Axe FW
3 hot towels
Arko (face-lathered)
Plisson Synthetic
Merkur 39c w/Gillette Silver Blue (3)
W, X1, X2, touch up
Cold rinse, cold towel, witch hazel, L'Oreal Balm, Stetson Cooling Moisture AS

I decided to give the Sledgehammer another try, this time with a better lather. Much better than yesterday. I rate this a GES/SAS (Good Enough Shave/Socially Acceptable Shave), which, for me, is the best I can get. The Stetson CMAS is wonderful. SWMBO loves the scent.

 

5/8 Grelot Lotus
Le savon des Volcans
homemade brush with 25mm Shavemac 2 band silver tip fan

Excellent shave this morning. Have a good one.

11/5/2015

Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Gillette FatBoy, John Jay Velvet Shaver straight razor
Blade: Pol Silver Iridium (4)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: PAA - Honeysuckle
After: Home made ASB
Cologne: Midnight In Paris

The Vie Long brush whipped the Honeysuckle soap into an aromatic and nice lather. The FatBoy paired with the Pol Siver blade and the Velvet Shaver did an admirable job mowing down the stubble this morning. The Midnight In Paris was a nice finish for this Darn Fine Shave +.

Have a blessed day!
