SoS: January 23rd ~ January 29th, 2012

Now, if he says he got a run in his panty hose we have a problem.

 

I think my grandson actually took mine from the bathroom at a Hampton Inn. I know Mechguy gets them from time to time at the Holiday Inn's he stays at.

 

Oh no lol not shavin the pits til im bout to get em tattooed and thatll be a while lol

 

Hope you are feeling better

 

Merkur 23C/Green 7OC
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Palmolive shave stick
Cold water splash

Was in hurry, so it was 2 passes DFS. Thumbs up for the Palmolive stick - absolutely love how it performs!

 

Friday
Proraso Pre/Post
Merkur 37C + Astra SP (D4 I believe)
Omega Mighty Midget
Proraso White
Cold Water Rinse + Old Spice Classic

I find myself using no other A/S lately, just loving the classic Old Spice just the way it is. Another great shave with my 37C, shaving my head tomorrow or possibly later on tonight - thinking I may give the slant bar a run for it's money on that one. Just take it super slow perhaps.

 

Friday:


Razor: Gillette New
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Brush: Best Badger
Soap: Williams
A/S: Master Bay Rum
Edt: Quorum


​

 

I better get me some then. Thanx

 

Only the second time I have used it. Smell is fairly neutral, and a very nice soother. Lemme use it a few more times and I will get back to u.

 

Saturday 28th January

Hot shower and Real Shaving Facial Scrub
Proraso Pre shave cream
Feather Artist Club RG
Omega 10029 Boar Brush
Arko Shave Stick
Alum Block followed by Arko Classic Fat.
Selin Turkish lemon cologne


A DFS+ two pass with touchup. The Arko classic fat is a strange beast. It has to be really worked in to the skin. However as it is getting decidedly cool over here (tropical compared to some of you gents and ladies), I decided to give it a go. It disappears once the AS is applied, leaving soft well finished skin. I like it!

 

Saturday

Gillette Super Adjustable
Shark day 1
Vulfix travel brush
C&E Sandalwood SS
TSD M bomb (2)
TSD Iced Eucalyptus Witch Hazel
D.R. Harris Sandalwood splash



After two days of struggling with the Voskhod blades I didn’t feel for a third try today. Last summer I shaved with the adjustable for three months in a row, it’s a great razor. And oh, mentholated sandalwood, I’m afraid I’m addicted, just two drops of the M bomb were needed and brrrrrrr. Love it!
All in all, great shave today

 

Saturday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/new 7 AM
Italian Palmolive Menthol SC
Diana Sport Menthol Balsam
Obsession For Men EDT

A brand-new 7 AM in the Super Speed gave me a true BBS and fantastic shave, and the Palmolive Menthol cream and Diana Sport balsam froze me beautifully. I really enjoy the 7 AMs because they're sharp and very smooth.

 

Saturday,January 28,2012
Hot shower
Feather AS-D1

Very decent shave this morning. Took about 20 minutes to do 1 pass but I will figure out this Feather.

 

I'm gonna have to try some of those 7 oc's. Which is better tho, greens or yellows?

 

Saturday, January 28, 2012. Good Morning!

Saturday-Band Rehearsal Day

I always wake up psyched on Saturday. The wide open day makes the jam much more fun then a week night.

But I'm no grunger (lol) I like a clean shave before my attempts at music from the Grateful Dead, classic rock and originals.

My Merkur 11 C Open Comb had a fresh Gillette Blue and had been waiting so I gave him the signal.

The Kit

Vitos-as pre and post
Vulfix 404
Gillette 7 o'clock Blue (1)
Merkur 11 C Open Comb (nick name O.C Wein)
RazoRock Caprician Lemon
Alcolado Glacial

This razor has totally exceeded my expectations as a milder brother to my Slanty, and a more aggressive brother to my departed EJ89.

I did my usual Poppa Sid style shave. three passes, with each stroke in the same order my grandfather taught me when I was five.

Perfect shave, smooth as silk, three no pressure passes, the beauty of the Open Comb (so glad I got one).

Now to chill out, listen to some Jerry Garcia, pick up my bass player, and test out my new Delay Pedal.

Get It On Bang a Gong Shave and Jam!
