Sandalwednesday
My second shave with Ada's Sandalwood was an excellent one. I bloomed it in my teacher mug, then loaded the Colonel dry. I was easily able to build thick lather. I used the Fatboy on 9-9-7 to decimate my stubble in comfort and without drama. I finished with Fougére Classique and Shea Moisture balm.

Prep: Van Yulay Pre Shave oil
Soap: Ada's Soapworks Sandalwood
Brush: The Colonel
Razor: 1959 Gillette Fatboy 9-9-7
Blade: Voskhod (2)
AS: B&M Fougére Classique

This was a completely dry shave just before bed last night. Had two days growth but only wanted to even up the sideburns and...got carried away. Took very light 'buffs' and experienced no nicks or real irritation; I was surprised it went as well as it did. Ended up DFS. LOTS of dry skin came off (probably no more than usual but it was very noticeable in the sink) so I finished up with Lucky Tiger lotion and hit the sack.

No, I would not do this regularly, but it's nice to know it can be done if I'm ever stranded on an island and Mary Ann doesn't want to shave me again.

Am saving whatever grows back for the Red Tip that I'm expecting in a day or two.

 

WEDNESDAY
Possibly my last real shave for the next 3 days as I'll be leaving tomorrow morning with wife & friends on a camping trip.
Unless I manage to squeeze one more in in the early morn. If not, this morning's fine shave will have to tide me over until Sunday morn!
Have a Happy HumpDay, all!

 

How do you like the special reserve? =) how does it compare to the original?

Super-BBS shave this morning with a bone-chilling freeze after using the Glacial Wintergreen trio!

 

Lovely picture Clint.

 

I think I found a new favorite AS/EdT combo.....The Myrsol Agua de limon matches perfectly with Royall Rugby. Unfortunately I'm almost out of the Royall Rugby sampler I have and will have to wait until August before I can buy anything.

 

Get well soon!!!

7/22/2015 Wool Fat Wednesday!!

Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Gillette Super Speed 40's, Friodur Inox straight razor
Blade: Astra SP (4)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat

It is Wool Fat Wednesday! The Vie Long brush whipped the MWF into a wonderful lather. The MWF just exploded in the bowl this morning. I had enough lather for at least 6 passes. The SS and the Inox worked well together. The Prada was a fine finish for this 2 pass Darn Fine Shave.

Have a blessed day!
