I'm smooth as silk and I smell great thanks to the Paradise Frost soap from Mickey Lee Soapworks. Great lather with a bit of a cooling effect and good post-shave care so no complaints from that end. The Shambala aftershave provided a good amount of cooling with its awesome scent!
Just leaving the house now. It should be ok and take somewhere between 1 and 1 1/2 hours. Got to love Atlanta.

TODAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY SUPER-MAX TITANIUM BLADES FOR THE FIRST TIME DUE TO A GRACIOUS PIF FROM @ram57. THANK YOU BUDDY! MY HONEST IMPRESSION OF THIS BLADE IS THAT IT FELT TUGGY ALL THE WAY THROUGH MY THREE PASSES. HERE IS THE THING, IT PROVIDED A VERY SMOOTH BBS WITH NO IRRITATION AT ALL. VERDICT: IT'S A GOOD BLADE AT A VALUE FOR THE COST. STIRLING MITA FROZE MY FACE OFF AND IT WAS ALREADY NUMB FROM THE BURT'S BEES CLEANSER AND THE FACT THAT IT'S AN EXCEPTIONALLY CHILLI MORNING HERE IN FLA. HAVE A GREAT SHAVE AND A GREAT DAY GUYS.
Wed., Jan. 20, 2016 Let me start by saying I hate how well this shave turned out. Hot shower Gillette (shudder) Fusion Proglude Barbasol Arctic Chill W, X1, X2, touch up Cold rinse, cold towel, witch hazel, Creamo Balm, Barbasol Brisk DFS I hadn't shaved in three days, and I was in a hurry. I am, of course, joking a bit here, but I do wish I could get a shave like this with one of my vintage DEs, or even one of my modern ones.
Thanks very much...one of my "blue" photos. It will soon be time to change my background. I am trying to get to the bottom of this tub of cream...it certainly goes a long way!
Wednesday SOTD January 20th........... Proraso bowl lathered w/SOC Boar Aristocrat w/Sputnik blade Witch hazel followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/Floid Vigoroso aftershave 2-passes for a DFS!
Schick M1 Adjustable razor Schick Super Chromium blade WD Synthetic brush Vintage Williams SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Nivea Energy balm Pinaud Clubman The donut hole in my vintage Williams is getting bigger but still getting great lather. Don't use the M1 enough so the shave wasn't as good as I would have liked. Perhaps it's just me and not really the razor. At any rate, all done and time to get going. Now go enjoy your day folks
