    Wow. Four days have passed since a shave? Impossible, Unheard of, Absurd!! (Name the musical for extra points). But, it's really been that long. Longer on my head shave. About a month ago, maybe more, I decided to just chrome the dome and leave the sides to see what they would do. Well, they didn't do enough to convince me to leave them, but they did leave a mess behind to deal with. When your head shave looks like this:

    It's time to call in a pain stick for sure. So, the Kai with Feather Pro blades and VDH soap to deal with that, followed by the main event with the New LC and Voskhod because - nothing is more basic to getting a great 4 day shave than a sharp blade and baby, Voskhod is. It's Tabac Tuesday so a no-brainer there and the JR230 for the win.

    The head shave was a bit more challenging at that length, though the pain stick went through it without a problem. I did have to rinse the razor in a mug and not the sink to avoid clogging the pipes so it took a bit longer than usual but no worries. One minor nick when I set down wrong on the back of my head. It's sometimes tough to get the angle right on the downstroke because of the view in the rear view mirror. Only a minor problem. In fact it was a couple of minutes after I felt it before I saw any blood at all.

    As for the main event - the LC and Voskhod made those three passes easy. Ridiculously easy. Loved it, and the Tabac was gain excellent. I'll probably spritz on a bit of Tabac Cologne tomorrow before heading out.

    Speaking of tomorrow - it's GAME 7!! It's in Boston which means we should easily beat them. There is a watch party at Enterprise Center that sold out in 31 minutes. Another one in Busch Stadium that will no doubt sell out another 45,000 or so seats. You probably won't hear from me tomorrow as I plan to hunt down those fans on their way home from celebrating a STANLEY CUP WIN!!! Let's go BLUES!!

    Have a great Wednesday!

    Thanks! The brush looks so much better in person. The picture really doesn't show the details due to the dark color theme.

    Xerjoff? Impressive. I will have to order a sample of this juice. I have a tiny sample of Nio, which is the best citrus from a fragrance I've ever smelled, so I have to think this one is no exception.

    SOTD:
    Beautiful shave today, that Wilkinson sword TTO and Wilkinson sword brush that Sav very generously sent in a PIF from the UK are absolutely amazing. I tend to use the Wilkinson sword brush more for bowl lathering and the Omega 49 which Sav also sent for face lathering although thats changing quickly because the omega is also getting used for bowl lathering now. Both are absolutely fantastic brushes in their own ways!
    The Wilkinson sword TTO delivers a shave very similar to the vintage gillettes, like the super speed and for someone who uses double edged razors to save money its an absolutely amazing razor, i highly recommend it. I'll use this razor for a month and then do a comparison to both my superspeeds and a 1948 aristocrat.

    The palmshave lathered perfectly, provided that you use quite a lot of it so i might be changing scores in certain categories on the review i posted on different shave forums after some more testing.

    Razor: Wilkinson sword TTO
    Blade: personna lab blue (8)
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave premium
    Cream: palmshave lime

    Williams Wednesday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #273 Synthetic
    AutoStrop A1
    Valet AutoStrop (3)
    CWR
    Florida Water

    This it the third shave with the Valet Autostrop blade. My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #273 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the AutoStrop A1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
