Interesting shave today. I had a teeny bit of irritation yesterday left over from Monday's shave but most of it healed up over night so I was good to go this morning. The Ingram I couldn't get to lather worth a damn at first but I added more cream and had better results. The combo of the Ingram and the Aqua Velva gave me a HOLY MENTHOL kick in the pants and I was wide awake and ready to take on the day. I will say, however, that straight out of the bottle I feel like the AV smells like a urinal cake. But after it's been on for a while, it starts to smell REALLY NICE. Good day.

Miércoles // 03/06/09

Pre
Hot Shower
RS Self-Heating Pre

Shave
1st Pass: Parker 22R w/ Astra Superior (First use for the Parker DE)
2nd Pass: Bic Sensitive Disposable
Rooney 3/1 Best
Tabac Shaving Soap

Post
Black Magic AS
RS Post

Result: I always seem to be scraping this one spot on my left jawline. Unfortunately that was the only bad part of the shave. The funny thing about this whole ordeal is that when i put alcohol AS on, my entire face never experienced a burning sensation. I'm not sure if this is actually skin scraping this time, but looks like that is the case. I was scared to severely scrape after using the Parker, so I switched to the Bic sensitive for the second pass. All in all it was a close shave, however, the skin scraping / irritation still needs to be fixed...

 

Wednesday 3rd

Merkur Gold Progress
Derby Extra
Vulfix 1000A
Williams Mug Shaving Soap

Skin Bracer Original

 

Tuesday - TSD Week

Cream: Clubman Eshave (thanks EW)
Brush: Golden Nib Silvertip in C&E handle
Razor: Gem Clog Pruf
Blade: Pella D2
Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
Krona with Feather D
Aftershave: Thayers Rose WH / Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Results: Not a very good shave. Last week with the clog pruf and pella it was great (close and smooth). This time it was like the pella was barely taking any off. After the 3rd pass, I switch to the krona with feather with an oil pass that saved the shave.
