SEptember 25, 2017

Pre-shave: Several cups of black coffee (like most mornings) then a hot shower
Cream: Head Slick Mentholated Shave Cream
Razor: Eversharp I2 injector razor (just acquired on Saturday)
Blade: Schick (1)
Post-shave: Dickinson's witch hazel, Nivea Cooling Shave Balm, Aqua Velva AS

I just got this razor on a trip out-of-town on Saturday so I cleaned it up over the weekend to try it today. This was my first shave since last Thursday. Initially, I was just going to apply the shave cream by hand as I always have with this shave cream. I don't think this cream is meant to be "brushed" into a lather. At the last moment, I decided to experiment. A few days ago I bought a bottle of Glycerin to try using with soap pucks, but I didn't want to wait another day or two to use it and I thought, "What the heck? Let's try a few drops with this cream." I'm glad I did. Using my Marvy boar brush, I was able to build a fine, creamy lather with just a few drops and a quarter size amount of cream (see photo attached). When I applied it to my face it was soft, and slick and thick. I don't know if it was because of the Glycerin or simply brushing the lather on, this time I could really feel the menthol in this cream. In the past, when I've used it, applying by hand only I couldn't feel any menthol. Anyway, I also did a head shave today as well. While I had enough creamy lather for 3 passes on my face shave.... by the time I was finished with my face what was left in the bowl had dissipated so much, I had to add more cream and Glycerin to make another batch of lather. Overall, it was a great shave! I hope the same for all of you this week!

Jamie's Night Shave - Menthol Monday.
1. PAA ICE pre shave soap.
2. Palmolive Mentholated Shave cream.
3. Semogue 740 badger.
4. Schick Type E - NOS Kmart Blade.
5. Thayers eXtra Cooool after shave witch hazel.
6. OSAGE RUB!!
7. PAA Frost byte aftershave.

 

I found one of the brushes by it's self. Though vintage, it was little used because it still had a paper backed gold foil sticker attached. I didn't take it for a lather. It went straight into a box of goodies along with a beige glass OS mug that I shipped to John @Sparrow. He said Old Spice gear is very rare in Japan.
