    It was a great and refreshing shave. I like Gillette Super Speed's shave so much. I tried to find the razor locally but end up online :) I had a very close shave with it in BBS grade.

    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog Original face wash, Sandalwood bar soap

    Soap/cream- Taylor of old bond street Sandalwood shaving cream

    Brush- Whipped dog 24mm silvertip

    Razor- Gillette Slim adjustable(5)

    Blade- LADAS

    Post- Cold water rinse, mentholated Pinaud Clubman Original aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm

    The scent of this cream is so damn nice, and wow.. It lathers itself hahaha.

    I got an Okey lather for a first time. It was weird it was dissipating on some places and drying on other.. How can I have to little and to much water in the same lather? Haha I guess I need to get to know the cream first. But I can definitely see TOBS becoming a PERMANENT member of my den =D

    LADAS blades..... I have a love/hate relationship with this blade. I get amazing shaves with them WHEN they work. Sometimes I get a blade that doesn't cut, I don't get this with other blades. There is visible differences in the bevel! So it's gotta be that. Today I opened a new blade, tossed it after the shave. Out of 4 different "sides" of the blade,only 1 was good and another 1 was just okey. I can see this blade being a Go2, but the inconsistency of it is a turnoff. Anyone experience this?

    Friday's Shave

    Prep: Hot shower w/ Grandpa's Pine Tar
    Cream: Kiss My Face Lavender
    Brush: Omega 13522
    Razor: '52 Gillette Super Speed black tip
    Blade: store brand Israeli Personna
    Post: Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Balm

    Think I'm coming down with something, feeling run down and woke up late for the second day in a row!

    Decided to try the black tip with something I knew I liked, and didn't have time to use something that took a lot of work to lather, so I used the KMF. Quick, decent 2 pass shave, out the door by 0610 and on post by 0655.

    Decent shave this morning but could have been better. The edge wasn't quite where it needed to be. Have a good one.

    I love my old Tech but I have to agree here. I get great shaves with enough effort and time, but not super close.

    Have you ever accidentally snorted lather up into your sinuses while shaving? Don’t do it. It BURNS. A lot. Made my eyes water. I had to stop shaving and address the issue before I could continue. There is still a mild lingering burnning sensation up there. I presume it will fade eventually....

    That Shave Life!

    Sotd started out with fuzzy face burnt sugar soap and and unknown Parker safety bar razor, soap would not lather thickly and the razor was so mild so I traded them in for more my two old reliables. TFS soaps always lathers well no matter what I do, and fatip on burled maple handle ( almost as close as the muhle r41 but without have the chance of burn).
