Stirling MITA Parker best badger Muhle R41 ('11) Feather blade Cold water/alum Stirling MITA aftershave I believe the Stirling product line is, for me, as good as it can get. Another smooth effortless and irritation free shave. The post-shave feel of the soap and aftershave combined is marvelous. Wishing everyone a safe holiday weekend.
6/8 Wacker Inox Cade homemade brush, box elder burl and an Ace finest I haven't used this brush enough to get the stink out of it, pretty nice knot though. Excellent leisurely Saturday morning shave. Have a good one.

Brush Focus: Day 23/30 Brush: Semogue Boar 1305, 22/55 Gillette - K-4 (1965) Slim Adjustable. (5). Gillette Platinum Blade (2) Soap: Sterling, Cool A/S: The Shave Den, Coconut. Old Spice Coffee Mug.(soak brush) Excellent brush. I find it work no matter what the soap is hard or soft. Doesn't hold water like Badger, but by adding a little water along the way does the trick. haven't had any problems with this brush what some ever. Highly recommended! Gillette adjustable is also a great razor. Work perfectly, just remember to loosen the TTO when adjusting the numbers. First time using Sterling Soap, Cool and I was very happy with it. Not much for smell, but provided a good lather. TSD A/S is a quality product. I'll have to order more. God Bless all who have served who helped keep America safe and great.
Here's the game plan for Sunday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Derby day 9 (last time for this blade) Williams Menthol SC Gold Bond Moisturizer Mennen Skin Bracer AS Never before have I used the same blade longer than a week, so I'd say perhaps I'm pushing it a little but I'm doing it for the sake of curiosity. I also want to see if I could get one more good shave from this Derby. The Williams Menthol cream is great - super lather, a beautiful scent, excellent blade glide, and very cooling, with excellent post-shave care. Unfortunately for me, when this tube is finished I'll have to forget about it because I have no way of getting it again. The Gold Bond/Skin Bracer duo will provide plenty of additional cooling comfort!

Sunday's Dove Men Face Wash C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger Gillette President (Inaugural Shave) Personna Super Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Barbasol Brisk AS I am using the Gillette President for the first time (Inaugural Shave). It is my newest razor, and I have decided to make it my Sunday driver. The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes with my Gillette President razor and a Personna Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. This is going to be a great Sunday tradition. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Barbasol Brisk after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
