NINE. WEDNESDAY.

Wash: Golnar
Razor: Popular
Blade: Derby
Soap: Omega
Brush: BBB
Splash: AV.

...

Golnar's a Persian bath soap with a fantastic scent, something along the lines of Arko, Williams and Ivory combined.

Hesitant to call Omega-in-a-Bowl an SS as it contains no soap in it - but one has to lather this hard cream like a soap, so whateva.

 

Loving that Click, huh, Justin?

Mine's called the "Lord Cool Click" because it came with a Lord Cool Blade and the blister pack had icicles printed around the edges

 

Wednesday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 2
Top Ten Menthol-SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Max Refreshing-AS
Acqua di Selva-cologne

Another very enjoyable Bulgarian-style shave this morning. This Top Ten cream smells very nice, and lathers like crazy. The menthol is not strong, but it still feels good on the face. Here's a photo of it.

Why the hell don't they make new and affordable injector razors? I got a remarkably smooth, two pass shave that mowed through 3 days of stubble like it was nothing. And yet, except for the super expensive Cobra Classic, no new injector razors are out there. WTF?
