Kent BK4 Fatboy w/ feather Palmolive moisturizing SC Skin Bracer Cool Blue Not impressed with the Skin Bracer. Face was moisturizing until the AS? Not much menthol either Worth a buck though!
Saturday... Razor: '68 Slim @6 Blade: '83 Gillette Platinum-Plus (NOS) day 2 Cream: KMF Unscented A/S: Clubman bay rum A great shave indeed, but I don't think the Slim gives as good a shave as the Red tip with this blade. Not without venturing into the danger sone of 7-8-9. I may give 7 a try tomorrow.
Saturday...prior to dinner at one of our favorite haunts: EJ Chatsworth / Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp (green box) Plisson 24 HMW Castle Forbes Lavender cream Bourbon Parfums EdC; Castle Forbes Lavender Balm Knize Forest The Gillette Permasharp/Chatsworth combination proved to be very challenging. This was shave #1 for the Permasharp, and it seemed extremely sharp, particularly in the Chatsworth. The CF cream didn't seem to help much. Although it produced a good lather, I wasn't at all satisfied with its lubricity.

Saturday 3/28 Ever Ready T100 Boar IK 6/8 Wostenholm Celebrated IXL LH Super Adj. 7OCB Thayer's A/F Original Sp. Floid Mild Result: First shave with the Wostie since I got it back from re-honing (actually honing it sharper). Much better shave with it this time around, although I definitely still need a lot of work on my technique. I'm just not getting it yet... Not really digging the Sp. Floid, either....first time with that though, so it's too soon to pass final judgement...

Tabac Shower Merkur Long Astra Superior C A&D E Pure Wilkinson SS Oldspice AS Tabac Finish. Wilkinson Sword SS is unbelievably well-scented. Suddenly I'm back into heavier razors - not light ones. So I love my Merkur LH and HD and probably will appropriate a 38C.
Sunday: Omega Silvertip Ming Shi TTO/Sharp day 2 Musgo Real S/C Tabiano A/S gel Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Chabrawichi 555 cologne A quick shave this morning that actually turned out to be very smooth, and nice. The Ming Shi knows its way over my face very well by know!
