    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.

    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.

    Saturday Pre-Flight Check-in Shave

    Pre: Shower
    Pre2: Proraso Red Preshave
    Razor: Fat handle Tech
    Blade: Shark
    Croap: Proraso Red
    Post: HBG Sandalwood

    I'd been saving up shaves to be able to use the new Proraso Red Preshave properly. It paid off with a nice sandalwoody shave. Wish they had a Red balm to finish it off though!

    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.:happy096::thanks:

    Here's the game plan for Sunday:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Derby day 9 (last time for this blade)
    Williams Menthol SC :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Gold Bond Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Mennen Skin Bracer AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:

    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! ;) :D

    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...
