Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Yves Saint-Laurent Pour Homme-EDT

Although I'm known now as "Israeli Ambassador to Bulgaria", deep down in my heart, I'm still very much a "Mr. Freeze"! This Top Ten Sensitive cream has a LOT of menthol in it, and Klaus can back me up on how cold the Diana balm is!

Acqua Di Gio EDT
Tunes: Had to hit that new Motown playlist. Just incredible tunes.

I'll tell ya, this is just one of those razors. I can't point to one thing that it does better than (or even as well as) any of my other razors but it's just a fun little razor to shave with. Despite the fact that it gives DFS at best, every time I use it, I seem to like it a little bit more.

 

It's VDH Wednesday!!!

Wednesday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Gillette 1953 40's Style SS
Swedish Gillette (Shave #3)
Noxzema Green Can
Aqua Velva Classic A/S
TSD AS Milk
Preferred Stock

Let me just start by saying that this was not the original set up for this morning that I had intended. I actually started off using my Omega 48 Professional boar brush and a puck of Williams Mug shave soap. What a disaster!! That crap isn't worth the buck that I paid for it. It seemed like it was lathering nicely but a few minutes after application to the face, it started to dissolve. Just an unpleasant experience altogether, which is a disappointment because I really like the scent of it. Not wanting to take any more time to build more lather with something else, I opted for the Noxzema green can which did it's job just fine. My end results were passable, a splash of AV for some freeze face and some TSD AS Milk for moisturization and I was feeling pretty good.

Wash: Cusson's
Razor: Lord Click
Blade: Feather
Cream: BIC
Brush: C&E Pure
Splash: AV Blue.

...

Old-school Feather. Big difference between this more attractively packaged blade and the New Hi-Stainless? - No.

 

jajajajajajajaja,muy bueno amigo!

 

Wednesday:

Brush: Simpson PJ2 Super
Soap: Trumper Almond soap
Razor: EJ Lined Chatsworth
Blade: Crystal
After Shave: Thayer's Lavender; Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
Cologne: Creed Green Irish Tweed

The Chatsworth/Crystal combo did a pretty good job, but I got a good bit of drag for some reason. It was the first shave on this Crystal, so I'll need to see how the blade settles in after a shave or so.

 

C-MON razor
B&B Essential
Derby Lemon cream
TSD Iced Lime after shave

 

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky, Lucky--if I try to use a Feather blade, I won't have a face left......(
