    My menthol-free shave just now was very enjoyable - the Florena cream from Germany is awesome stuff. :)

    SOTD July 23, 2015

    Prep: Hot facecloth followed by homemade rose pre-shave oil
    Soap: Body Shop Maca Root Shave Cream
    Razor: Fendrihan DE 3 piece
    Blade: Astra (green)
    Brush: Semogue
    Aftershave: Hot facecloth followed by rose Witch Hazel
    Aftershave balm: Shea butter/coconut oil
    Mustache Wax: Badger

    This was my first time using the Body Shop Maca Root Shave Cream. It was a pleasant surprise.:happy088: Scent was mild....and for me that's always a bonus. I heard someone describe the scent as being like laying in a field of grass and wildflowers...and they were right. The Fendrihan with an Astra blade is such a solid combination. This was a nice shave. 10/10...and now I am ready to face the day. :chores016:

    Thor's Day:

    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
    Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger
    Lather: RazoRock One-X croap
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC OC
    Blade: Bic (4)
    Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (9, 10, 11)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma Alum, Dickinson's WH, Captain's Choice Cat o' Nine Tails AS splash
    Cologne: Gigember Estragone by Dr. Vranjes

    Due to a couple of foul-ups in my morning routine, I felt it necessary to bowl-lather the One-X this AM, giving the preshave balm the chance to actually soften my stubble. This made for very voluminous, but slightly airy, lather. Couple that with the Bic's 4th day, and I actually wound up with a little irritation, though no bloodshed and generally DFS results. The 'icy-hot' combination with the mentholated One-X and the heat of the Cat o' Nine Tails was interesting, if not particularly intense, as One-X is only mildly mentholated. I think I only have one more shave out of this jar.

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Gillette Black Tip, French Frame Back straight razor
    Blade: Astra SP (5)
    Brush: Turkish #6
    Soap: WSP - Black Amber Vanille
    After: Home made ASB
    Cologne: Prada - Amber Pour Homme Intense

    The #6 brush whipped the Black Amber Vanille into a wonderfully thick lather. The Black Tip and the Frenchy did their jobs really well. The Prada was a fine finish for this 2 pass Darn Fine Shave +.

    Have a blessed day!

    Schick M1 Adjustable razor
    Personna blade
    CO Bigelow SC
    Satin Tip "Purist" brush
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Pinaud Lime Sec with added menthol

    I don't think I care for the Satin Tip brush. It does the job but don't really like the feel or the way it applies the lather as compared to my silver tips. But, a fine shave was had and I'm ready to face the day.
