No pictures for tomorrow's shave but I promise it'll be a hell of a face-freezer! Saturday morning: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Astra day 6 Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS Lucky Tiger AS Cream Barrister & Mann Arctique AS Old Spice Cologne Only a hard-core menthol maniac like myself can handle a frigid selection like this, and trust me when I say that it's not for the faint of heart. That Glacial Spearmint soap packs a wicked menthol punch which feels colder and colder while it's on your face. The lather works up very, very easily and the scent fills the bathroom. The Lucky Tiger aftershave cream is also quite cold as well as very moisturizing and soothing with sort of a Noxzema-type scent - it's a wonderful balm. I've never put anything colder than the Arctique aftershave splash on my face because I honestly doubt that anything colder exists that would be safe for use.
BRUSH: Semogue 1438 SOAP: LaToja Shave Stick RAZOR: Gillette Slim (set at 7) BLADE: Feather Aftershave: Aqua Velva Musk A great three pass shave with several of my personal favorites. LaToja stick; if you haven't tried it, you're really missing out on an excellent slick lather, with a beautiful light, clean scent that nobody could object to. The slim coupled with a sharp feather blade. BBS, without trying. Aqua Velva is another classic scent with holding power. "Old man" scent? not in my opinion
Mein Freund, glaub' mich - nach dieser Rasur mit dieser Seife und Aftershave ist mein Gesicht wirklich aufgefroren. Viele Tränen in den Augen auch!
Had a most impressive shave using a razor by Evahs. Already from the first WTG stroke it had nice audible feedback and shaved extremely efficient without every feeling aggressive. Nice long handle as well. One pass and I had a very socially acceptable shave. I liked it a lot. Full disclosure: I got this razor for $2 after they reached out to me on Instagram but never asked for a "public review" - just for me to tell THEM what I thought. They just started selling it on Amazon and if there is any interest I can see if I can get some discount codes for people.
Apparently, if you sign up at their site (http://www.evahs.com), they'll send you a link to the product page and a code for 20% off the price of $29.95.
SOTD 2/4/16 Sorry for the late post. Had a rough night. Prep: Hot shower/ Dove Men's Face Scrub Pre-Shave: PAA Ice Soap: RazoRock XXX Brush: Vie Long Horse/ Badger Mixed Razor/ Blade: Merkur 37c Slant/ Personna Lab Blue (1) Astringent: Witch Hazel Post-Shave: Nivea Sensitive Balm Aftershave: Fine L'orange Noir Great shave last night. Cut my lip again because I was careless. I always get really solid performance from RazoRock. Not the best soap on the market, but good lather, good slickness, and decent post-shave. I love the XXX scent. The Vie Long is breaking in nicely, but is still scratchy due to the horse hair. It makes an incredible lather everytime. 37c Smashes through everything. And gatta finish it off with L'orange noir. Hope you are all having a good day!
2/05/16 - Sorry about the absence. Started a YouTube channel, Cap7597 https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIfJCrLB__6ldzhxcIN8Rsg But here's my shave of the day: Exposing the Myth of the Open Comb Razor!
It's pretty weighty, in a good way. I think the ergonomics are outstanding. I've come to enjoy brushes with the weight distributed toward the handle. The Alluminati is a terrific brush all around.
February 5 Weber Polished Head DE Feather (2) Edwin Jagger XL Synthetic Arko Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Fine L'Orange Noir I enjoyed a near-BBS ATG, XTG shave this morning and had a good day at work. I hope everyone had a fantastic Friday! Technique Trumps Tools...
So I went to their website and got the discount code, went to Amazon and ordered the razor. Got the 20% discount ($5.99) so now it's $23.96. Then I found I had points so the total was $0.00. Cool beans.....Sunday delivery on top of everything else! What a treat, looks like a decent razor.
Yes. The idea is to eliminate variables and isolate the problem. We'd love to help you work it out if we can!
