SoS: February 16, 2015 - February 22, 2015

Thank you! It's a great brush and a face lathering dynamo.

 

Nice job on the Single Ring Herm! Those are excellent razors and will provide you with another 100 plus years of service.

 

Since 1997. Grueling but very rewarding.

 

Friday's Planned SOTD

Bowl: Georgetown G12

​

Glad to be home and back in my own bed as I had a heck of time last night waking up six times before the alarm went off. Takes me days to adjust to a new bed and I really dislike overnight trips just for that reason alone. Plan a nice shave for the day but the PoliSilver is getting long on the tooth and I think tomorrow or Saturday will be time to retire the blade. Could be just the Gillette Old Type OC that I used this morning is not a good match for the Vintage PoliSilver but will wait and see.​

​

 

IMHO I don't think Osage is too cold. Mixing it 50/50 with skin bracer really balances it out.

 

How do you like the Myrsol? Have you tried any of the other Myrsol's? Does it compare to Floid? Haven't tried any of them but they look great! Price scares me a little however.

 

Planned for Friday
64' slim
Rapira blade

I am a menthol junkie sometimes...Osage, SB, AV and TSD Iced SubZero AS are my top 4. I mostly use Osage on my scalp.

Friday Morning Shave
Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
Brush: Isana Men Pure Badger

My shave was very, very close and smooth. However the Proraso Green soap's lather seemed a bit thinner than I'm accustomed to at first, so I had to work at it a little more. Otherwise, all went well.
