    Tuesday Shave

    Pre: Shower, then Proraso White Preshave
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Voskhod
    Brush: VDH boar
    Croap: Proraso White
    After: Proraso White Balm

    Had a great 'white' shave, using all of the Proraso White products. It's very much overkill for me, but I like to do it occasionally, especially after not shaving for a few days.

    ask your wife to rub it down with manteca de ubre, it's a linament originally made for a cow's udder, but rubbed into joints and strained muscles, it feels nice.
    hope you get some rest.

    Tuesday Shave 04/14/2015

    Prep: Hot shower, PSO
    Razor: Merkur 34C
    Blade: Gillette Nacet Stainless (3)
    Brush: Omega 80080 Boar Brush
    Soap: Proraso White (croap?)
    Post: Cold rinse, Alum Block, Witch Hazel, Proraso White ASB

    First time with the Proraso White soap/croap. It performed a lot better than I thought it would and gave me a nice tingle from the slight menthol in it. Definitely keeping this one in my rotation.

    Prep: Stirling Oat Honey & Shea Butter Bath Soap
    Razor: Gillette Black Beauty U2 (5)(3)
    Blade: Astra SP (1)
    Brush: Chopped Made Rite Finest Badger
    Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
    Post: Barbasol Pacific Rush

    Two pass shave. Felt like being mild today so I went 5 & 3 on the adjustable. After chopping the mutton chops I've had to change how I shave. Shaving my jaw feels so strange. One DFS.

    Tuesday, April 14, 2015 First-yellow jacket-of-the-spring-in-the-house Afternoon Shave
    Gatsby FW
    WD Synthetic
    Stirling Frozen Tundra
    Merkur 34C w/Gillette 7 O'clock SP (4)
    Cold rinse, alum, Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Witch Hazel, 444 Balm, Osage Rub

    On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate the coldness of this shave a 5. I've got to get ahold of some of that Cryo whats-its-called that Crackstar recently reviewed.

    Cryogen. Never tried the Frozen Tundra but I heard it's plenty cold. But this Cryogen is merciless. It's not a soap which has a normal menthol effect.
