TGIF!! TSD SOTD 01/22/16 '59 Gillette Fatboy(set at 7) Lord Super Chrome(4) E-Shave Badger C.O.Bigelow Cold Water Rinse Witch Hazel Barbasol Pacific Rush A/S Good morning everyone,I had a another great shave today, The Lord blade was as smooth today as it was the first day. As always the C.O. Bigelow provides a great lather,My new E-Shave brush is really starting to feel softer and splay out more when face lathering. Enough has already been said about the Gillette Fatboy Razors So all I'll say is Another great BBS shave=ONE HAPPY ILTS!! HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT SHAVE AND A GREAT FRIDAY!!
Frosty Ferox Friday The I do have other razors edition. I decided to go with my Aristocrat today and it shaved like a dream - very smooth and easy with little chance of drama. I like this razor because it reminds me of the one my Dad used. Ferox again provided excellent lather and that wonderful scent of peppery grapefruit. PAA Ice chilled as is prepped my stubble for its fate, and I so enjoyed it that I added Krampert's Finest Frostbite as the finishing touch to extend the cooling.

Shave of the day Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush Soap/cream- Fitjar Isrose shave soap Brush- Plisson synthetic Razor- AlumiGoose Blade- Feather Artist club Professional Post- Cold water rinse, Humphrey Witch hazel, DR Harris Sandalwood aftershave lotion and a mix of Nivea Original aftershave balm and Crabtree and Evelyn Indian Sandalwood Sooo, my first ever shave with the AlumiGoose. I know this is my first shave but ohh man! I got an amazing shave. I really dont know what to say, it took about 2 strokes before I understood what angle to use. The blade is VERY sharp, cuts better than any other blade I have used. Very very nice. Because the razor was a gift from my brother and his wife I thought I would use 2 other gifts I got last year. Fitjar and Dr Harris. The C&B also a birthday gift last year but from my girlfriend. Awesome awesome shave! Very happy with this razor Edit: Some more impressions. I was told that this razor was loud or at least louder than other razors. I was talking to Kerry and he asked me if it was. I have actually not thought about it while shaving, if it was loud I couldn't pick it up or at least it didn't stand out on the first shave. And also I think I have never gotten this close of a shave with 2 passes with any other razor. Darn! AlumiGoose where have you been all this time. Im really hoping that I can get more shaves with a Feather Pro blade than I would get out of a DE razor blade. I have recently started to experiment with DE blades to see how many GOOD shaves I can get with 1 blade, I think the answer is 4. Im hoping I get at least 8-10 shaves with a Feather pro blade or other blades in the mongoose.
