Wilkinson classic blade, 15th use
Cold River Soap Works, Fall limited edition soap
Vie Long Peleón horse hair brush
Brut AS

Dot a real good DFS today, decided not to press my luck and try for BBS. Didn't want to risk any irritation seeing as I'm not going out anyway.

 

Done pondering. Gonna join the OC cowboys on Halloween. Will unbox on this thread later.

 

OCtober 16 - Shave 16
Went with the Jaws for the first time this month. Loaded with a new Astra SP blade and got an excellent shave. A little rougher than my Old Type and the NEW style heads but still BBS and AGAIG.
Jaws / Astra SP
Cella
Omega Boar
Lavender Witch Hazel
Avon Wild Country

 

That Avon a shaving brush?

 

That be a decanter.

 

The Cadets arrived in my box today. I won't be using these until my 30day rule ends on Oct 30. But really looking forward to it.

I ordered them on last weekend from shaveabuck.com. I think the holiday delayed their arrival by a day...and they arrived in good condition. Got the TTO OC and the 3piece OC. I plan on November being blade tryouts for the 3piece, followed by another 30day rule.

 

Yes, the Avon is in a Shaving Brush Bottle. circa 1976

 

I like that Gillette Goodwill! How does it shave compared to an Old or New? Hard to find a good one.

 

today the long comb new.

 

Nice razors! Happy Shaving!

October 17, 2014

Prep: Hot shower. Axe Shield Face Wash
Razor: Merkur 15c OC
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Lather: DdC Aqua di Gio
Brush: hjm Badger
Post: Alum. Dickerson WH
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite. Axe Shield Sensitive
First shave with the 15c, mild, but very efficient! I was left with no irritation or nicks. DFS was had. DdC Aqua di Gio has lost a bit of its moisture, this soap whipped up like a charm, slick, cushiony with a wonderful scent. GIANTS!
Go out and get it!

 

The shave is comparable to the Old Type and the New. IMO there is no difference between the Goodwill and the New. Both great razors.

 

Alas, I fell off of the OC wagon and used my Schick today.

Thanks! I'm looking for one, as my Old is a little harsh.

Wilkinson classic blade, 16th use
Catie's Bubbles LPV, I really like this soap
Vie Long Peleón horse hair brush
HTGAM alcohol free Scentsless AS

Got a BBS again today, I'm really enjoying this razor, going to be hard to change to the next one. Hoping I get along this good with my NEW LC when I start using it in a day or two. This OCtober kind of gave me a little incentive to try all my OC razors, only have a couple more to try.
