    Holy Toledo, where is this year flying to - we're almost in September. Here's my kickoff for a new week!

    Menthol Monday:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Astra

    YSL Pour Homme EdT

    All the right ingredients for a great face-freezing shave!

    Monday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #213 Synthetic
    46 Gillette Milord
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Florida Water

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #213 Synthetic brush. I did the two passes with the 46 Gillette Milord and a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    How are you liking the AOS Peppermint Guy? I find it to be a darn good cream. Might have to just use some tomorrow. :)

    Last time I remember using it was around the beginning of the year so had to put it in rotation for "Shave Cream week". Been wetshaving for five years and first time going to use shave creams for a solid week. I do like AOS shave creams though.

    Soap - Truefitt & Hill 1805
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    Little later than some nights thanks to Game of Thrones. I worked a bit late, wife was out doing other things, so we didn't start watching it until an hour late. Love my DVR. And, now that that's done, it's time to shave.

    The SharpEdge on 6 is a very fine shave, would be the short version. Lather with the Maggard knot was great and I remembered to use a bit of extra water to make it work. It definitely did. Two passes and touch ups, no blood, the baby is in the house and the alum is slightly warm. Nothing serious. Really just a very fine shave from a high quality blade and setup.

    Tomorrow night will be the acid test for irritation and harshness with the Slim wide open. Should be a great shave unless this sharp blade turns harsh.

    Short season for GoT and I won't give away any spoilers for those who still have it on their DVR. Have a great start to your week!




    Ok. One more.

    Outstanding shave this morning. I hope I don't get too much defiance this year. It's usually not a problem, and I'm really looking forward to my AP Psychology classes. It has grown from 10 students two years ago to 33 today.

    All I can say is "what an awesome shave!" - gotta go now because I'm in a bit of a hurry. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are going to New York City for three weeks, so I gotta take them to the airport!

    Have a great day, guys!
