No-name German three-pieced Open-Comb is dazzlingly gorgeous and beautifully balanced, but needs more blade exposure.

Kent's Black SC is so arcane; who sells this stunner?

This Start shaving cream is so good. The lather is rich, the scent is clean and pleasant, and the skincare is very gentle. My only complaint is that the tube is too small--only 39 grams. Where did I get it from? A nice guy who is from the German Forum called Gut Rasiert sent it to me.

Tuesday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel
1958 Gillette TV SS (for neck)
Iridium Super (Shave #1)
Gillette Mach 3 (for face)
Tweezerman Deluxe
Palmolive Classic SC (European)
Floid A/S (Italian)
TSD AS Milk

Had a tough time getting up this morning so I was pretty behind getting ready for work, hence the Mach 3. Last weeks shave with the 7 O'Clock Yellow really put a bad taste in my mouth. The Iridium Super performed MUCH, MUCH better. I got an AMAZING lather from the Palmolive this morning. Very slick, very moisturizing and just an all around pleasure to paint onto my face. I felt the need for a little pick me up so I opted for the Floid A/S for the finish. I can get a wee bit closer with fewer passes when I use the Mach 3 but it's just not as fun. Good to have as a back up in case you're running late though. Enjoy the day!

 

L Type Schick Injector
Schick blade
Omega boar brush
KMF unscented s/c
Aqua Velva a/s

This is my standard "running late" setup - a hot water splash and a bit of olive oil for prep,
lather straight on the face and then three quick passes followed by a cold water splash and some AV.
Works every time
