Day 6 - SOTD 6 July 2015

30 Days with Maggard OC and MITA!


​

Day 2 on ASCO, another good shave. These blades are smooth and forgiving. I have not done a blade trial since I was brand new, and I am really enjoying the subtle differences in smoothness and cutting feedback. Classic Osage Rub for Monday...other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

​

 

Thanks so much Glacial Lavender for my frozen, BBS shave and thanks so much Mr Penguin for making me feel so cool and comfy!

Many firsts
I recently traded for Midnight and Two soap in the Cabin scent, as well as Van Yulay pre shave oil and balm. The soap has a masculine combination of cedar and pine with some other aspects. I'd say it's pleasant and reminds me of the cabin my family used to rent up North in summer. I won't really review it yet, but my first impression is a good one. The oil went on easily and did not seem to clog the razor, though this was not a great shave. I broke the rule about trying one new thing at a time, so I cannot pin down the weak link. It could just have been the blade or technique. I had a few small weepers and some burn, so I used the sample of Van Yulay Idzan balm and it worked great. The scent is in the tobacco family and the burn was gone quick. I used some Roam aftershave to round out this very manly scented shave.

4 passes this morning (instead of 3) mainly because my lather was so luxurious I couldn't resist.

 

Go for it! Get that baby into high gear! Use a higher setting for a WTG pass, then dial it down to finish. Who says it has to stay the same time entire shave?
