Wednesday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi TTO/new Nacet
Italian Palmolive Menthol S/C
Tabiano A/S gel
Alcolado Glacial mentholated splash
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer

A new Nacet blade, and a super-mentholated extravaganza, and I had a great shave. I also smell great. (According to Madame!)

 

Good Wednesday morning all...

'58 Gillette Tech w/Astra (1)
C&E BBB
Irisch Moos shave stick
Thayers Original WH w/aloe
Booster Lilac AS
GHT Sandalwood Skin Food

Fist time using the Irisch Moos...I may becoming a shave stick fan...this gave a wonderfully smooth lather with a hint of it's cousin's (Tabac) scent, three passes with the Tech and another BBS result. This stuff is good.

Wednesday 3/18

• Ever Ready T100 Boar
• Palmolive Menthol Cool
• Gem Featherweight
• Pella Gem Stainless (1)
• Thayer's Alcohol Free Original
• Wesley & Scott Lightly Mentholated balm
• EdT(C?) - sample from Colonial Drug marked "Reg" - it reminds me a bit of the TSD Mayan Gold scent....

Result: Don't think the Featherweight is for me, it's a bit too light. I'll keep at it though. A few nicks, which is quite rare for me, DFS not BBS. Face lathered the cream today, first time doing that. Eh, I think I like a bowl better for that, too. I may have not used enough cream, either.... I don't know. As for the scent, it seems to be coming out a bit more medicinal...like a not nearly so strong Proraso mixed with Palmolive..... I'm a little stuffed up in the nose, so take that with a grain of salt...

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
fatboy/feather
J Peterman 1903 SC
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdT

Whew.........that's a LOT better when using one of my normal set ups. Heh, my face couldn't take another aggressive razor day, and the fatboy was the perfect replacement. Somehow, I've gotten away from the other two blades I've also been pairing with this razor (Iridium and 7 0'clock yellow), and have only used the feathers for a while now. Sharper than the other two, and just as easy to shave with. No worrying about cutting myself anymore......I can even go pretty fast if I'm rushed. I guess I may have the hang of this shaving thing.

BBS results, and my face feels as it should afterwards. Ahhhh, back to normal.....

Quick shave today:

Olive Oil preshave
Gillette Tech
Derby blade (shave 3)
TOBS Sandalwood
eShave white tea aftershave balm

I have a growing appreciation for the Tech. I can get a nice fast BBS shave with no nicks or irritation. The really low profile head is perfect for getting close under the nose.

 

Kaveh, Grey Flannel is wonderful stuff, Madame loves it on me! Here she is! This was done at a show last year!
