Shower Of The Day For Thursday 9-24(in sentence form)

I'm going to see if my Suave Heritage(1937)Shampoo&Cond will allow more moisture as it slides down my face than did the Zest Hair&Bodywash for Men. I didn't care for the teflon-like feel the Z gave me. I do like the Heritage, and I'm glad I kept it around.

Thanks!

Trumper's Coconut shave cream
Two passes
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Trumper's Coral Skin Food

Hello everyone. I've enjoyed some great shaves with my Mongoose and Feather Super Pro blade this week. Every shave with the 'Goose is a good one; however, I don't find that much difference between the Super Pro and the Pro blades. For me, the Super Pro provides a slightly improved shave.

Tonight, I decided to try out my New LC in bronze just back from Delta Echo Razor Works. A big shout out to Jay Delta Echo Razors for his superb work and to Vince Rufus T. for the razor itself! With a day and half of growth, the New easily delivered near-BBS results with no sting at all from the alum! All things considered, this is my favorite razor. I plan to use it for my OCtober focus, which begins this weekend.

Have a great Friday!

Superb Lime Shave
I combined Maggard's Limes and Bergamot with PAA Lime Ginger and Tea Tree with optimal results. The lather was thick and rich, and the Fatboy did its duty comfortably and easily on settings 9-9-7. This was a drama free BBS, and among my best shaves yet. The aftershave leaves my face very soft, cool and smooth.

Thursday



Bulldog Men Sensitive face wash
2014 Weber SS PH w/Bulldog handle razor
Rapira Swedish Super Steel (5) blade
Bestshave #6 brush
RazoRock XX shave soap
3 passes WTG/XTG/ATG + touch-up.
Williams Ice Blue after shave splash

First shave with my newly acquired XX soap from RazoRock.
I did expect amazing performance, as I have another RR soap, but the glide is/was out of this world!
I'm guessing the added Argan oil contributes to that. It's very very good. Smell is amazing as well.
If RR wasn't so hard to come by here, I'd buy the whole line in a heartbeat. Love'em!

Borderline BBS.​

 

Thursday - guess who's back in action!

First of all - a great big thanks to all of you who prayed for me because the operation went perfectly and I feel great. Just a bit of soreness, but that's nothing.

Now for my shave:

Stirling Pre-Shave Soap
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Personna day 4
Noxzema SC
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Booster Polar Ice AS

What a wonderful shave this was with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE shaving item - how the Noxzema cream could be discontinued is beyond me. It has such a nice old-school scent, it lathers so easily and the menthol feeling is really good. This cream has such awesome post-shave care that your skin feels born again. The Lucky Tiger aftershave cream is something I'm in love with and I'm so happy that I bought it. The Booster Polar Ice aftershave has no cooling to it although it says it contains menthol, but it feels great after a shave. I felt like I went to my friend Costa's barbershop!

 

Yesterday @feeltheburn posted about using L'Occitane Cade for the month of October. That prompted me to use it this morning and I am glad I did. This is a very nice soap that performs great for me, especially when face lathering. I had a great shave today.

Welcome back!(your dreams were your ticket ouuut). But seriously, good to see you so soon, and take it easy .

 

Glad to know everything went well!
