SoS: May 4, 2015 - May 10, 2015

Get well quick!

 

Soap: My Sunday Staple "TSD Frankincense & Myrrh" this stuff smells amazing! (Stirling Glastonbury on back of my neck)

Razor: R89 - tried Derby blade but it pulled so bad that I trashed it after 3 or 4 WTG swipes. Derby blades are not for me, apparently.

Post: Thayers Lemon Witchazel, Aqua Velva Musk, and Stestson Original

Cologne: Aqua Di Gio

 

Thanks, Mark

 

Get better soon!

MAYhem & Mercy
May 10, 2015
Prep - Hot shower and towel
Brush - Omega Pro 48
Soap - C.O. Bigelow
Razor - RazoRock TTO
Blade - (1)
Post - Alum, Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm, The Veg

Day 3 of the Baili - Nope. Threw that blade away yesterday. Dropped it into my used blade container and all of the other blades jumped out to avoid being near it. Calling a one day time out in the middle of awfulness. Besides, I got my new RazoRock TTO on Friday and it needs test driven. Got my head shave out of the way with the Merkur 23c and grabbed the RR. It's a beauty, all brass which I love...heavy, shiny, really a great looking razor. Loaded it up with a Voskhod....yes blessed Voskhod after the three previous blades. This razor is a bit more aggressive than my other TTO's and provided a great shave. Three passes and put the baby to bed! This could easily become a go-to razor for me based on today.

Finished with alum, very nice and quiet, Nivea balm to recondition from a week of hell and added the Veg as a body splash. SWMBO loves it so hey, I'll tie a ribbon around me and call it a Mother's Day gift.

I also started breaking in the Vie Long 12705. Got it out last night and yes, it did have a mild odor. Got it wet and whoa......what a smell. Lathered with VDH and rinsed last night. Lathered it with C.O. Bigelow today and it's sitting and hopefully soaking up the menthol goodness. Hope to get it ready to go in time for Mercy next week.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone. It's back to terrible tomorrow. Two blades left and both with worse reputations than the Baili. Should be a fun few days.

Nice pic Eric!

 

If you'd put KMF shave cream next to another cream which one would it be?
