DB Brush Scuttle-USA
Proraso PrePost Cream-Italy
Arko Stick-Turkey

M&L Florida Water-Peru-this is a lil more spice scent than the Original version

 

Muhle R106
*Viking Sword
The Grosvenor
* MEM shave cream
*Sea of Spa ASB

It was a fantastic shave with me *Israeli products today! I love them all! I honestly think that every wet shaver should have a tube of MEM in their collection. It is a magnificent cream that lathers amazingly and provides excellent skin care.

 

For Sunday morning:

Brush: #6 Horsehair (Turkey)
Straight Razor: Dovo Bismarck 5/8 (Germany)
Soap: Nanny's Ice & a Slice (UK)
AS Balsam: 444 (Portugal)
AS Splash: Osage Rub (US)

Hey, this will be my first shave with a soap in almost a month. The Nanny's Ice & a Slice smells great, it has a ton of menthol in it, and does it ever lather beautifully!

 

Sunday:

Brush:Shavemac 167,2 band,d01,fan-Germany
DB Brush Scuttle-USA
Proraso PrePost Cream-Italy
GFT Coconut Oil SS-UK
Razor: Cobra Classic "The Snake"-USA
Blade: Feather ProGuard (19)-Japan
Monster Block Alum-USA
Thayer's Lemon WH-USA
HBG Bay Rum Aftershave-USA

Another great shave,the ProGuard has one more shave left,possibly more but I think I'll retire it at 20 face and head shaves.

 

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a fun week.
To finalize, here's what I'd like to do, but I need your help.
I'm going to start a list of countries that were represented in my shave this past week.
I would like for you to copy, paste, then add to that list any country that you had represented but is not on the list already.
Each person is to copy, paste, then add and watch the list grow. I just think it will be interesting to see how many countries supply our shaving goodies.

USA
Canada
England
France
Germany
Portugal
Kenya - for my coffee. No, really, I need it to shave! I can stop anytime. Really, I can.
Russia
Italy
