SoS Mar 2 - 8

Sunday:

Omega Silvertip
Lord Super/new Derby
Godrej Menthol Mist S/C
Anherb A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Chabrawichi 555 cologne

I am sooooooo smooth now, thanks to my Lord Super/Derby combination. I did 3 long, slow passes, and with each pass, the Godrej Menthol Mist cream felt colder and colder--I LOVE it!

 

3/8

1919 valet auto strop
valet blade (12)
williams soap
ever ready horsehair brush, black bakelite/brown wood handle

dickinsons witch hazel

old spice fresh




this valet blade is no more. still though, 12 shaves out of what was a completely dull blade that i made useable is pretty darn good

 

bravo good sir..

 

Good Sunday morning...

Wald Es-Ese 5/8 and '58 Tech w/Dorco 301(5)
Noxema SC
Thayers Original WH w/aloe
Anherb ASB

First attempt with the straight, did cheeks and part of the neck WTG, then finished first pass and completed the job with the Tech. I'm trying to get a feel for the straight so I'm not rushing it. I like the Noxema and understand the buzz about it. Not a BBS, but very good shave.

Saturday

Hot shower + hot towels
EJ BBB
Gillette SS -66
Astra Superior
TOBS Eton College
Cold towels
Nivea A/S balm

Due to some stomach problems I was kept home instead of going out camping. So the whole "shave in the wood" thing got away from me
However tried the Superspeed. Astra wasn't the best choice of blade with that razor for me. Used the same setup today(sunday) and got a similar result. Will try a different blade tomorrow.
