SoS Jan 12 - 18

Sunday:

Omega Silvertip
Lord Super/new Sharp
Ingram S/C
Vifrex A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Brut cologne

I love this Ingram so much--I find it so much like Noxzema in some ways. The lather, menthol and scent are similar. What a great shave this morning!

 

Fatboy w/ Feather
C&E BBB
Valobra Almond
Alum Block
CK Eternity
Trumper's Lime Skin Food

About a dozen weepers going ATG. Not sure what happened, it's either the feather, the Valobra, or the combination of the two. Used the same set-up yesterday except MWF instead of Valobra, so that's my most likely.

Shavemac Genuine Horn

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Tuckaway/feather (one pass only)
IK SS
Alford & Hoff moisterizer
Storer 'Monk' EdP

I am done with this Tuckaway.......... it's an accident waiting to happen.......heh. Got out the big guns (IK) as a final test, and man.........this isn't the razor for me. Too light and too aggressive........not a good combo, but others would probably enjoy it.

One WTG pass was enough to put the razor away, after first taking the blade out and using it in the fatboy. Man.........night and day! Finished my other 3+ passes in total comfort, with not the slightest concern about anything bad happening. The razor did it's usual magical waltz over my face. helped by the excellent lather from the IK.

There, back to normal,
Martin

 

Sunday

Heavy Trac11
CVS Blade
Omega Small Boar Brush
Pirates Cove Lime Soap
Thayers Rose Witch Hazel

The bay rum is loaded with cinnamon and makes this after shave very spicy. Excellent any time.
