Merkur Futur
Red pack personna
TOBS Eton college S/C
Nivea sensitive A/S balm

So, I got back to the red pack personnas today and what a great shave! I think that I will stay with these for a time now as it really makes wonders to my skin compared to the other blades that I've tried.
A close to BBS shave today. I needed to look and feel sharp due to a examination today and it went all good

 

Thursday:

Omega Silvertip
Lord Super/new Sharp
Arko Commando S/C
Arko Commando A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Black Garter cologne

I was always an Arko lover, and I still am--this Commando stuff is great. The a/shave gel is so cooling and fresh!

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Brevete/7 0'clock SharpEdge
DR Harris Marlborough SS
Lucky Tiger AS
Serge Lutens 'Musc Koublai Khan' EdP

Nice shave this morning, although the 7 0'clock blade wasn't quite as comfortable as I'd hoped. Still, I enjoy using this razor, and will continue shaving with this thing till I get tired of it....heh.

This combo does provide me with an extremely close shave, and it's a nice change up from my normal 'go to' fatboy'. Truth be told, I was getting a little bored with perfect shaves.....heh. Yeah, this Brevete has been fun. No weepers or tight feeling using this blade.

I rarely use this EdP, but it called to me this morning. Whew, this stuff is a winner if you like a musk fragrance.

BBS results,
Martin

Thursday 1/29 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: Ever Ready 300 refurbished with silver tip badger knot by The Knotty Badger
  [*]Cream: C&E Sweet Almond Oil
  [*]Razor: '22 Gillette NEW Standard - Silver
  [*]Blade: Iridium Super Stainless (shave 3) & Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (shave 1)
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & SCS Lavender ASM
  [*]EDT: SCS Dagger EDT
  
  [*]Result: A nice near BBS shave but it took some doing. Seems the Iridium blades that have worked wonders for me in the past just turned to junk. I think I got a bad blade. Only on shave 3 and it pulled and tugged and I suffered three nice nicks on pass one. Switched to my 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge to finish the shave and worked fine. The SCS Lavender ASM has a nice soft scent to it. May have to consider some of St Sue's other Lavender products.
