And I've got a great addition to my rotation! 8/8 W&B restored by Glen Vie-Long horsehair brush Painted ceramic bowl Valobra menthol soap (LOVE it!!! The menthol kick, clear scent, glide and protection are just perfect. ) Tet-a-tet ASB So smooth, so clean, so mild! 3 passes DFS+ without even traces of irritation! Tet-a-tet balm is also a winner.

Sunday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Personna day 3 Musgo Real SC Keri unscented moisturizer Musgo Real Classic AS Another wonderful shave that I enjoyed so much this morning. The Musgo stuff is really super-nice - the cream has that awesome "old-school" scent that I love, and even Madame loves it. The aftershave is a real treat. It makes my skin feel so good, and the scent is a delight. I don't know too many guys who don't like it. :biggrin:
Sunday, August 14 EJ DE86 Voskhod (d1) Preshave Oil Blend Arko Boosted Classic Brand Menthol SS Vulfix 2235 Super Badger Superior 70 Five blades-BBS. Couldn't miss on 5 passes. These Voskhods are sharp enough to do well on 3 passes, yet forgiving enough to permit more passes without irritation. Did my preshave oil just in case given the extra passes. I will be "faceterbating" today.

Sunday's Shave Hot shower Pre-shave; Musgo Lime/Johnson Baby Oil Badger Brush Mama Bear's Hydrogen Gillette Knack/Trig Ogallala Bay Rum The Knack is the newest member of my den. Today it was it'singrauli shave. Very nice razor, nice balance, the right amount of aggressiveness. Deliver a DFS Also today I used my first puck of newly acquired Mama Bear's. I understand why her soaps get rave reviews. It was slick, provided a nice almost effortless shave, great moisturizing. The great thing about wet shaving is the endless amount of choices of so many great products.
Gem OC MicroMatic Gem Stainless PTFE Simpson Chubby 2 Best Williams Mug Soap Alum Superior 70 Bay Rum I've been on a boar kick recently, so it was nice to come back to the Chubby 2. Great brush that just decimated the puck of Williams. I think I am going to keep this puck of Williams in regular rotation, I have really been liking my shaves with it.
Sunday Prep: 30 minute marinade with TSD ISZ PSB, hot shower Coffee: BJ's Kenya AA, BLACK Soap: TSD Cedarwood + 3 drops M Bomb Brush: Vulfix 406, The Burlington Razor: Kriss Kross Blade: ??? brand injector, day 3, 3+ passes Post: Cold water rinse, ice water splash, Dickenson's WH, Pinaud Clubman AS, hand strop blade 'Stache Wax: Steve's Own Shave Rating: 5 Blades Another great shave with the Kriss Kross. My first pass was with the razor in the standard position. For pass number two I swiveled the head to either side and used it that way. Pass three and the touch up were with the razor in the standard position. The handle is a bit short for my liking to use it "str8 razor" style, that is with the handle at 3 or 9 o'clock. It does a great job with the handle at 6:00. I wouldn't say this razor is on my "must have" list, but if I come across one and the price is right, I'd pick it up. Not something I would use every day, but then again, I don't have any razor that I use every day. I just finished giving her a Scrubbing Bubbles soak and brushing with a soft toothbrush; all nice and shiny. Now to box her up and send her on her way to Jeff. To Derrell, thanks again, man, for entrusting me with your razor and the opportunity to have some fun with it. God bless.
Sunday 14 August Starbucks Italian Roast Black Proraso white with 2 drops of M-Bomb Gillette Slim (6) w/ Feather (D2) Omega boar 10015 Osage rub-Proraso ASB. Three passes with one touch-up, nice easy shave for a very rainy day. Packing for next week selecting what I want to take for this weeks trip, and watching rio with my daughter. Just a good day.

Decent shave in Sunday. Was interrupted by a phone call after WTG pass, so did WTG+XTG only. I'll shave again in Monday before work for some wake-up... 8/8 W&B restored by Glen Vie-Long horsehair brush Wilkinson Sword soap in blue bowl Mayor Energy Platinum splash No rating.
That happened a couple of times to me when I was enjoying a nice shave, and the phone rang. I hate to be interrupted when I'm shaving.
