Saturday's Dove Men Face Wash Tabac Jayaruh #8 (first shave) Dad's Schick E2 Personna Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH FD Old Spice The Tabac shave soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #8 badger brush. Two passes with my Dad's Schick E2 razor and a Personna Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then FD Old Spice after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
SOTD 5-1-15 Razor: ATT H1 plate with Krono's handle Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2) Soap: Tiki Land Locked (tallow) Bowl: VDH Brush: Tweezerman Post: Gentleman Jon Alum block Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry, then apply the alum block Razor: As usual, no complaints! Liking the H! very much! Today was the 6th time using it and first for the Krono's handle which I also like.. Blade: Second time with this blade and I am not sure it is as smooth as either one of my favs, the Platinum Lux or the Astra SP's but the sharpness is there! It worked fine but there are others that are better! Soap: First time with this soap and it is very nice stuff. Lathered easy and alot of it. Great slickness and protection! Post shave feel is also very good! No issues at all but I cannot quite pinpoint the scent! Comments: Shave was very good and close. I got a DFS easily but not quite a BBS. No nick or irritation based on the Aum block. Another very good shave with no issues! Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV! Thx.
