Merkur 45 Gillette 7OC Super Plat (Russian Blue) MYCarver Chubby 24mm Finest Ingrams SC Alum Superior 70 (Boosted) Bay Rum The light plastic razor with the Russian version of the 7OC Super Plat did an outstanding job this morning. Very nice cooling from the Ingram SC and Boosted Superior 70. The only thing I didn't care for was the slight scent change with the addition of menthol. It seemed to overpower the light scent of the Superior 70. Overall a very nice shave.

Monday's Shave Hot Shower Arko SS Omega 10029 1954-58 Eversharp Schick I2 Long's/Personna (Day4) Arko Nem moisturizer/Arko Aqua AS PeReJa Limon Colonia 2 Pass perfection... This is day4 on this blade and each day is better than the one before and the first day was great...The last blade was great on Day7, but I wanted to give my razor it's weekly tooth-brushing...And with injectors you leave the blade in...so you want to change it after brushing all over it...I think with this one I might want to see how far it will continue before I notice any tug... Who knows...maybe these are 10, or 11 day blades...with my present stock-pile that would allow me to live 50 percent longer before I run out...LOL...

Auto Strop U.S. Army Issue Turkish H.H. Brush #6 Nivea Shave Cream Pinaud Clubman A/S Lotion Gentelman, I must elaborate on this shave ! First off me and David aka "nubskillz" had a little razor swap late last month, and this is one of the prize razors I received. This Auto Strop razor is Original, before Gillette bought them out and gave it the name of Valet, this is a serial numbered Army issue razor. I haven't shaved sense last Friday and had a very thick stubble/short beard, whipped up a lather and went at it. Honestly I couldn't believe the results after the first pass, I had very little stubble left and was in disbelief, till I looked in the sink at all the hair I had just wiped off. Proceeded with a second pass and was done ! I honestly have never gotten that close of a shave in two passes with that much growth with any razor. These Original Auto Strop's honestly shave much better than the Valet's do. Two passes to a true BBS Shave ! Zero irritation with a Feather Blade on its third shave, and yes I did strop it with the stropper six times. This is an amazing razor to say the least! Here is a link of this razor, I don't have the little outfit shown here, but David did send it to me with an Original Auto Strop leather covered wooden box. http://www.stropper.com/home/stropp...&select2=&select3=&select4=&select5=&select6= This made my Day !

A little on the mild side as far as aggressiveness, but nice over all. the 404 really tore into the croap, what a great face latherer! I'll definitely order the 444 again when I get low, just need to plan three weeks in advance!
