    Dove Men Face Wash
    Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #6 High Mountain
    Merkur 15C
    Astra SP
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Cucumber WH
    Aqua Velva

    The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #6 High Mountain badger brush. Two passes with my Merkur 15C razor and a Astra SP blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Cucumber WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    That's a lovely thing you did for your daughter and grand daughter. Shame the bottle broke.

    That's an interesting looking razor. Does the handle come apart?

    Fridays shave

    So I knew I would have to be up early this morning so I did something I've never done before. Selected my Shave gear the night before and set it out ready in the bathroom. Then at about 1.00 am I woke up couldn't get back to sleep. I went on here and found out that a good freind of mine was planning on using the same soap. Oh great I thought, I'm gonna look like a stalker.
    I did have a great shave with a great soap. I'm just glad I didn't use my tech like I had considered doing.

    Day 3 of 7-day Vacation on
    Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada

    Island climate, island time, island life.

    ...and then the rains came. Actually it's a good thing.
    All of Western Canada and the US are in drought mode with wild fires blazing. This may at least help a bit with the fires.

    Oh well, at least we can shave in any weather!

    Omega brush, Stirling Island Man, Aristocrat/GSB and YingYand AS.

    Great two-pass shave once again.
    Ahoy!

    I just had a nice shower with Stirling Glacial Wintergreen bath soap which is ice-cold, now here's my shave plans for Saturday:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Derby day 4
    Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic SS :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Gold Bond Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Alt Innsbruck AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:

    I have my dear friend Ryan to thank for introducing me to Rod's wonderful soaps - it was he who sent me the MITA which smells so awesome, lathers so rich, creamy, and slick, and gives such a great chilling kick. The Gold Bond (ah, shut up, Jeff!) is an absolute necessity for me and so is the Alt Innsbruck. Its scent is beautiful and it's got plenty of menthol in it! ;) :D

    Thanks, Doug. I can hardly wait. I look forward to VDH Luxury each time it gets near in the rotation. It is one of my best performers. I am getting close to the end of this puck. I will definitely be replacing it.

    Had a decent shave today. The scent of the PDP no.63 is awesome! A little spicy but sweet. hard to describe. Osage Rub is a nice kick of menthol and the bottle seems to last forever. Hope everyone had a great day and a great shave!!

    What a wonderful shave this morning! I decided to go back to the Gillette Old Type since my extensive practice with the New SC. Impressive results and no feedback from the Alum! :shocked003:

    The Gulf Islands are stunning in the rain and we so desperately needed this rain, today! It is just beautifully refreshing and one of the reasons I love the west coast, except when it rains, incessantly!
    Enjoy the rest of your vacation! :)
