SoS: April 28, 2014 - May 4, 2014

Saturday:
hot shower
Homemade PSO
Parker 80R 2+ passes
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless green (4)
Tweezerman HIS Deluxe badger
LASS Woody Lavender soap in a warm mug plus extras
Thayers Lavender w/aloe
Old Spice Musk AS

4th shave with the green Gillette and I think I'm done with the 5 shave test. Maybe in a different razor someday.

I've got a full jar of the Woody Lavender but I also had a sampler that I put in my mug on Thursday so I could have the little container and this morning there was still a bit of soap left so I added a small squirt of Coates Lavender and a small squirt of Coates Sandalwood and got a surprisingly good result. One thing for sure about the LASS product is you get a lot for your money.

Have you tried the Stetson AS with Aloe? It's in the cologne section at Walmart, not the shaving section. It's very nice.

 

SATURDAY
After seeing Lindyhopper's pink Clauss yesterday (post#220), I was suitably inspired to break out my Clauss for this morning's shave.
Basic black scales…Excellent results! The 'SMSABBSBC'* leaves my skin feeling great!

Have a blessed Saturday!

Brush: Vie-Long

Well, I think I'm done with the '51 Tech. The head is in very nice shape, but I can get a nicer shave form my WW2 Tech. Not sure what I'll do with the '51 yet...
DFS from the straight today, no nicks, cuts or irritation. Can't ask for more then that! The neck is more of a sociably acceptable shave, which is good enough for my weekend, but it would have been nice if I could have gotten matching result from the straight and DE. Maybe tomorrow.

 

Razor: GEM Feather weight
Blade: GEM SS
Brush: Semogue 830
Lather: 3p

Not a good shave. Got a few weepers and a really bad nick the back of my neck. This is a very mild razor but this continues the trend of mild razors nicking me ie. Push Button. I can't feel what the blade is doing.

Saturday, May 3, 2014

Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion
Razor: EJ DE89 Head w/ Weber Classic Handle
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
Cream: Cella
Brush: Oscar 11 w/ Omega 20248 Knot
Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion
Aftershave: British Sterling

I wasn't going to shave today, but a package from Italian Barber arrived and I just had to try out some of its contents. I have read so many posts praising the greatness of Cella so I had to order some and give it a try. I'm happy to say that rumors of its greatness were not exaggerated. The scent is wonderful and this has to be the easiest lathering soap I have ever used. The lather was as slick as any cream I've used and gave an absolutely terrific shave.

Have a great day!
