    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Grapefruit
    Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger
    Schick J-2
    Personna Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Barbasol Brisk AS

    The TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick J-2 razor and a Personna Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Barbasol Brisk after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Prep - Shower / Pre-lather / 3 min steam towel (and a nice glass of 12 year old Singleton)
    Razor - Gillette New Long Comb
    Blade - Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow (#3)
    Brush - Omega 20106
    Soap - Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna (with plenty of glycerine!)
    After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
    Result - BBS

    Been a while since I used the New LC, as it's been known to bite, but the Yellow blade has been so smooth that I knew it wasn't going to be an issue. The result was so good that I couldn't even see stubble in the 10x mirror. It's ridiculous how good a shave I get in problem areas, with the LC.

    Last nights shave was close, while not uncomfortable, it was not as comfortable as usual given the very forgiving feather popular razor I used. The fault was mine as I did to much buffing and touching up.

    Last nights set up.
    -feather popular razor
    -astra sp (2)
    -nivea sensitive cream
    -omega syntex brush
    -Gabels lilac aftershave
    -aveeno fragrance free aftershave lotion.

    The shave was OK, the highlight was my wife saying I smelled nice and asking what I was wearing.

    I've got a great "Antique Shave" planned for Friday:

    Nivea Facial Wash
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Derby day 7
    Vintage Colgate Shaving Stick :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Booster Polar Ice AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055: :love055:
    Aramis EdT

    Once again, no menthol stuff because I'm going to be shaving extra old-school. This Colgate stick is from a seller in Sweden, (it may even have been made there) and a very nice young gentleman hooked me up with this seller so I was able to buy it. The stick smells so traditional and nice, it gives rich, stable lather which is so easy to whip up, and the skincare is pretty good as well. The Lubriderm moisturizer does an excellent job of hydrating and protecting sensitive skin - in fact a lot of dermatologists recommend it. Don't let the name Polar Ice fool you, there ain't no cooling effect from it whatsoever, but I still love it. The Derby blade is still working like a champ. ;) :D

    I wish everyone a fantastic weekend in advance! :)

    Hope things get better soon Patrick. Losing the use of my right hand for 6 weeks was a serious PITA. I can't imagine having trouble with both.

    I really like the polar Ice too. I just wish the scent would last longer than 5 mins on me.

    Yes you can for sure tell the weather better than those clowns on the TV can. About the only time they get it right is when they walk outside into the rain.

    If I wear it alone it lasts a while, but at least it doesn't foul up the scent of an eau de toilette or a cologne.

    I've been wanting to try Tabac for quite sometime but really didn't need anymore soaps or creams. Earlier this week I found the Tabac refill stick on Amazon for $9.45 w/free shipping so I bought it. (I swear this will be my last purchase for a while). I really like the scent and look forward to using it for tomorrow's SOTD. Here's my game plan for 5/22/15...........

    Tabac Stick (face lathered) w/Semogue Owner's Club Boar
    40's Super Speed w/7 o'clock Black (6th shave and blade was strong at 5)
    Witch Hazel followed by Nivea Sensitive Balm
    Aqua Velva Classic (I think it will pair well w/the Tabac)

    I've heard many great things about Tabac and look forward to using...................
