    @GDCarrington : Yes, that's the soap I was referencing.

    Frey's Day:
    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
    Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger
    Lather: RazoRock One-X croap
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC OC
    Blade: Bic (1)
    Passes: WTG, XTG (1, 12)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Dickinson's WH, RazoRock One-X AS splash
    Cologne: Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d' Orange

    I found that the weeper on my Adam's Apple had bled a bit more than anticipated, so I skipped yesterday's shave to let it heal a bit, then loaded up the Merkur 41c, as it's a bit milder than the RAKE. I had no problem producing great lather, but did have to fiddle a bit remembering the right angle for the razor. Two passes produced something more than SAS, but less than DFS; let's call it a CCS as a way to split the difference.

    Schick Krona is a highly underrated razor - that razor is fantastic.

    I agree 100%. I bought two in a bulk buy from an antique shop and I originally thought it was a long handled Black Beauty (I've never had one so assumed that these were it). This is my first week using it but I'm highly impressed with it.

    SHAVE OF THE DAY FRIDAY JULY 17TH

    sotd23.jpg


    PRE SHAVE: MUSGO REAL CLASSIC SCENT
    RAZOR: GILLETTE TECH
    BLADE: PERMA-SHARP (2ND SHAVE)
    BRUSH: FINE ANGEL HAIR SYNTHETIC
    SOAP: LA TOJA
    POST: OSAGE RUB/ CHISELED FACE SHERLOCK

    Had an ok shave today with a few nicks but was smooth as silk afterwards. I have a tendency to neglect shave sticks since I prefer to lather from a puck, but they always work just fine. The Chiseled Face Sherlock A/S reminds me a lot of Fine American Blend and it has a fresh barbershop type scent. great stuff!! Hope everyone had a great shave today!!
