Gillette Slim w/Derby
Kent BK4
GFT Coconut
TBS Razor Burn Relief

That Astra Super Platinum I used on my last shave really jacked me up. I'm going to have to skip shaving for 3-4 days...

 

Sorry to hear that, James - heal up soon, buddy! ::

 

ouffff, sorry to hear that, James. Just think how nice your next shave will be once you heal up!

 

Thanks for the condolences.

On a good note, the GFT Coconut provided ample protection for this mornings shave without making things worse. It was my first run with Trumpers.

Hope yall have a good weekend.

 

James, you are lucky, because GFT Coconut was very irritating to my skin, isn't that strange? The only GFT cream I can say I enjoyed a lot was the almond.

 

Yes, it is really strange how that works with shaving products. I'd been reading all week about Astra Super was just like Derbys. The shave went well, the blade seemed to slice through the whiskers easier, but the next day I had ingrowns and red spots under my chin.

I almost went with almond but decided on the coconut because of the lighter scent. I actually went to the store hoping for Taylor's Almond but they were out.

GFT Sandalwood Skin Food
GFT EdC

Going trough my GFT samples. Today I tried "GFT"; wonderfully "orangy", still exclusive. I could definitely consider ordering a "GFT" EdC. The SC samples would probably have lasted me 4 shaves, they lather like nothing else! I would have loved to have had "English Fern" among my samples. The only downside is that I used a tad too much pressure so I think I'll skip shaving tomorrow.

The Shaveden peppercorn shave soap
Drogeria and Alimentaria all natural white pepper
Vulfix badger brush
Boker 5/8 straight razor

I've been curious for a while, but today I had time.
I used my shaveDen peppercorn shave soap. It smells nice and I use it regularly, but it is missing some umph.
Today, I added a dash of white pepper to the lather bowl. I lathered as ussual, and applied the new mix. I let it sit as I stropped my blade.
My upper lip felt it the most. A nice warm tingle. I really enjoyed it. It didn't do anything for the shave. I don't know if it has any benefit or detriment to my skin, but it felt really nice. I wish I tried it earlier, it would have been nice for a cold winter morning.

 

Saturday:

Omega Silvertip
Parker 91R/Derby day 2
Blix Fresh S/C
Anherb A/S conditioner
Alt Innsbruck cologne

another great shave today--the Blix Fresh cream is rich in lather, has very good skincare, smells quite nice, in fact, it looks almost exactly like the Euro Classic Palmolive cream. It has a small amount of menthol in it, so after the shave, I magnified the cooling with Anherb, and Alt Innsbruck.
