8/7/2015

Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Muhle R41 (2010), "The Hornet" straight razor
Blade: Super Max Blue Diamond (8)
Brush: Turkish #6
Soap: DR Harris - Windsor
After: Home made ASB, Nivea after shave balm
Cologne: Prada - Amber Pour Homme

Happy Friday! The #6 brush whipped up the Windsor into a nice lather. I had enough lather for 10 passes. My scuttle was about to overflow. The 2010 R41 is a nice, mild shaver and "The Hornet" did its job well. The Super Max Blue Diamond is still going strong. I just saw that someone had done 120 shaves with a feather blade. Wow! That is determination. I believe that I would get bored with that kind of experiment. The Nivea and the Prada were a fine finish to this 2 pass Darn Fine Shave.

Have blessed day and a great weekend!

Kicked up the aggression a notch and I think it was a bit too much for my face. Other than that, another great shave.

 

Very nice Old Spice mug

SOTD 08.07.2015

Prep: Shower
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (3)
Brush: Omega 13109
Lather: TOBS Shaving Shop cream
Post: Cold rinse, Alum, Styptic, Witch Hazel, Clubman Pinaud Classic AS sample

Some minor nicks this morning but the most important part was the TOBS cream. I still find the smell strange, but I feel I'm used to it now.

I love how much TOBS creams explode with lather from a tiny drop!

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY



PRE SHAVE: OCCAMS CRUSHED LIME
RAZOR: MAGGARD MR18C
BLADE: BIG BEN
BRUSH: FINE ANGEL HAIR SYNTHETIC
SOAP: REEF POINT ADMITALITY
POST: CVS BRAND AQUA VELVA/ REEF POINT ADMIRALITY BALM

Had a very nice 3 pass shave today. Both the soap and the balm are great products! the scent is awesome and the performance is top notch. no irritation or nicks today which is always nice. Have a great day and a great shave everyone!!

 

Love the brush!

 

Razor: Gillette Executive (1960)(6)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (5)
Brush: WDC-4, Silvertip Badger, Butterscotch. (VIG) 24/67
Cream: Lea Classic
Bowl: Old Spice Blue Mug
A/S: Lucky Tiger
Kept the Executive on #6 today and got a good close 2 pass shave. I will go to #7 tomorrow. The Lea Classic Cream (got it in a PIF) which I used for the first time tonight worked up an excellent lather. I'll use it again tomorrow. Lucky Tiger is my got to A/S if I stare at the aftershaves to long.

 

I think I'll use my Gillette Slim when I'm finished with the Gillette Platinum Blade. Your Slim looks to be in great shape.

 

Thanks Boojum. I've been using MdC all week with fantastic results. The Myrsol aftershaves are really unique and compliment top shelf soaps perfectly.

 

What is your favorite Myrsol Scent?

 

Thanks!

 

Saturday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TOBS St. James Collection
Jayaruh #2 Synthetic
Gem Jr Parade
Treet Super SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The TOBS St. James Collection face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 Synthetic brush. Two passes with my Gem Jr Parade razor and a Treet Super SE 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 Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you. It is in very good shape and I got lucky twice with it being a birth year razor as well.
