    Thank you, joe. i've just added 2 tubs of Monsavon Au Lait to my Christmas present list to the big fella with the white beard. A superb Inexpensive great performing nicely scented shaving soap, which leaves a wonderful post shave feel. Enjoy your day, Joe. Take care. Yours- Barry.

    Fine shave this morning with Stoylin Ramblin Man(soap&A.S.). 1 cut, no Knicks, no Polka Dots. The cut was embarassing...on my upper lip. Aaaah, it'll go away. Smooth and clean in all areas of face and neck. Ramblin Man is a cologne dupe, but I forget which cologne. 2 passes. Strong ice-chipping motion at the jawline (course real ice-chipping goes south to north, whereas the shaving persuasion of the thing is done the opposite way). This was the first of 5 straight shaves with Stoylin soaps(3 with one, then 2 with the other). Pierre Csrdn cologne to close. Outta This World Excellent.

    Wxcellent travel day shave this morning. I had planned on using my Dollar Tree razor but I had to do an audible with the Bigelow & Parker Travel DE. The Dollar Tree razor had some damage to the doors, which would not close properly, which resulted in the blade sitting askew in the razor.

    I had a nice shave with the P &B razor. It was a close shave although I did feel the blade tugging a bit. The has been binned.

    Anthony will have a busy day with Zip Lining. Additionally he will take a roller coaster ride on the top of the New York, New York casino.

    Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

    Excellent shave Joe. Too bad about your Dollar Tree razor. Mine is still fine, but I will be on the lookout for any possible damage in the future. Enjoy your day.

    You are an old soul Myles. That's a definite classic setup. Believe it or not, I picked out my Redtip for my shave before I saw your post. Take care.

    I am going out tonight to see one of my favorite bands so I picked out the Stirling Tsuka for the occasion. Yesterday's shave was real close with my Model T that I decided against my focus of straight, shavette and then safety razor sequence. I went with the mild Redtip.
    Stirling Tsuka SS has a nice cologne type of scent. I made a nice, hydrated and slick lather that would have given me at least 3 passes. The ShaveBoy blade was pretty sharp, but smooth on it's 2nd usage. Two pass shave gave me a BBS shave, but got a micro weep on my neck. It disappeared with the alum treatment. The alum was not silent, but it wasn't an omigosh it really stings moment. Applied the wonderful matching aftershave and gave two quick pumps of the EdT. I will bring the Edt along for the trip and refresh it before I arrive at tonight's venue by 7:30. Of course, I am not going to douse myself in it. Lol! Take care.

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Nivea Men Power Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Palmolive Naturals Olive & Milk Bar Soap.
    Brush: Yaqi 26mm Rainbow Brown Synthetic. (Faux Horse)
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl: Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather: Omega Eucalyptus Shaving Cream.
    Frankenrazor: Yaqi DOC Head / Schmidt R10 Handle.
    Blade: Lancet Super Platinum. (D2)

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Alum Rub. /Cold Water Rinse. / Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. /Nivea Men Replenishing PSB. /Milton Lloyd Essentials No9 EdP.

    A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

    It's been a while since i last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my ageing face sensors a vibrant winter morning wakeup call!
    The Lancet Super Platinum continues to impress me with its smooth efficiency.

    A comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No9 EdP to the pulse points.

    My face is feeling cool, smooth & smelling divine. ;)

    Stay Safe and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen. :cool:

    A rubber-stamp shave compared to yesterday-only difference is that I didn't get a lip-cut. I think the bodywash is making a big improvement from the bath soap as a shave prep. More goes onto the loofah. Course who knows....the bodywash might win the Stoylin Tony Awards :). But another real nice shave all around. I used the same razor as yesterday too, proving it can go for up to 4 passes(2 yesterday, 2 today). Used a little less of the Ramblin Man aftershave, and that was good. A great Sunday shave....Outta THis World Excellent.
