Wednesday 28 March

Godrej Menthol Mist SC
Omega Boar Travel Brush, face lather
EJ89 with Rapira Platinum Lux blade
Alcolado Glacial splash, and Arko Cool ASB

This was a three pass, and a quick touch up on the jawline, DFS. The EJ89 and the rapira seem to be working nice togther, but its not setting the world on fire. After I typed up yesterdays shave, I realized that I could actually feel the Arko Cool ASB's menthol, but I had a shave with absolutely no other menthol in it. That is the first time I actually noticed it, so it must be very light, still have not figured out the smell. I used the Menthol Mist and the Alcolado Glacial this morning since I felt a bit sluggish getting up today. That was a nice wakeup, another smooth and cool shave.

Have a great day.

 

Wednesday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Shark day 6
Gillette Menthol SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Alt Innsbruck AS
Obsession For Men EDT

I cannot get over how good this European version of Gillette Menthol is - the scent is very nice, the lather is a pleasure to work with, and it has a fantastic cooling sensation. Not as strong as Palmolive Menthol or Godrej Menthol Mist, but still very strong. It also leaves my skin feeling well cared-for. I cannot say enough good things about the Alt Innsbruck!

Wednesday



Feather Injector
Schick
The Manchurian
DVH
Mandom

I woke up this morning thinking I was scheduled for a run, but it turned out to be for tomorrow...so I enjoyed a nice shave instead.this was the second shave for the chick, but it is the second shave of extremely heavy growth, so I think the blade is going to retire early. The DVH performed amazingly! I haven't used it in a while and I forgot jut how great the scent is. The Mandom left my face feeling great, and I am happy with this DFS+!!

Have a great day everyone!

 

Happy Humpday!

VDH Glyercin
little pure badger
Gem 1912 w/ Gem blade
warm+cold hydro splash
Nivea Moisture Cream

Today was a quick single pass to try out my first SE that wasn't an injector; a Gem 1912 SharpSpine PIF'd me. The potential is there, but I think there's a bit of learning I need to do with this razor - I noticed that the blade angle was not as forgiving as my trusty 'ol TTO DE's - I'm looking forward to figuring this baby out!

Aaron, that Nivea Energy looks interesting. Is it mentholated? It looks like it might be similar to the AV Ice Blue. (?) I'll have to see if it's available locally and give it a try. Great post BTW!
