"
New Style DE Razor
New Horse&Badger Knot Brush
Modern Scented Soap and Aftershave
DFS!​

 

Hot shower,Williams Shave soap,Omega 20106 Boar,Vintage Gillette DE,Mennen Skin Bracer
PS...my blade was a generic CVS DE

 

DFS shave today. The DVH stick really impressed me. It doesn't take much to get a thick abundant lather. Its scent kind of reminds me of clean laundry, very neutral. a Personna Med Prep in my Schick Krona is probably one of the best combos I can come up with. The Razorock XXX AS by Fine is a gem too. I wish I would have bought another bottle, this is a limited run edition. It has great skincare and a potent dose of menthol.

 

First shave with the Bullet Tip. This has to be the smoothest razor Ive used. Very mild yet very close shaving.

 

Dove Men's Face Wash
TABAC Shaving Soap
Frank Shaving Finest Badger
Cadet TP-30
Astra Superior Platinum (7)
CWR
Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Clubman AS

The Tabac shaving soap performed well being face lathered with my Frank Shaving finest badger brush. This was my final shave with the Cadet TOP-30 and the Astra Superior Platinum blade. It bit me twice. Ouch. Two passes and touchups left me near BBS.

 

When Dodi says a soap is good, that soap is good - glad you enjoyed it!

 

Saturday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
#6 Horsehair
Super Speed/Sharp day 6
Stirling Black Ice SS
Thayers Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer

Originally I wanted to use the Black Ice soap yesterday, but somehow the container that I keep it in got jammed and I was in a hurry so I didn't have the time to un-jam it, but I did this morning, and let me tell you guys that it performed beautifully. That black licorice scent is NICE, and I had enough lather to do ten passes. That menthol effect sure felt great and the skincare of this soap is brilliant. Let's say also that Rod is a genius at soap-making, and I can't wait to receive my order of the new soaps so I could make some comparisons. The witch hazel and the Skin Bracer felt wonderful after this great shave.
