Great shave. Okay this Omega 10098 is starting to grow on me, I think it's a really nice brush. Mike's is slick as ice! I haven't used Clubman in a very long time and boy I've missed it. The Mongoose continues to be a great shaver.

MENTHOL MONDAY
Spiked the Valobra 'Menthol' with some TSD M-Bomb as the Valobra is a bit weak in the mentholated department. The M-Bomb makes up for it!
Smooth shave with the Big Rodgers. DFS results!
Have a great Monday, all!

 

Razor: Parker 99R
Blade: Astra Platy
Soap: TSD London Type w/ Lanolin
Brush: Semogue Boar
A/S: Witch hazel with M-bomb, Tea tree and blood orange oils

Decent shave for a cloudy Monday morning. One small weaper on my neck. Second shave using a brush. I like the boar brush, It's not prickly at all, which from reading descriptions I was concerned about. Need to work on getting a serious lather, but TSD soap is pretty slick. Skin feels nice and fresh. I could stand to add a bit more M-bomb to the wh/tto/bo concoction.

 

8/31 SOTD at work

I forgot my brush at home, what to do what to do.

Hot shower
53 gillette ball end tech
VDH cold tempered blade (2)
Poraso green worked in like a face wash
Av ice blue splash.

Rubbing the poraso in lime a face wash produced a good slick layer, although it was not thick but a bit runny. Over all a very good two pass shave on shift with the boo boo bus.

 

Razor: Gillette New LC Bar Handle 1930s Big Boy wood case
Brush: Fuller Amber Badger 1920s -1940s
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Truefitt&Hill No 10
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Post Shave Gel, Tommy Bahamas Martinique

I really like the LC, it's milder than the SC, which I like. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Whipped up some TH 10 in the OS Mug. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. No buffing today to give my face a rest. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB balm. Finished up with some Tommy Bahamas Martinique. It's Monday......Stand BACK....

 

8/31/2015 Menthol Monday!! Woo Hoo!!

Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Muhle R41 Grande (2013), "The Hornet" straight razor
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (4)
Brush: HJM Black Fibre
Soap: Arko - Ice Mint
After: Home made ASB, Osage Rub after shave
Cologne: Prada - Amber Pour Homme Intense

It is Menthol Monday! The Arko was whipped up nicely into a thick lather by the HJM brush. The R41 Grande and "The Hornet" did their work well this morning. The Osage Rub and the Prada were a nice finish for this 2 pass Darn Fine Shave.

Have a blessed day!

 

Menthol Monday:

Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
Lather: RazoRock One-X croap
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (1)
Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (1, 2, 3)
Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's witch hazel, RazoRock One-X AS splash
Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

First day of the new semester, so I reached for a new Bic blade and the RazoRock One-X to be at my best, though the early hour nearly caused some bloodshed with fumbling fingers. With that crisis averted, I got 3 passes in, no weepers, nicks, irritation, or other injury, and DFS+ results. This left me feeling confident and smelling nice for the morning's class.

 

Oddball fest sounds fun.
