Penchetta Penworks Silvertip
Palmolive Moisturizing Deluxe S/C
Gillette Slim (4)
Gillette 7OCB
Thayer's Alcohol Free Original
Anherb Gel

Result: Moisturizing Deluxe scent > Deluxe Lather scent. However, as has been mentioned before, the Moisturizing Deluxe scent isn't all that, either. But I don't dislike it. Nice shave today. I think I'm going to give the Palmolive creams a rest now....

Dovo Red-Sleeve,
IP-loaded.
Williams SS.
Omega 1077.

Williams isn't terrible, but it's by no means good. Contrary to what people have noted, I found it lathers incredibly easily but lacks slip. Arko, VHD and Conk are all better.

The scent is disgusting.

For the price of a puck one could buy a pack of Dentyne Spicy Cinnamon gum, and that's precisely what I'm going to return it for

 

Hot Shower
Shave Secret shave oil
Coconut Scented Glycerin Soap from Susie's Bubbles
Schick Injector E3 with CVS Blade

Osage Rub

My best shave ever! My E3 injector just arrived today and I had to try it out. First shave ever with a injector and I got my first truly BBS shave. Even the wife commented on the smoothness. I may have to pick up a couple more, one each for my sons after they try mine.

First shave with TSD soaps, and it was excellent . This soap has a different feel than the other handmade soaps I have used. Thanks, JoAnna!

Imperial Leather and De Vergulde Hand smell very similar - and that's a good thing. Nice pick, Jeff

Smooth, sexy two-pass shave before going out tonight w/ my gal. Looking slick, with a handful of grease in my hair.

Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Aramis EDT

Wow, what a nice shave this morning. I need to use Speick cream more often, because not only it smells and lathers fantastic, the skincare is so soothing and comfort giving.

@Kaveh Thanks, my friend! Corinne is my most precious treasure--I never thought I would ever get married in all my life. She is also beautiful in the heart and personality! :love008:love008:love008:love008:love008

 

Good Saturday morning all...

Feist & Co. Luna Deluxe 5/8
'66 Slim Adjustable (s) w/Astra (2)
Arko Limon shave cream
Thayers Original WH w/aloe
Anherb AS gel

Second weekend of my straight attempts...worked on the strop and I think I was able to detect that particular sound that means I'm am doing it correctly, but not as consistently as I would like...I was able to do an almost full WTG pass and started to attempt across but decided to that discretion was the better part of valor after a couple of close calls and one nick...finished the shave with the adjustable and ended up with a decent shave...I chose the Arko as a result of a recent thread and was glad I did...

Saturday

Omega Boar
Slant w/ feather
TSD coconut SS
Speick AS splash

I had a slant before but this was the first use in 6 months. Harsh shave but I have to blame it on the feather. Tomorrow should be much better. Very aggressive but only a couple weepers. Overall a great shave but wasnt comfortable at all

Nice on the Aramis, Jeff.

I melt VHD Gyclerin soap and add a few sprays of that lovely juice to it before re-hardens in a bowl - or empty Aramis deodorant stick

If you can't find CeraVe Lotion in your area, I'm going to send you some. You can do better than Lubiderm, baby.
