Shave Of The Day - May 3rd, 2011 Hot Shower Vintage Ever-Ready Badger "The Butterscotch Beauty" Arko Cream ~ Commando Scent Lord L6 Razor Rapira Platinum Lux Blade ~ Day 4 Thayers Witch Hazel/Osage Rub Blend Aqau Velva Original Sport :freezing Arko creams, great price/performance, but the scents on all that I have tried are just so, IDK, kinda generic and boring IMO. Now on the other hand, the Aqua Velva Original Sport is just a great splash, and I would like to locate a couple of more bottles to stockpile. Another DFS 2 pass plus touch up, work night shave. 3.5 blades

Merkur Futur 6 Voskhod (1) Rooney 3/2 Super TOBS Avocado Alum Superior 70 Bay Rum Thought I would dial the Futur up to 6 just for the fun of it. I managed a good shave albeit with a few weepers and a bit more irritation then normal. I think 4 to 4.5 is about the right range for me with this razor. Have a good day all.

Thursday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/new Derby Proraso Wheat Germ SC :love008 :love008 :love008 :freezing Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Osage Rub AS :love008 :love008 :anifrozen :anifrozen Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui EDT I can never understand why the Proraso cream in the red tube was discontinued when it's so good. The scent is so nice, the lather is a pleasure to work with, and the skincare is a million times better than the green tube version. The menthol effect is lighter than the green Proraso, but it's still definitely there. The Osage Rub is a delightfully cold end to a great shave!
1940s British Rocket Red Israeli SOC Boar MWF Proraso Preshave (white) DR Harris Marloborough Splash The first shave in a few days...Very welcome and very nice! I am tending to like the MWF soap. It is super easy to get a great lather from, and it smells great...Like warm milk and honey!
