JHL Cologne

This shave was a frigid delight from the start to the finish. The Palmolive Cool cream is sold all over the former Eastern Bloc countries, like Romania, Poland, Croatia, Serbia, Moldova, etc. It has all the right ingredients for shaving pleasure, such as wonderful lather, a nice scent, and a powerful menthol effect. The Svoboda balsam is in a class by itself.

Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Treet Durasharp
Brush: Simpson Ehsan
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime

The Wilkinson Sticky is one of my favorites but for whatever reason, it has been idle lately. It did not hold any grudges and delivered an outstanding shave! The Trumper Wellington was an excellent finish; it reminds me a bit of Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet.

Brush: Omega imitation badger, Lucretia Borgia
Razor: EJ DE89L

I took my time this morning for a lovely BBS shave. It was just what I needed to perk me up and get me going. I was groggy from a lost weekend, having been called into work both Saturday and Sunday for an emergency. Happily, the code is fixed, the problem is resolved, and our whole team was smiling this morning with bloodshot eyes at our "stand up" status meeting.

This was the first model razor I ever saw, whenI first watched my Dad shaving...It was the first model razor I ever shaved with when I learned to shave...It was my main "go-to" during my teen and twenty's....Now after many years of multi-bladed distraction, it is so wonderful to return to these perfect shaves that are so easy to get with this wonderful razor...

In all these years I've never found a better shaver...Quite a testament to the enduring quality of build and timeless design of these Eversharp Schicks...
