Gillette red tip
Voskod
Semogue 2000? The big one
MdC
Nivea cool kick asb

First go with this Semogue. Boy did it smell like a piggy. Hopefully it'll go away sooner than later. I need borax to clean all my brushes anyways so maybe I'll pick some up. Other than that it's a fantastic brush. Huge face lathering machine! I might not ever buy anything other than a Semogue again, and I still have one to break in after this.

Saturday:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
#6 Horsehair
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Mama Bear Awakenings SS
Anherb AS Conditioner
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Brut Cologne

Another almost perfect shave but the 7 AM blade got really tired, so it's now in the garbage and will be replaced on Monday morning. The Awakenings soap is so frigid that it can almost compete with Iced Subzero. The lather is a bit tricky to create, but when you get the water/soap ratio right you're in for a treat. The Anherb conditioner is not only very cooling and soothing, it's so moisturizing. I don't think the Penguin needs to be described because it's so good.

 

PRE: Hot Towel + MR GLO Soap + Am. Crew PSO
BRUSH: Omega 636
SOAP: Tabac
RAZOR: 78' Super Adjustable (7)
BLADE: Gillette Silver Blue
POST: Alum + Alt. Innsbruck + Seacret ASB



After having early morning classes the past two weeks, I decided to skip a day and get back on the AM shave routine. Also tried out the Silver Blue in the adjustable. The blade seems to work well for me in this razor too. Overall...A great result, would have been BBS if I hadn't missed a small spot under my chin (pilot error). Have a great day all!

 

Saturday morning:



Futur clone
7:00 yellow
Sabi black badger
Speick
Krampert's bay rum

I was careless. No blood, but it is a good thing Krampert's is so soothing.

 

Miss my racquetball days...may have to pick this sport back up!

 

It does seem that Eucalyptus has some cooling effect. The American Crew PSO I use has Eucalyptus EO and it is slightly cooling (to me). Either way...It is a nice scent!

 

I've never tried raquetball. I can't figure the rules out. Squash was obviously invented by a ten year old, so that's my game.

 

Saturday morning, June 22, 2013

Schick E2 Injector with Personna blade (9)
Semogue 1305 boar bristle brush,
Arko shaving soap with hot water lather,
finish with cold water rinse for a DFS!

 

Saturday, June 22, 2013

Chubby 2, Speick, Black Beauty, Bolzano (1), Pinaud's Bay Rum



Satisfying shave this morning, a good start to a day scheduled to include a Kite Festival on the coast with my family.

Enjoy the weekend!

 

Ah...Hard to tell from the pic what type of racquet...For me Squash are for eating! That ball just doesn't bounce enough!

Merkur 38C HD w/Crystal
Palmolive Classic SC
GT G4 Scuttle
Omwega 31064 Boar
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea Replenishing ASB
Brut Original Cologne

The 38C Barberpole is a real hand axe! It is not only a hefty piece of whisker removal equipment; it can be used for your daily cardio workout. lol
With all it's size it is still a gentle giant and delivers a smooth and comfortable shave with each use. Excellent razor for a sunny saturday morning. Nothing helps prepare a guy for tractor repairs than starting the morning with a 38C Barberpole shave; get's the testosterone flowing! lol Have a great weekend Gentlemen!

 

Great refreshing shave today. I feel like I neglected the lilac aftershave this spring, so I making up for it in the summer!
