    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    @Herm2502 has named it "The Sidewinder." So now the razor has it's own theme song!

    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.

    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
