Der Vorschlaghammer mit LMR The Lather Monster easily whipped up the LMR, as usual. Der Vorschlaghammer smoothly made my stubble pay for its insolence, as usual. I finished up this great shave with Maggard London Barbershop because I feel it compliments the scent of LMR very nicely. Prep: Cold water wash, Van Yulay PSO Soap: Catie's Bubbles LMR Brush: HIS Razor: Der Vorschlaghammer Blade: Voskhod (2) AS: Maggard London Barbershop
Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam Razor - Ever Ready 1914 Blade - GEM Personna SS (#7 and out) Brush - Omega 20106 Soap - Arko / Proraso Green / Glycerine After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix Result - BBS I love shaving with my DE's but it's becoming increasing more difficult to peruse my collection without picking an SE razor out of the pack. It always feels like much more of special occasion, the results like the band playing at the end. Still sticking with the überlather, this combination being particularly cushioning.

08/08/2015 Razor – Gillette New LC Blade – Ladas (1) Brush – Zenith Pro Aluminum Boar B2 Lather – Tiki Cabernet Neroli Post - Witch Hazel & Fine L ’Orange I decided to take a weekend break from my focus on the Slim to use my Gillette New LC. I broke the rule of not using multiple new items in one shave. This is my first time trying Ladas blades and my new Zenith Boar Brush. Thanks @david of central florida for the blades. The Ladas blades provided a very smooth and efficient 3 pass shave. I did have to touch up around my chin to catch the baby. The Tiki Cabernet Neroli has a wonderful scent of red wine and orange. I did have to go back and reload the brush after the first pass. This was an operator error with a new brush. The brush did shed 3 hairs or so but I expected that with the first use. I believe this will be a very good brush once it is fully broken in. The tips are already soft and starting to split. Finished off with the usual witch hazel followed by a splash of Fine L 'Orange. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hmm! Arko/proraso... Very interesting. Which one is the cream and which one is the soap? =) I got 5 shaves from a gem Personna and After that the edge started to decrease. I have coarse bears. I could have done one sixth and final shave but Why push a blade right?
