Thursday's Dove Men Face Wash C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream Jayaruh #10 Synthetic Gillette English NEW LC/Brass Punch Handle Rapira Super Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Cucumber WH Pinaud Vegetal The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #10 Synthetic brush. Two passes with my Gillette English NEW LC razor and a Rapira Super 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 Cucumber WH and then Pinaud Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD 7-15- 15 RAZOR: 1953 GILLETTE TECH BLADE: PERMA-SHARP (1ST USE) BRUSH: OMEGA S SYNTHETIC SOAP: MAMA BEARS BRITTISH LEATHER POST: MASTERS BAY RUM (MENTHOLATED), REEF POINT ADMIRALTY BALM Had a great shave today! The Mama Bears soap exploded with a rich lather, took very little time to load, and has a great scent. The Masters bay rum has a lot of menthol crystals added to it so it was very cold. The Reef Point aftershave balms are a great product and one of the best balms I have had the pleasure of trying. Nice complex citrus scent and menthol kick! Hope everyone had a great shave and a great day!
Thursday's line-up: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Derby day 2 Tryphon Permafrost Shaving Stick Gold Bond Moisturizer Mennen Skin Bracer AS Another chilly shave with a very good stick which unfortunately is no longer available. The Permafrost lathers great, it has strong menthol, (like Iced Subzero) and very good skincare. The Gold Bond (Jeff, the broken record!) is my go-to balm, and I'll soon need some more Skin Bracer - it's a favourite aftershave of mine.

Thanks, Mark! Now, I just need to learn how to use any of those effects as I am still a bit of a Luddite when it comes to computers.

SOTD 15 July 2015 30 Days of Maggard and MITA! Maggard MR11 OC Stirling MITA L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic Gillette Silver Blue (my fave!) Day one of the last blade label in the @Bobcat PIF box from last month...and it's a real treat. This is supposed to be a blade trial, but I already knew this blade is a fave. Today was great, as expected. I face lathered the MITA for two quick, easy and smoooooooth passes. And I get to do it all again tomorrow! Finish was Alum and AV Ice Sport. After tomorrow I will select my fave four from the eight brands, and test again. Planned SOTD 16 July 2015 Have a triumphant Thursday!

SOTD July 16, 2015 Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Shield Face Wash Razor: Gillette Fatboy Blade: Personna Lab Blue Brush: Napa Black Fiber Lather: PAA 11235... Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate Aftershave: 4711 Good shave. Need to use this 11235 again before I can tell if I'm a fan. Fatboy and lab blue works great for me. This Napa Black Fiber was a great deal! A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!
Fougère Thursday I decided to give the pre shave oils a different challenge today by using a vegan soap. The HIS easily made great lather as usual, and the Fatboy did a great job on 7 for all passes. I still like 9 better - for some reason it just works more easily and smoothly for me. I'm starting to think about trying a Futur as some point to compare it with the Fatboy. B&M Fougère tonique finished up this shave right, though with a little more sting than I expected. Pre shave oil comparison last round Van Yulay vs Shea Moisture I used the same strategy as before with one type of oil on each side of my face. I have to say the Van Yulay is clearly better than the Shea Moisture for me. Maybe it's the emu oil talking, but VY really makes my face feel good. It's not as thick as the SM, and I like the pump that makes it easy to control how much I'm using. I think the Mickey Lee is also a bit better than the SM, but maybe just because of the lime scent. I think I'll be sticking to Van Yulay for a while. Prep: Van Yulay pre shave oil, Shea Moisture pre shave oil Soap: B&M Fougère Imperiale Brush: HIS Razor: Fatboy 7/7/7 Blade: Personna Lab Blue (2) AS: B&M Fougère Classique
