SoS: February 13th, 2012 ~ February 19th, 2012

Sure makes me nervous seeing that ceramic dish and porcelain mug setting that close to the edge.

 

You're right!!

Great shavers think alike, no?

 

I thought as much! But I think my first answer was about the same wasn't it? I would have to look, but I'm in a lazy mood...

 

Although I shaved last night at about eleven 0'clock, I will call this Sunday's shave.

Pre-shave: TSD ISZ pre-shave balm (marinated for about 30 min) and a hot shower
Soap: Speick shave stick
Brush: Simpsons Colonel
Razor: Schick G1
Blade: Schick
Post-shave: Warm water rinse, cold water rinse, witch hazel
Balm: AOS Sandalwood post-shave balm

This is my second time in a row using the Schick and I am really liking it. I wish I could say the same thing about the Speick shave stick. I really didn't care much for the scent and I'm not sure if I can get passed it. I will give it another try and see what happens, but I don't know. The performance was pretty good, so we will just have to see. The shave itself was great, near BBS and I love waking up in the mornin, feeling my face and being super smooth. My wife doesn't mind it either.

 

I love the smell of napalm Speick in the morning.

 

Sunday's Shower and Shave
Hot Shower with Razorock Ginseng
Omega "48"/ Razorock Caco
Gillette Knack/ Persona Blue
Polar water splash, Thayer's Witchhazel, Osage Rub The :wave:rated this DFS a stellar 10. Everyone have a great week.

 

Dont worry Johnny they were there only long enough to snap the picture then moved back to the cabinet to thier safe resting spots. I handle the MWF with GREAT care and dry hands, I've almost dropped it once and that was once to many. Slippery little bas#&>* when its wet.

 

Saturday and Sunday

Schick Hydro Magic
Personna blade
Vulfix best badger travel brush
MWF day 1 and 2
TSD Iced Eucalyptus WH
Floid blue

Ready for the MWF week! The MWF is okay for my skin, no problems there, so my issue with Musgo Real cream had nothing to do with lanolin after all.
Razor change tomorrow, I'm planning to change razors less often, I got a bit carried away in my first 7 weeks here at The Den...

 

There's a Crabtree & Evelyn Store 10 miles from my house. I have no excuse for failing to include Nomad in my meager shave den.

 

Hot towel
Shave Secret
Warmed Musgo Real
'56 Fat Boy w/ Feather blade
Cold towel
Permission Menthol Toner
