Facial Wash: Nancy Boy Mild Facial Wash
Moisturizer: Burt's Bees Dr. Burt's Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil

Shaving Cream: eShave Cucumber Shave Cream (pre-lather)
Shaving Soap: De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap

Post Shave
Aftershave: De Vergulde Hand After Shave Spray
Aftershave Balm: eShave Cucumber Aftershave Cream
Cologne: Musgo Real Agua di Colonia #2 - Oak Moss

Result: 4.4/5.0 All things being equal, I found the De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap to be very nice. It lathered quickly, the scent was mild, unique and pleasant and it did not irritate my skin. Glide and cushion was about average for this type of soap. I will change the soap/water ratio a little to see if I can up the glide factor. I like an aftershave splash instead of a spray so, I just sprayed some into my hand and applied that way.

 

Tuesday 2007-07-10

Having just received my Merkur 1904 and 12C (the open-comb 38C) from Jim at Vintage Blades yesterday, it was a tough choice-- but the "Sledgehammer" won out.

My usual Noxzema/shower/Proraso pre-shave/light lather/hot towels prep.
Used TGQ Orange Patchouli puck as if it were a shave stick, lathered on face with BK12. Great lather!
New Feather in the 12C, WTG, XTG, ATG + touch-up.
WWR, ice cube rub, ICWR, alum block.
Taylor's Aloe Vera WH.
ICWR.
Proraso ASB.
Tabac AS.

Marvelous BBS shave! No sting from the alum block or Tabac.
Not a sign of blood, nick, redness, or irritation.

I'd say, 4.99/5.00. I should have such a shave every day...

Tuesday

Simpsons Duke 1 Best
Shumate 5/8 Round point
WARS shaving cream
Osage Rub AS

First shave with the Shumate I just picked up from ebay for cheap. Very nice razor, honed up beautifully last night.

Not sure about this Osage stuff. Very cold, but a bit too medicinal smelling. Didn't even bother putting on a cologne this morning. Just wasn't the right day I guess, scent just kind of turned me off.
