SoS: March 16, 2015 - March 22, 2015

Fly me to the Moon, on my night time shave
Razor: Gillette Goodwill #164 1931 (slotted center hole) with original case and blade pack
Brush: e-shave finest Badger
Mug: Old Spice (late glass Mug 02) 1964 – 1978
Cream: The Gentlemen cedar cream
Blade: Feather (1)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Neutrogena Post Shave Balm, Pinaud Clubman AS
Rare night time shave listening to Frank. Loaded a new Feather and checked the alignment. It still looks strange with the studs showing through the top cap, but the Feather was aligned perfectly. I whipped up The Gentlemen cedar, Frank would approve, in a vintage OS mug. Is this great or what. First pass WTG very nice glide with no pressure with this light razor. Second pass XTG on my face and then ATG on my neck. Franks voice was as smooth as the shave. A little touchup on my neck, and done. Great razor! Very smooth. The WH felt good and then some Neutrogena Balm. Will finish off with some Pinaud Clubman, as I head out the door in the morning, listening to some more Frank!

 

Planned for Wednesday
Toro Matador razor
Super-Max Blade
Vintage Rubberset 507 brush
Kramperts Bay Rum Acadian Spice soap
Kramperts Bay Rum Acadian Spice AS
Stingray Bay solid bay rum fragrance
​

Will be the first time using the Toro razor and the brush. The brush is a shedder and due for a new knot but the badger/bristle has great feel and plan on using it right up till replacement.

​

 

Thanks Celestino. The picture was taken a week ago but I only posted it on Polish forum. Because yesterday I used the same set I decided to place it also here.

 

Thank you ObiDon.

Great looking brush. Really deep set.

 

I didn't know this.
German word for "Devil Dogs" is misspelled. In German the term would not be two words, but one. The plural of Hund is Hunde, not "Hunden." So the poster and any Marine references to the German nickname should read Teufelshunde —one word with a connecting s. Most of the references I have found on the Web have the German incorrect in one way or another. Even the Marine Corps' own Parris Island Museum has it wrong. Since the museum's founding in 1975, the sign on display there has read "Teuelhunden" rather than the correct "Teufelshunde."

 

Shave for 18 March 2015

​

 

Shave of the day

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

Soap/cream- Taylor of old bond street Jermyn street collection shaving cream for sensitive skin

Brush- Whipped dog 24mm silvertip

Razor- Merkur 37c

Blade- LADAS(2)

Post- Cold water rinse, Aqua Velva ice blue aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm

A slight razorburn, I need to go easier on the pressure with the Merkur.

The TOBS smells nice, mild and warm scent. Lathered real fast, and provided good protection. The TOBS creams are real nice!

By now, 5-10 minutes after the shave the razorburn is gone. But I need to lay off the pressure =) the Merkur does have more blade exposure than I'm used to, but it's a damn effective shaver!

 

today's shave
hot water wash with nivea men's
rubberset 400
Proraso white
Gillette red tip(b1)
Wilkinson sword(3)
ICED Barbasol pacific rush
today's shave was nice. used some of my rescued antiques. very happy with the 400, old knot and all. the red tip is a great shaver. seems a little thicker than the super speed, but looks same side by side. three passes, nice n smooth. finished with iced rush.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Brush: Ever-Ready 150 TGN 24/54mm Synthetic by GDCarrington
Lather: Shaver Heaven Neroli
Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH.
Aftershave: RazoRock Baby Blue
Shaver Heaven Neroli is pretty darn nice! Cinnamon, fruity goodness. If you haven't tried Shaver Heaven yet, this would be a good time to give them a look. RR Baby Blue, sweet! My ER150.. Oh my. Game changer. Hey the RRBS is the real deal.
Go out and get it

 

Written that way would mean Devil's dogs. Devil dogs would be Teufelhunde.

 

Schick G5 razor
Personna blade
Dr. Selby Luxury SC
FS Finest brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel/Sage mix
Pinaud Lime Sec cologne

The G5/Personna whacked off a two day growth with ease. And the Dr. Selby is a very nice SC. Great start to the day.

 

#14 Filly
TOBS Lavender Soap
homemade 2 band
Nice shave this morning. Have a good one.

 

3/18/15

Prep: warm wash and Cornhusker's lotion
Lather: TSD Coconut
Brush: Bodyshop synthetic
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (3)
Post: Old Spice

I am more and more impressed with the little bodyshop synthetic brush every time I use it. I've had meh lathers with the TSD coconut the last couple of days, but today it was fantastic - slick, shiny and nice. Could it be the brush?

 

lolllll I wouldn't say I'm his number one customer, but I definitely love whatever products of his that I have. I also must thank Ryan for introducing me to them because until then I had never even heard of Stirling soaps.

 

I would say you have set yourself a goal.

 

My shave today was good enough to keep using that Sharp blade. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap felt wonderful - a menthol blast which froze my face like an arctic wind and enough lather to do five passes. The skincare of this soap is terrific as well.
