SoS Jan 26 - Feb 01

​

 

Rooney 3/1
Tabac Soap
Relatively new to me '53 Superspeed
Crystals
Old Spice
Old Spice Homebrew ASB

BBS came at the cost of annoyingly high level of irritation...I'm thinking Derbys work better for me in this razor...

 

Tomorrow's shave:

De Luxe Big Fellow/Big Boy (not really sure what the hell it it is)
Derby
Rooney 1/2 Super
TOBS Lavender
Lemon Witch Hazel
Homemade Lavender Skin Food

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Brevete/Iridium
DR Harris Marlborough SS
Lucky Tiger AS
Ava Luxe 'Shisa' EdP

Another extremely close shave with the new razor. This one has a totally different feel than my fatboy, and I'm enjoying the results quite a bit. The head has a very handsome scalloped design that somehow works well on my face. I think a feather blade will be next up for this little beauty.

BBS results,
Martin

Oh, here's a pic of a similar razor head, although mine is in mint condition. The handle on mine is totally different looking also, in that it has a tube that goes through the sleeve, which is then threaded onto the head.

 

Monday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 2
Proraso Aloe & Green Tea S/S
Arko Aqua A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Aramis EDT

I'm really BBS thanks to this Ming Shi/7 AM combination--I cannot believe how cooling and soothing the Arko Aqua gel is, and it smells great, and even seems to compliment the Aramis!

 

Monday

61' Super Speed
Dorco ST-301
Omega Chrome Handle Boar
Pirates Cove Menthol Soap
Thayers Rose Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum

If you like bay rum and cinnamon (very spicy) then you will like this. Not flowery at all.

 

Monday: Parker 91r razor / Treet Classic blade d2 / VDH Deluxe soap / VDH brush / Florida Water Cologne / Wesley & Scott's Lime Balm

WOW! The Parker/Treet combo is so smooth, close and comfortable that I may have found "the setup", it's that good for me. But then I think about all the blades/soaps/colognes/ balms/creams/etc that are still out there. What to do?

 

'64 SS w/ 7 O'Clock yellow
C&E BBB
Ingram Shave Cream
Murray & Lanman Florida Water
Nivea AS Balm
Booster Ice AS

First time with the Ingram; it has a very different consistency than the Erasmic which may have contributed to a rather thin later. I need to work on the right amount to put on my brush. Otherwise a very nice shave.

Edwin Jagger BBB
Merkur Futur
Astra Superior
T&H Trafalgar S/C
Nivea Sensitive A/S balm

First time with the Astra superior. And it was really nice! Reminded me of the days with the feathers but in a good way! Very smooth but still very sharp. I have to say that the T&H cream is slightly more drying for my skin now when i have used the TOBS cream for a couple of days. Are going to place an order for some blades and some new cream as well today or tomorrow!

Shave of the WEEK!

I have never had a shave of the week before(well when I went on vacation once). I had a terrible shave yesterday with a bum blade(wont mention brand b/c they are really good except for that one) Came across a pack of Feathers I had in the medicine cabinet What the hell! Threw it in and what a shave! The Noxzema is great stuff and the Speick afterwards is heavenly! I might just have to give the feathers another chance! Razor is a slim adj on #3.
