SoS May 18-24 2009

24 May, Sunday
Merkur 11C w/ Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (Yellow pack)
Rooney 3/1 "Super"
Mühle Aloe Vera SS

The Mühle soap lathers beautifully. Slick, cushioning lather (not as cushioning as TOBS or GFT, but wetter and more lubricating). Unfortunately, I encountered a slight stinging while into my second pass. I'll probably give it a few more chance on account of the great lather.

One whole week of soaps! Thinking of a theme for next week—maybe GFT week since my order has arrived.

 

Sunday May 24

Preshave: GFT Sandalwood Skinfood
Brush: GFT Best Badger
Soap: T&H Luxury
Razor: 1908 Gillette Single Ring
Blade: Astra (day 2)
Aftershave: Nivea Cooling AS Balm
Cologne; Hugo Boss 'Hugo'

3rd shave with the 100 year old Gillette and I am liking it more and more. Got a really smooth result today thanks in part to the generous lather of the T&H soap.

Sunday: Lord Smart Razor / ASCO Orange Blade d4 / C.O. Bigelow SC / Omega 10065 Brush / M&L Florida Water Cologne

Another great shave from this combination. Now to have breakfast and go to church. What a day!

 

Sunday/Domingo

Before church.

Flare Tip Rocket with Continente blade(3rd shave)
Floid Shaving Cream
22mm finest badger knot from TGN
La Toja AS sample

Tomorrow Ill go back to SE.

 

Sunday:

Gorey's Chairman
Dovo Bismarck 5/8
Gada Cool Mint-SC
Anherb-AS conditioner
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer


Smooth as silk again--no need to wear fragrances today. Tomorrow, I'll transplant a Super Max into my Ming Shi to see how it performs.

 

Sunday:
Gillette Slim adjustable with Personna Red
Musgo Real cream, whipped up in my GTP scuttle with my own made Finest Badger in faux horn handle (sweet brush) - knot from TGN
444 Alum followed by cold water rinse
Trumper's sandalwood skin food
Trumper's Sandalwood cologne

Honestly, and I might be alone here, I didn't care much for the shave cream, my face was a bit burning afterwards, so I might be allergic to it.

Yeah Rudy,I have heard that before in creams with lanolin on it like Musgo has.Its a great cream but not for all sensitive kind of skins.

 

Rudy, Du bist nicht allein. Viele Kerle haben das mit Musgo erfahren. Es konnte vom Wollfett, oder von einer der anderen Zutaten sein. Mein Schwager gab mir seine Tube, weil es ihn schlecht verbrannte.

 

Sunday

• Soap:Tabac
• Brush: Golden Nib Knot in Ever-Ready handle
• Razor: 13/16 Modified Double Arrow
• Accessories: utter incompetence and naivety
• A/S: Thayers with peppermint EO followed by Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Pre
Hot Shower

Shave
Bic disposable
Shavemac 177
MWF Shaving Soap

Sunday 5/24

La Toja Shave Stick
6/8 Boker Edelweiss
Brummel A/S splash

Result: Another great shave! That Brummel A/S is really nice....look for my writeup in the Weekly Chat... (later this evening)

 

man,do you mean the spanish Brummel?I totally forgot that I can get it here!!!
how was La Toja stick?

 

I found my La Toja Stick--I'm using it tomorrow morning.......Woo-Hooooooooooo!!!!

 

das ist gut!!!

 

Sunday...after a MTB ride that was aborted 7 miles in due to lightening and hail...argh.

Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed with Gillette "Swede" Blade
Plisson 16
Tabac Soap
Alt Innsbruck AS; TSD Unscented Milk
Tabac AS Lotion

An odd combination for me today...it must be the MTB storm funk.

 

Merkur Slant
Iridium Super 9
Shavemac 177
Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender cream
Saint Charles Shave Lavender splash

 

Is the Brummel Spanish? I thought for some reason it was British...but yes, the one from Leon's Vintage Scent....I guess it makes sense that it is Spanish... The La Toja stick was everything I hoped it would be....I don't think I've had a lather so thick, dense, and creamy....very nice!

 

Oh yes, the La Toja stick is delightful--ok, no menthol, but still, a great scent and so much lather, so you can enjoy a wonderful shave!

 

have you come across a menthol shave stick? That would be very interesting, indeed!
