Wednesday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel
1953 Gillette 40's Style SS
Swedish Gillette (Shave #1)
Tweezerman Deluxe
Noxzema Lather SC
Aqua Velva Classic A/S

For whatever reason, I'm still getting an airy lather from the Noxzema. It still performs fairly well anyway but it's quite annoying. I was happy to be back using my 40's SS this morning. It is by far my favorite and best performing shaver in terms of closeness and comfort. Aqua Velva and I are fastly becoming good friends. GREAT SCENT! GREAT DAY!

I take back what I said: Master's Bay Rum is better than Pinaud's.

Lord's Intellectually Gifted Razor, which I rarely use, is an inexpensive way to get the best razor head possible: the Merkur fixed.

27 Aug 2009

Woke up as usual at around 7am.
Brush teeth
Hot shower
Grab Wilkinson brush (waiting for my Omega to get in, although this one will do for now)
Squeeze on some Florena (this stuff is awesome, and a great scent)
Grab Wilkinson Sword - plastic safety razor head (still waiting on my real razors to come in, HURRY)
Proceed with pass one WTG - went off without a hitch
Rinse, relather, proceed with pass two XTG - couple nicks not so bad
Then I get to around my mouth and, I guess, I paused and got a gash the length of the blade on my face (didn't really hurt, but I knew it would bleed)
Rinse warm, then cold
Witch hazel a little around my cuts
Styptic pencil for the next five mintues and wait for most of the bleeding to subside, then rinse that glaze from the pencil off
Slap on some Tabac AS - awesome!

Overall not too bad of a shave minus the hack job with the blade by my lip. Just have to take it slower next time. This was only my third DE shave and I was still a little razor burned from yesterday's Fusion shave (I broke my other Wilkinson plastic DE and had to replace it). I'm expecting better shaves when I get my real razors in that have a little more weight to them and I don't feel like I have to push down to shave, like I do with the Wilkinson plastic jobbies.

 

Hi friends, BBS and confortable shave today !!!

Thursday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 3
Spatia-SC
Karo Classic-AS balm
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Azzaro Pour Homme-EDT

My 1st shave with this Spatia cream, and I like it. Like all Bulgarian creams I've used, this brand also lathers beautifully, and has a nice, clean scent. There's also a slight cooling effect, which I enjoy. The Karo Classic balm is very soothing. Very honestly, Bulgaria produces some of the most fantastic shaving and skincare stuff! Blagodarya otnovo, Krasimir!

 

The skills of the bulgarians making shave stuff is not according to their export and distribution channels .....
