    That razor looks like the little brother of the robot Gort from the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still"! I love it!

    Thursday's
    ZCOLDWATER.jpg

    Nivea Men's Face Wash
    Proraso Green
    Wild Cherry PTS
    Schick L-1
    Personna Injector
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Aqua Velva

    The Proraso Green Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Wild Cherry PTS Brush. Two passes with my Schick L-1 and a new Personna Coated SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I used the eshave one last week. I've mainly been using the synthetics, but it's fun to try out the badger again. I love the tight lush feel of this one, Gary.

    Here's how I plan to shave Thursday morning:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/7 AM day 3
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Gold Bond Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Pour Un Homme de Caron EdT

    Back to the deep freeze for me and I can't wait - any time I use my Glacial Lemon Chill soap I know I'm going to be treated like a king. The scent is brilliant - it's a perfect balance of intense menthol and fresh lemon, the lather is a pleasure to work with, and within seconds the powerful arctic-like effect hits like ten tons of icy bricks. Not that I want to sound so biased, but these Stirling soaps give me the BEST skincare of all soaps I tried in my entire life. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Penguin will also do a number on me! (Man oh man, it's going to be so much fun shaving!) ;) :D

    Day 18 - Thirty Days with Merkur 34c (Jan 1-Feb 4 [No shave on Saturdays]) BSG 1-21-2015

    Hot Shower and Prep - Nivea Men Sensitive Skin Face Wash
    Razor Merkur 34c
    Blade Astra SP (6)
    Brush - Plisson Synthetic
    Lather - Proraso Green
    Post - Warm water rinse, Maggard Razor Alum, wait 30 seconds then cool water rinse, Neutrogena Razor Defense Post Shave Lotion

    Three passes but a poor shave. - Messed up on my second pass - forgot what direction I was supposed to go in. No irritation or nicks but not very close. Perhaps I had exceeded the efficiency of my blade. - But tomorrow is a new day

    I like it a lot, to me it is refined barbershop. It last along time, this is my second bottle and there is another in the wings. A few years ago there were some kind of import or licensing problem and i think it can only be bought outside of the USA. If I had to trow everything out except one this would stand. It does have long legs in the summer, it does a great gob of an aftershave and dries down great. Well i know what i am using in the morning after that speech, convinced myself.
