    It is amazing the quality of shave this Burham razor can deliver. It shaves as close as any single edge I've ever used.

    Thursday's Shave

    Hot Shower
    Arko Shave Stick/couple spritzes of Habit Rouge
    Omega 10029
    1954-58 Eversharp Schick I2
    Longs/Personna (Day4)
    Arko Nem moisturizer/Guerlain Habit Rouge Edt

    After I rubbed the wet shave stick around my face a few times, I had an impulse to sprey a couple spritzes of Habit Rouge on my face and then hitting it with my wet brush. Now I'm one of those who loves the smell of the Arko Shave Stick but I love Habit Rouge too..So when the Arko exploded into a rich mountain of luxurious Habit Rouge scented lather, I was in heaven...
    Today in one simple pass I had a great shave...but I still had a brush over-flowing with that great Habit Rouge scented lather so what could I do?? I had to relather and just for fun, do another pass...I had a ball and practiced J-Hooking, and razor buffing, and just enjoyed myself in general...
    Needless to say, the BBS was out-standing...Many hours later still out-standing...LOL

    Yesterday's evening shave was so nice, I noticed some tugging, and plan to touch up the razor today.

    Evelive shave gel as the pre-shave
    8/8 W&B restored by Glen
    Paddle strop
    Vie-Long horsehair brush
    Wilkinson Sword soap in a blue bowl
    Cold water splash

    Tried to face-lather Wilkinson soap over the gel. It works! The feeling is complex and very nice.
    Got the parcel from TSD store today! Cannot wait for all-TSD shave today!!!

    Hot Shower w/ Bay Rum Soap
    Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Merkur Long Progress(2.5 and touch up at 1)
    Vulfix 404
    Astra SP (2)
    Tabac SS
    Witch Hazel
    Alum
    Master Bay Rum w/ M-Bomb:freezing
    The MR GLO makes the progress a little slippery, but being able to dial down for light buffing is worth it. The 404 is finally starting to break in nicely and it just ate up the Tabac. I wasn't super wild about the scent of the Tabac when I first got it, but now its becoming a favorite!

    Friday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/Derby day 2
    Cerrus SC :love008 :love008 :love008 :freezing
    Gillette Intense Cooling AS Balsam :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing
    Thierry Mugler Angel Pour Homme EDT

    The Cerrus cream is very nice with a good and rich lather which is easy to work up, it has a great scent and some menthol cooling. The Gillette aftershave balsam is VERY cooling and smells fantastic, but it doesn't interefere with an eau de toilette. A super-nice shave today. ;) :D
