    Still can't quite get the hang of building a Methodshave mix. I'll keep at it, but my mix tends to break down by the 3rd pass.

    First time, other than minor experimentation, with a straight. Not bad. Not great. NO blood!

    Kudos Michael - I too am pondering a straight. I just don't now if I feel like dealing with all the work necessary to keep it properly sharpened.

    Baxter's scrub
    Don McIvor custom brush

    TSD - bay rum
    Merkur 38C
    TSD aftershave - bay rum/bergamot (sample)
    Meehan's bay rum

    The sample of the AS from Joanna smells very-very nice. There was no noticeable burning sensation when I applied it, by the time I was done cleaning the sink area it had absorbed, there was no sticky feeling on my face, the scent didn't linger and my face is smooth with no redness. I plan on using this the next few days.

    Shaving Other:

    Shaving Other:
    Technique (Feather WTG)/(DE 45XTG/ATG Cleanup)

    Result:
    3.5/5.0 Right side chin nick and a clogged pore that might be a slight ingrown bump. We'll see. Flubbed the angle on crossing over to the right from the left trying to knock down a patch before moving on to the DE. The soap was fading a bit by this time. I'll have to try this soap with a smaller brush. The Omega might have been too much for it.

    Result: 4.5/5.0 Back on track but it was a quick shave with the slant. I was short on time. Trust the slant to mow down whiskers in a hurry though. I had to work around a clogged pore/slight ingrown but I think I got to it in time and it will clear up quick. No nicks or weepers.

    Proraso Aloe & Green Tea S/S
    Canus goat's milk moisturizer
    Diana A/S balm
    Aramis deo stick
    Aramis EDT

    I enjoy this latest version of Proraso soap, because it smells great, it has much better lather and skincare than the green bowl counterpart. It's not quite as cooling as the green one, but still cool enough, and the Diana balm really puts the finishing touch on a shave! ;) :D

    I just can't get into non-alcohol-based Aftershave splashes. The Provence Sante Green Tea is just about the only one that I like without alcohol.
