SoS: November 17, 2014 - November 23, 2014

Been there done that......(the tooth thing) I feel your pain.

 

Thanks!

 

Thursday Morning Shave
Razor: Gillette Fat Boy (5)
Blade: Rapira (3)
Brush: Isana Men Pure Badger
Soap: Proraso Green
AS: Barbasol Brisk

 

Almost a week's growth...

°Fatip Piccolo on the NEW bar handle
°Big Ben
°TSD vetiver soap

2 pass BBS with a few minor nicks. It's a good razor but no matter how easily I go with the Fatip, I still end up feeling "scraped" instead of merely well shaved, as with the NEW. Going to need to break out the Skin Bracer.

 

Another simply outstanding shave to start my last work day of the week.

Prep: Warm wash
Lather: Old Spice (scuttle)
Brush: Omega 10006 boar
Razor: Gillette LC NewTech
Blade: Voskhod (6)
Post: Old Spice classic scent aftershave

 

Thursday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/7 AM day 7
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Pino Silvestre EdT

On a morning where it's -4C only a hopelessly-addicted menthol monkey like me could choose a set-up like this and I not only enjoyed every minute from it, I had a magnificent shave. The Super Speed/7 AM duo knocked off my stubble so easily and effortlessly, the Glacial Wintergreen soap lathered beautifully and froze my face off - not only that, its scent fills the bathroom while you lather up with it. The skincare from it is perfect. The matching witch hazel kicks the Rubby Dubby Doo in the butt in terms of menthol freezing and gives such a good post-shave feeling. Rod, my friend - yaish sabunak, tislam idak! (Rod, my friend - God bless your hands and long live your soaps!)

 

Why is a thursday the last workday of the week? Lucky guy! =P

 

We have a 4 day school week. We start a little earlier and go a little later each day, but always have a 3 day weekend.

 

SOTD Nov 20

Prep: hot shower
Razor: WW2 Tech
Blade: Treet Platinum (day 1)
Brush: Vie-Long
Soap: Taylor Grapefruit
Passes: 2 (WTG, XTG)
Post: none

Back to a DE today. It was a good shave too. The Taylor Grapefruit did not have a noticeable scent this morning, but it did make up for it in its performance.

 

Thursday, November 20, 2014

Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion
Razor: Schick Adjustable Injector
Blade: Personna (1)
Lather: WSP Rustic Shaving Soap Lavender
Brush: Oscar11 w/ Omega 20248 Knot
Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion
Aftershave: Vintage Shulton Old Spice

Excellent shave. I did not like the Personna Injector blades in my Pal razor, but it worked very well in the Schick Adjustable. It's not quite as sharp as the Schick blade, but still gave a very smooth, close, comfortable shave. I'm BBS with no effort at all.

Have a great day!

 

Classic Shave
Amazing shave today. My HIS whipped the Tabac into optimal lather, as usual. My Aristocrat reported loudly as it smoothly reduced my stubble. Maggard's London Barbershop aftershave is destined to become a classic in its own right, with excellent skin care and a great scent. I finished with Tabac cologne before heading out to shovel some new snow.

Prep: Proraso Green pre barba
Soap: Tabac!
Brush: HIS
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat
Blade: Personna lab blue (1)
AS: Maggard's London Barbershop
EdC: Tabac!

hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Weber PH Bulldog

Another comfortable and quick shave this morning.

That's the same feeling I got and the reason I no longer have a Fatip.

 

Hopefully your hands get better soon! Prayers heding your way.

Early morning shave mit der Böker. I have about a dozen razors I'm prepping to work into the morning rotation, but I fear once I do that, many of my old favs (such as this Böker) may suffer from neglect.
Maybe this is a clear sign that I have simply have too many… I still enjoyed this morning's efforts—a smooth 3-pass, finished with a refreshing splash of the Stirling.

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

 

Schick 66/G4 razor
Personna blade
Colgate Cup Soap
Turkish #6 brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel/Sage mix
CO Bigelow 1585 cologne

Mighty fine shave this morning. The Colgate Cup soap is one of my favorites and never fails to work so very well for me.

Thursday!

• Music: lady of the house showering
• Prep: hot washing cloth
• Brush: VieLong horse
• Soap: Cella
• Razor: Gillette Slim @7
• Blade: Plosilver #2
• Shave: 3-pass + touch-up
• Post: hot water rinse

Good close shave, but a bit too rough for my tastes. So I guess @7 is too much. Tomorrow I'll dial it back to 6 and the day after back to 5.

Have a nice day, ya'll!
