SoS: Mar 22 - 28 2010

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Simpson's Ehsan
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Cream: Gada Cool Mint (Thanks Jeff)
A/S: Alt Innsbruck

I received the Gada Cool Mint Shaving cream in a trade from Crackstar (Jeff). I had never heard of Gada shaving cream before but it now has a place in my rotation. The Cool Mint is heavily mentholated and will make an excellent summer cream. A small strip of cream produced mounds of rich, slick and protective lather and I enjoyed an excellent shave with lingering cooling. The Alt Innsbruck added to the face freeze. Very Nice!

 

Tuesday:
Hot shower, used hair conditioner on face.
EveryReady best badger reknot
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
L2 Schick Injector, 6th shave with this Schick blade

This "Stick Schick" (It has a decorative gear shift knob on the end) is working out really well.

I love Williams. Won't claim it's absolutely the best, but it's really good.

Thanks for the info 'Hawk, I will be ordering some Draggon Noir soon and I'll pick up some Wilkinson's Shave Soap (Blue Bowl?) as well. They sound like a great combination. Where do you get the Malizia EDT?

 

Beautiful razor and very nice shot Chris!

Wednesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Goodfella/Elios day 2
Palmolive Cool-SC :anifrozen :love008
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Mennen Skin Bracer Original-AS
Acqua di Selva-Cologne

Once again, I froze my face, but I enjoyed doing it. As I keep saying, Palmolive Cool should be called Palmolive Frigid, because that's how strong the menthol is. What a great shave this morning!

 

Cariad Zest SO
VieLong badger
Bottega Verde SC
Captain folding with Feather professional
Myrsol Formula C AS

I think the Feather blades have not the quality as the original Kai blades.
The Myrsol Formula C has so much menthol. I would love to send it to my friend Jeff but it's not possible.

Perhaps one of our Spanish fellows here can send me some replenishment. I can't get enough of it.

Thanks. I've been wanting to try a Prima Klang for some time now. SRD put them on sale this month so I picked one up. I had a great shave with it. I really prefer hollow-ground razors as I seem to get a better angle with them on my ATG pass.
