SoS: March 30, 2015 - April 5, 2015

Fully Fougére Friday
Today was my first use of B&M Fougére Classique aftershave, and I chose to pair it with B&M Fougére Imperiale. The scents work great together - the aftershave has a lemony, earthy scent to me, but I am not very good at describing scents. The shave overall was excellent - my face feels great.
Prep: warm water rinse
Soap: B&M Fougére Imperiale
Brush: HIS Lather Monster
Razor: der Vorschlaghammer
Blade: Voskhod (3)
AS: B&M Fougére Classique Tonique

 

Great picture!

 

First time straight user. First week on CPAP as well.

 

Outstanding photo and shave setup Obi!

 

Good band excellent tune. Thanks for this.

Gillette NEW LC w/Crystal
Noxzema
Tiki Seven Seas
GP Scuttle
Omega Boar
Dickinson's WH
GB Body Lotion
British Sterling

I was inspired by Obi to use the NEW LC this morning. I like this razor a LOT! A very busy weekend coming up with the Scottish Rite Reunion here in Medford. We are hosting this event so...much to do. I hope all have a great weekend and a very happy Easter Sunday!

 

Thank you!

 

Nice setup! I'm with you on these Gillette New LC. And they cleanup easier than my adjustables.

 

Stick with your CPAP, Troy. The first time I could not tolerate it and gave it up. About three years later, I went back and conquered the thing. It is a matter of getting the right mask. I have been compliant for years now.

Frey's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
Soap: RazoRock One-X
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
Blade: Baili Super Blue (1)
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG (1, 2, 3)
Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, RazoRock One-X AS splash
Cologne: Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d' Orange

I cannot recall anyone singing the praises of the Baili blades. Friends, I'm here to tell you that the silence on this front is well-deserved. I had good prep, and face-lathered up a good layer of protective lather from the One-X and the Simpson; the razor continues to be easy to find the ideal angle with. However, the blade was not particularly comfortable or well-mannered, producing a couple of weepers and even some razor burn. . . and I tend to prefer platinum coated blades like this one. I'd rate the shave as DFS+, but not as close as the past couple of shaves I've had.

Soap - L"Occitane Cade
Brush - WD Synthetic
Razor - Rockwell 6S
Blade - Ladas (3)
AS - Pinaud Clubman

great shave, nothing new to report....

 

A precarious perch for that nice brush.

 

Razor: Bluebeards Revenge
Cream: Bluebeards Revenge
Blade: Wilkinson Black
Brush: WD Marble Handel Silvertip, 24/67
Soap: Jergens
A/S Lucky Tiger

Going to try to stay with this combination for 30 days.

 

All of my brushes know what to expect when we go outdoors! I can't tell you have many dishes/bowls I have broken and how many times my brushes have fallen! They have the 'battle scars' to show for it.

 

Well, that's how this soap feels!

 

Thanks!

 

Hang in there Troy! It took me a while to get used to my CPAP. I ended up liking nasal pillow masks the best.
Which kinds have you tried?

 

You will soon find like me that you become "addicted," I mean accustomed to it!

 

I have to ask, where can you find the Mdc brain bowls for sale? I've been looking around for them, but cant seem to find where they can be purchased. =/
