Friday 1/9 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: Knotty Badger refurbished with silvertip Every Ready 300
  [*]Soap: MWF
  [*]Razor: '48 Gillette Super Speed
  [*]Blade: Treet Classic Dura Sharp coated (shave 2)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Nivea Extra Soothing ASB
  [*]EDT: 4711 Cologne
  
  [*]Result: Nice and smooth BBS shave. Did nick myself at each corner of my mouth on the first pass. Didn't have the razor tightened down the whole way. Dummy me. I am amazed with the MWF. For me it lathers so easily and makes a rich and slick lather. It would be my favorite soap if it had more of a scent. Still I look forward to using it.

 

Showoff.

Saturday 1/10/09:

Prep: Shower/OCM
Brush: Penchetta Penworks Silvertip

Razor: 1965 Gillette "Slim" Adjustable

Saturday

All Metal Trac 11
Personna Blade
Omega Boar Brush
Pirates Cove Lime Soap
Thayers Rose Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue After Shave

Excellent for a colder morning (for Florida) high 40s

 

Saturday:--a new cream

Omega Silvertip
Lord Super/7 AM day 1
Dalan Eucalyptus/Menta S/C
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Tabiano A/S gel
Chabrawichi 555 cologne

This Dalan is another Turkish cream, but it has nothing to do with Arko--it comes from a different company. Good lather, smells nice, and pretty good skincare as well. I had a very nice shave this morning, and it felt good to use my Lord razor!

A before dinner shave. Only the second time using the Special Reserve aftershave/cologne. It has a strong scent, didn't like it the first time I tried it a couple of months ago, so I used just a light splash this time and got a more favourable reaction from the Missus and liked it better myself!
