Sunday 12/14 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: Knotty Badger refurbished Ever Ready 300 Silvertip
  [*]Cream: SCS Verbena
  [*]Razor: '09 Gillette Old Type with Single Ring Handle
  [*]Blade: Polsilver Stainless (shave 16)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & SCS Savory Rose ASM
  [*]EDT: SCS Very V
  
  [*]Result: BBS. Smooth. No blood. Enjoyable shave this morning. The Polsilver is amazing me with its endurance. Just when I think it is going to give out is seems to just get a second wind of sharpness to give me a great shave after the touch up pass. As usual the SCS Verbena and its scent helped make the shave so good. Just love that scent and the lather the soap makes.

 

Second shave in one day:
Super Speed
Astra Superior
T&H 1805 sample
C&E BBB
Alum Block
T&H 1805 ASB sample
As much as I and TWGW like 1805 cologne, I think I like the almond and lime creams better. But not by much.

Sunday: Musgo Real Lime Preshave soap / Lord Smart razor / Crystal blade d1 / Generic Pure Badger brush / Arko Shave Stick / Clubman Pinaud aftershave

The Lord Smart razor is very nice. Combined with the Crystal blade it gave me a great shave. I used the badger brush this morning but gotta say I prefer a nice soft boar brush.
