Wednesday morning - Prep - Noxzema & hot towel Lather - Cella Extra Extra Purissima & suribachi Brush - Omega 40033 Razor - Gillette Single Ring Blade - Feather (8) 2 pass Warm water rinse & cold water splash Alum block & Witch-hazel AS
August 6 Left cheek is still a bit sore so I am using products I know for now, nothing new. Just 3 WTG passes on my left cheek. But that in mind still a pleasant shave. Razor - Superspeed Blade - Gillette Platinum (day 2) Lather - Cella Aftershave - Proraso Sensitive.
I have one of those Wostey I-XLs on the bench awaiting my attention and a new set of scales. Your experience with it encourages me to bump it up in the queue.
° Personna store brand uncoated stainless ° 1950s TV Super Speed ° Williams clone w/Omega brush Was still good from yesterday but felt like a shave. BBS, no issues. Alum/menthol WH and Brut Splash...this is really weird but on a whim I dropped some menthol crystals into the Brut along with about 4 droppers-full of my WH blend. Shook well and the usual Brut fragrance almost vanished - it's now a ghost of its former self - dethroned by a pronounced woody/citrus note, as best I can describe it. Not bad at all, just very different and unexpected - I never knew Brut had any woodiness or citrus buried underneath.

Produced from 1955 -1960( this is a 1956), the Blue Tip super speed was advertised as a 'Light ' model of razor. With the knurled aluminum handle, it was lighter that the plated brass handles of its counterparts. It was favored my ladies before Gillette marketed the Lady Gillette. Along with the Blue Tip, there was a Silver (Flare Tip) medium, and a Red Tip, Heavy. This is a mild shave. A again, not one of my favorites, but it does do the job.

SOTD - Wednesday, August 6, 2014 Cool shower Prep: Lime PSO Brush: B&B Essential boar Soap: Stirling Grapefruit Razor: Weber PH bulldog Blade: Astra SP (2) Post: Stirling Lemon Chill WH Aftershave: Lime Sec w/ TSD M-Bomb Excellent, 3 pass DFS, citrus shave today. - Don
I can't speak for Don, but I can say I really like the M-Bomb. I'm not a fan of using cooling menthol everyday, but should I be so inclined to get mentholated, 4-6 drops of the M-Bomb onto whatever soap puck I'm using gives me the refreshing chill on those sultry summer mornings (or evenings).
It's good stuff! I recommend that you give it a try. It goes great with the Lime Sec. In fact. I have some menthol crystals and may just decide to mentholate the whole bottle.
Wednesday, August 6, 2014 Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion Razor: EJ DE89 Head w/ Weber Classic Handle Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1) Lather: Body Prescriptions Clean Citron Shaving Cream Brush: Oscar11 w/ Omega 20248 Knot Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion Aftershave: Old Spice I used a shave cream that my wife picked up for me at T.J. Maxx. I got decent results, but don't plan to use it again anytime soon. It doesn't lather. It's plenty slick, but I like a nice thick lather for it's cushioning effects. This creams provides absolutely no cushion. All in all, though, it was a good, close shave. Have a great day!

Two passes with my Schick Eversharp I2 Hydro-Magic and a Schick Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a warm water rinse, alum block, and cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
