SoS: July 3, 2017 - July 9, 2017

You have a great shave den Bob.

 

Gem Featherweight razor
CVS carbon steel blade
JR #85 brush
Lea Shave Stick
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water Cologne (mentholated)

Hadn't used the Lea stick for a long time and I remember why now. Doesn't work well for me. So, the shave, while ok, was not that great. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Sounds like it's time to unload the Lea.

 

Nice SOTD photo to mark your return.

 

Schulze 450
Oscar11 Boar Brush
Meisner lavender de Luxe Shaving Soap
Lavanda Eau de Cologne

 

Good picture and setup Roby.

 

Great picture!!!

 

Here's a nice setup which is enough to give a polar bear pneumonia!

Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 6
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented AS Balm
Stirling Lemon Chill WH
Pe Re Ja Cologne

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-COLD and beautiful!

 

BURLEY!!! BURLEY!!! the BURLEY Gang!
I have been looking for the Cologne for a while & I am glad I Have it! it really is the cherry on top of the burley sunday -hahah the cologne helps carry the scent all day!!! even had a remark on the elevator this morning .... I am a night shaver - so I splash at night and than use the same splash the following morning...

 

I LOVE Frozen Tundra! Earthy and Frozen Delight..... I can almost see Vince Lombardi patrolling the side lines as Bart Star takes the snap,

 

I actually started to pay for Photobucket (and have used it for 8 years and love it) - to get Ad Free, glad I did now is I was not impacted at all by the change. It really is not expensive. So easy to use.

So what are you using now?

 

SOTN July 6th


Gillette Aristocrat #58, Made in England
Super-Max Platinum(2)
30DCLE W/ 26mm Maggard Synthetic
La Toja

This was my second shave using the #58 with the Super-Max. My impression of the #58 is that it is much like the American Aristocrats, smooth and efficient. I made the comment to Neal a few weeks ago that perhaps the Super-Max Platinum might very well be the budget blade king, I still stand by that statement. It is smooth and sharp and can be regularly had for less then $8 per hundred.

Last night was my first go with the 30DCLE brush and it was amazing! It fits very well in the hand and the 26mm Maggard synthetic whipped up a slick, dense, lather in no time. It also took a good chunk our of the remaining La Toja, which I think only has one shave left in it.

Have a great day my friends

 

COBRA/SCHICK :: ROMERA :: L & L :: MYRSOL AGUA BALSAMICA
Two easy passes with the Classic. The Romera is superb, both the performance of the knot and the tactile feel of the genuine horn. The Rose Santal is intoxicating. Yum.​

 

Thanks Doug. Have a great weekend buddy.

 

nice razor....

 

Ming Shi 2000S Razor
Treet Black Beauty Carbon Blade
DIY Maggard 22mm Synthetic/Flashlight Handle Brush

A very nice shave today with the Ming Shi. Two passes with a little touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.
