    The Williams wasn't that bad once I killed the scent. Good thing I like menthol. The lather was a little thin, but usable.

    No Shave :sad024:

    Tuesday, August 16, 2011
    • Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, hand strop blade
    • Lather: Real Shaving Co. Sensitive
    • Brush: Frank Shaving Fine Badger
    • Razor: Gem OCMM
    • Blade: Walgreen's Gem (4), 2 passes
    • Post: WH + alum splash, Aqua-Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade
    • Cold water shave
    Oh how I have missed the efficiency of the OCMM. I was unable to shave yesterday and this razor just mowed down all the stubble that dared get in it's way. Only 2 passes needed with slight touch-up under the jaw for my closest to BBS ever. I can't stop running the back of my hand all over my face this morning.

    My first SOTD :)

    Razor: Futur
    Blade: Derby (2)
    Cream: GFT sandalwood
    Brush: Simpson Emperor 2
    Post: TOBS sandalwood gel

    I've only had this razor a few days. It's quite different compared to my other DE's. For that reason I've toned down the blade and adjusted to around 1.5.

    The shave was lovely. I quite enjoyed the sandalwood.

    Drinking more water may help, especially as the day is ending since you can't drink water while you sleep. A minimum of 1/2 your body weight in ounces is how much water you need each day. 100 lb person needs 50 oz, while a 200 lb person needs 100 oz. HTH.
