Omega brush
Parker 22R/Sharp day 3
Hega shaving stick :drool :drool
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Yves Saint-Laurent Pour Homme edt

this Hega stick has a beautiful old school barbershop type scent, and does it lather like a madman. It also leaves the skin feeling great. I wish it would last forever, but it's not produced any more. :sad024

 

Hot shower and towel
Shavemaster V200
C&E Sienna Shaving Soap

Friday 10th

SUPER-HURRIED KAMIKAZE SHAVE ! (4 minutes from start to splash)

Wardonia Razor (Very agressive this one)
Derby Extra
Muehle Super
Boots Bowl

Pinaud Bay Rum

I overslept this morning so it had to be a superquick shave.. It turned out quite good actually - but no fun!

 

But at least you weren't dizzy/nauseated this morning, Thomas.

 

Saturday

 

Friday AM:

Kent BK4 Badger Brush
Gillette Tech Razor
Trig Stainless Double Edge Blade
Valobra Menthol Shave Soap
WWR
CWR
Witch Hazel Spray
Williams Aqua Velva (Spain)

 

SATURDAY

NDC SS
Russian Gillette Platinum blade
MP best badger
La Riana olive oil shaving soap
alum
swiss pitralon
provence sante ASB
shea butter

There are two possibilities today:
a) the shaving soap sucks. I didn't get any good lather from it but I know its ability to soak the whiskers, the slickness and the general performance should be great. Which only leaves us with option:
b) the Russian Gillette Platinum is the worst blade I've ever had in my entire life. It didn't really tug along, but five minutes after shaving my face looked like a massacre. I'd need some Axe oil now to numb my face...

Anyway, I tossed the blade and will try it again with a new blade from the pack tomorrow.

 

Saturday AM

In honor of Wil's b'day:

How shower

First out with the BIC blade, Nice.. Sharp and smooth.. And the Imperial Leather stick is magic! Superslick nice lather in a flash.. Great stuff!

Omega brush
Parker 22R/new Sharp
Erasmic shaving bowl :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Chabrawichi 555 cologne

as I said before, now you gentlemen know why I chose this avatar! Erasmic soap can kick the 3 T's in the butt! Also, a Parker/Sharp combo is really my best go-to for a BBS shave.

Pinaud Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic


Scent of this soap is great. I followed Seth's advice and held in under hot water for 3-4 min. and suddenly the entire bathroom bloomed with the scent of tobacco & bergamot. There are definite tickle your nose black pepper notes and just a hint of vanilla and what I think is lavender.


Have an outstanding day!
