Thursday's Shave

Prep: Hot shower w/ Grandpa's Pine Tar
Lather: Proraso Green cream
Brush: Omega 13522
Razor: '46-'50 Gillette Heavy Gold Tech
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Post: Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Balm
Scent: Tommy Bahama Very Cool

VERY early morning shave today as I had to be on post by 0230. Rushed as I was, I can't make any sort of judgement on the Rapira SS yet. The Proraso was a nice option. Menthol kick to wake me up without having to take the time to lather a soap. Decent, fast 2 pass shave and out the door I went.

 

SOTD Thursday



One more set up with the new Superspeed.

I love the light scent and the cold feel of the Palmolive Cream. Is there any way to determine in what time frame my Milord was made?

Schick G1 razor
Personna blade
VDH Luxury SS
FS Silver Tip brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel/Sage mix
M&L Florida Water cologne

Back to using injectors and loving it! They are so easy to use and give me wonderful shaves every time. Now to install a new (to me) amateur radio and have an on the air play day.

 

Seems like a nice product, as with the other Body Shop balms it has great moisturizers in it.

 

The Frost_byte soap is well-named because it really does freeze holy hell out of you. Its lather is so easy to work up and the post-shave care is good as well. My shave was excellent today.

 

What are your thoughts on the CC North AS? I see youve been using it steady this week. Initial sniffs from the bottle got poor reviews from the wife, I hoping it smells better on, like most AS does. Wife claimed it smelled like cheap gin...

 

Im no expert but believe NDC would indicate 47 -50. GDCarrington has a great post if you search the site.

 

March 26, 2015

Prep: Warm Water
Razor: Muhle R106
Blade: Feather New Hi Stainless (second use)
Brush: Omega 10066
Shaving Cream: Cella
Post: Nivea Balm for Sensitive Skin
Aftershave: Tarr (local brand)

This one did not went too well. Feather blade got way too dull after the first pass. Second pass was painful, did not continued with the third one. First shave with that blade, yesterday, went great. Today was bad. Got two nicks, no visible razor burn, but few spots i feel they are irritated.

 

I did, then it burned my skin :/

 

3/26/2015 Thrifty Thursday!
Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Gillette Black Tip Super Speed, The "Hornet" straight razor
Blade: Astra SP (5)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: Col Conk - Amber
After: Home made ASB, Nivea for men after shave balm
Cologne: Prada - Amber Pour Homme Intense

It is Thrifty Thursday and I went to a soap brand that I started out with. The Vie Long brush whipped up the Amber into a really good lather. The Black Tip and the "Hornet" did their jobs with distinction. The Nivea ASB brought some moisturizing and the Prada will have me smelling great all day. All in all it was a Darn Fine Shave.

Have a blessed day!
