February 25, 2015 "My Day Off Shave" Prep: Hot Shower, plain Dove soap as face wash Pre Shave: Homemade Preshave Oil with Peppermint infused Soap: Van Der Hagen Brush: Omega Boar Razor: Merkur 38hd Barber Pole Blade: Astra SP Post Shave: Gentleman Jon Alum block, Witchhazel with peppermint infused, Nivea Cooling Post Shave Balm, Proraso Pre/Post Thoughts: This was a great shave with the second time using the Merkur Barber Pole, I simply can't say enough good things about it. It performs just as it should and makes for a great shave at the end. I'm a big fan of Van Der Hagen and it never disappoints, on an up note you know with soaps like that you can have an amazing shave on the cheap. Hope everyone has a great day! P.s. Football season may be over but had to showcase my Mizzou towel! MIZ-ZOU!
25 Feb 2015 Pre - Corn Huskers Soap - RR XXX Brush - Turkish #6 Razor - 66 Slim Adj (8,6,4) Blade - Astra SP (1) AS - Pinaud Clubman Musk Nothing exciting, just a close comfortable shave.
I hear you Guy! If Obi were to auction off his Cobalt OS Mug, he would be rich! Those are some beautiful creations.
Odin's Day: Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Deep Cleaning Gentle Scrub, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger Soap: Ginger's Garden Oakmoss glycerin Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (4) Passes: WTG, XTG (7, 8) Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, Pinaud Clubman AS splash Cologne: Aoud Forest by Montale (sample) After a 2-pass shave yesterday, I had hoped that better lather would enable 3 passes and near BBS results today. The Ginger's Garden whipped up with the Simpson 56 provided the better lather, but unfortunately, the Bic declared itself done, producing a weeper in the soul patch area that was sufficient to cause me to declare the shave completed after 2 passes, with otherwise DFS results. Luckily, I find the Clubman to be healing, and - unlike some here - don't mind the scent or its strength.
Wednesday SOTD Today is the the 11th shave on this Schick blade, and it is time to let it go to the the blade graveyard. Tomorrow is a new day and the Gillette Super Speed is next in the rotation. Dave
I have the Omega Barber Boar as well but yet to break that beast in! Guess i need a marathon of endless use with it for a while!
Continuing on with the "Mystery Razor from Argentina" - or "Sidewinder" as @Herm2502 so cleverly suggested - this week. The shave was better than yesterday - the roller guards are still 'entertaining' me and how they roll on the face but more importantly the end-result was a very nice shave. It's not the most efficient razor I've ever used but it sure has some charm. Razor: "Sidewinder" Blade: Ladas Brush: L'Occitane Plisson Soap: Panna Crema Vetiver A/S: Sample of Lucky Tiger from Garry's Sample shop
2/25/2015 Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO Razor: Cobra Classic, Imperial Razor Barbers Favorite straight razor Blade: Kai Captain Mild (3) Brush: Turkish #6 Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat After: Home made ASB, Grey Flannel ASB Cologne: Grey Flannel A 2 pass Darn Fine Shave + this morning. The MWF was whipped into a nice lather by the #6. The Cobra and the BF did a good job knocking down the stubble. My face soaked up the GF ASB with no problems and the Grey Flannel will have me smelling good all day. Have a blessed day!
I'm not much help describing scents ! I would say on the sweeter side, a little powdery maybe... there's a menthol content which is nice and cooling. The scent doesn't hang around long about an hour for me. I like all the Myrsols that I've tried.
February 25 Razorock Jaws Hammer / Shark (2) L'Occitane Cade TBS Synthetic Retinol ASB N'Rams Citrus Bay Rum Giving the Jaws some love. I have way too many vintage razors that give me shaves as good as I get from the Jaws. I an using the synthetic with a variety of soaps to evaluate the performance. It seems like the synthetic likes MWF more than the Cade. Great shave today
