SOS: July 2018

Thank you. I’m as happy as I can be with a boar brush.

Here's my Tuesday SOTD:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 3
Wriggly Tin Vanilla Patchouli SS
Fino ASB
Quorum EdT

It's a good thing I have this Super Speed because another razor would have left me with cuts everywhere. I had to rush this shave and I hate doing that. I very much enjoyed this Wriggly Tin soap and the Fino balm so it wasn't a total loss after all. I'd rate this shave a DFS, but just barely.

 

I'm happy to have joined you as a Razorock owner-but you'll always be the "Plissoft Man". Nivea has a "COOL" Men's Bodywash, but I haven't seen it around late. Dial's "Sub Zero" has to suffice for now, and it's a good backup.

 

I like my boars too. I just had a bad experience with the Thäter.

 

Tom's No Name SE razor
Gem Stainless blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
Stirling Margaritas in the Artic SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water w/added menthol

Another fine shave with this razor. Smooth, easy to use and very effective. I like it a lot. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Uhh. Circumstances have changed those original plans. I had no choice.

Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Merkur platinum (2)
Lather: Cremo Shave Cream
AS: Mennen afta/Original Old Spice


Will I ever learn...... I can`t shave without a pivot head !! A 2 pass, WTG/ATG with more than a few cuts and weepers. Styptic pencil to the rescue ! The actual outcome isn`t that bad, but only a decent shave. I love the old style wet shaving that the urge is stronger than my will power, please have mercy on me. I`ll get over it, but down the road, what? God Bless one and all with a great shave.

Nice. I have an unopened Zaro. How is it?

 

All right, there's an Unscented Stoylin A.S....that might be worth trying sometime....you get the classic Stoylin feel, and it can work with any soap out there.

 

THANK YOU!! I was waiting for that, wondering who would come up with it. I might have known it would be you. Most observant. Go with God.

It’s an aloe & witch hazel blend, with or without menthol. It’s really good stuff.
