TUES. 1/13 RAZOR: '58 Fat Boy BLADE: SuperMax Platinum SOAP: Proraso green BRUSH: WD silvertip AS: Barbasol Pacific Rush Shave #4 with the Fat Boy / SuperMax combo. (I figured out what shave I'm on). Opinion on the SuperMax is that it is OK, pretty good, in fact, but doesn't seem to get close enough. Tomorrow a new Astra.
Today I combined my favorite soap (Provence Sante) with my favorite Sandalwood cream (OAS Sandalwood) for a wonderfully creamy and scent filled shave. Unfortunately, my Voskhod was a bit over used, so I restrained myself to only 2 passes, which resulted in a decently smooth shave. Provence Sante AOS Sandalwood Slim adjustable Voskhod blade

Oh ya! I'll even make a note on my calender for this one. 6/8 T.I. TOBS Sandalwood homemade brush Nice shave with a vintage T.I. this morning. The TOBS soap has nowhere near the potency (scent) of the cream which is a bit of a disappointment but performance is still good. Have a good one.

13 Jan 2015 Pre - Corn Huskers Soap - MWF Brush - WD Silvertip 24/50 Razor - L3 Super speed flair tip Blade - Ladas (2) AS - Pinaud Clubman Musk A couple more firsts again. 1. Superspeed with Ladas, perform excellent together for another great DFS shave. 2. MWF. The stars must have been aligned as I was able to generate plenty of rich, thick lather just like any other soap really. The difference is the performance. Slickest soap I have and post shave is fantastic!
I took the picture of my razors with my android phone. I then open the Photo Lab app, chose the New Reality section, scrolled down to the Autumn Pencil Drawing filter. I picked the picture that I had taken with my phone and pressed the check mark to apply the filter. The Photo Lab app does its magic and saves the file to my phone.

Tyr's Day: Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac Preshave balm Soap: Stirling Coconut Lime/Godrej Lemon-Lime Fresh uberlather Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC Nickel Blade: Asco SS (2) Passes: WTG, XTG (3, 4) Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Dickinson's WH, RazoRock Cumba Cheech AS lotion Cologne: Burberry Brit by Burberry Another uberlather today, to finish up the last of the Stirling Coconut Lime sample. Combined with the Godrej, the lather was particularly voluminous, if not as slick as when I combined it the Speick. Perhaps because of this, or perhaps because the Asco dulled more quickly than I anticipated, 2 passes weren't quite as close today as 2 passes yesterday, though I'd still call the results a DFS, and I still avoided bloodshed or irritation.
Day 13 BSG ATT S1 Kronos Rapira PL Plisson Cade Soap and Balm 3 pass DFS today with no touch ups. I pushed the ATG a little too much on my lip. A little redness, but nothing too bad.
