Another great shave today.The Semogue brush is a nice discovery.I "played" with it yesterday and today performed really good.I have to wait for a couple days more to see how it reaches its top performance.Ted Pellas blades are also good.Today I felt it smoother than yesterday.And TSD shaving cream is,as I already knew, a very good cream.I like how it produces lather and the Vetiver scent is sooo nice!!!

Woke up late yesterday so didn't have time to shave so I was really looking forward to this morning and it didn't disappoint. Nice BBS shave. 1st time to use everything but the MWF. Went a little crazy last night and made up some concoctions that turned out pretty good. The aftershave needs a little more menthol and less witch hazel but still nice.

Those Tweezerman brushes looks good for the price (15 to 20 bucks?)

Jueves // 21/05/09

Pre
Hot Shower

Shave
Bic Disposable (Rare version [not sensitive], according to Kaveh)
Shavemac 177
MWF Shaving Soap

Result:

Second day using the new shavemac brush, and I have to say, it is quite comfortable. The disposables are much gentler than the merkurs, and I have been one-passing and going easy on my face. A good shave today.

Kaveh: The MWF isn't as moisturizing as I once thought. I had used a balm that day, and that was where the extra smoothness had came from.
