THURzDAY
Evening Shave for an Early Tomorrow
Leisurely evening shave tonight after a hectic day at work. Nice hot shower and cap the day off with a decadent shave with my favorite soap (kicked up with TSD Mbomb!) and one of my favorite razors.
Three passes, all with my right (non-dominant) hand. Not quite BBS, but no complaints. All & all, a great finish to the day.

Have a great Thursday, Gents!

 

Thank You We don't think she's going to ever recover according to what I am being told. But as Feisty of an Old Broad She is, she will not only recover but get up and walk out of that place, just for the spite of it!
Also a belated "Happy Birthday".

Being as I am going to go to Los Angeles (against my better judgement) tomorrow, to see my Aunt. (it's probably too late)
I again used the WTG-XTG-ATG method. Being as it has worked well and produces a great DFS Shave. I did get a BBS Shave on this Morning. Also I did get another BBS Shave a few minutes ago. Again as before I did not have any "Nick's or Weeper's" using this method. I will continue using my Wilkinson Sword DE Blades until the weekend. I put in a New Razor Blade on Sunday. I did 2 passes this evening. Got a "Rudy Castiel Clean Used Car" aka "Rudy Castiel Clean Shave" aka BBS Shave!

 

Thank You.

 

Thank You.

 

Proraso White Wedndesday

Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
Soap: Proraso White
Razor: Merkur 23c
Blade: Personna Lab
Brush: VDH Boar
After: Proraso White Balm

 

Not a very pleasant shave. My face has been messed up from using my Injector. I have some acne on my cheeks and it all started when I used my Injector. And the DE wasn't as enjoyable as I remember it being. Since I wasn't having fun, I stopped after one pass for a somewhat acceptable shave. The best part was when I put on the Myrsol. The Formula C is a violet scent and it smelled good and made my skin feel better.

 

Morning Face Shave of The Day - 8/14/14

Prep: wash with Stirling Naked & Smooth
Lather: Stirling Spice
Brush: Omega boar
Razor: Gillette New SC
Blade: Persona Super (6)
Post: Bay Rum sample

Today is my Friday, so I wanted a good shave heading into the weekend. 3 passes and a pretty decent shave all around.
I might try to go hiking this weekend and see if any of the wild blueberries are still around.

Thursday:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Rapira day 4
Iced Subzero SS
Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui EdT

This shave was awesome and done so easily. The ISZ soap will always have a special place in my heart because of its great lather, skincare, and powerful menthol effect. The Penguin made my skin feel so frozen afterwards that I think it'll take a whole day to thaw out. The Rapira blade is still performing like it was brand-new. It's my number one blade brand and I'm hoping to always have them in my rotation.

Lather: MdC
Brush: Simpsons Berkeley 46B
Post: Alum. Dickerson WH
Aftershave: Fine Clean Vetiver
2nd shave with the Bolzano blade, sharp and smooth.

I never doubted that there was menthol in the cream, and I'm sure it is a nice refreshing effect. Unfortunately my face just doesn't seem to notice menthol unless there is snow on the ground.

 

SOTD August 14 - Straight Razor-a-thon

Vacation shave

Prep: hot shower
Razor: G. Wostenholm and Son CANUCK I.XL
Brush: Vie-Long
Soap: Proraso White
Passes: 2 (WTG, XTG)
Post: Witch Hazel
Proraso White is one of my favourite soaps.great smell, easy to lather, awesome consistent performance all around. Unfortunately my performance and the edge on the CANUCK was off today. Despite the tugging I was getting right from the get go, I was able to scrape (pun intended?) away with a DFS.
