It is mild and very light. It was also the first time using a Super Max Blade. Unfortunately, I did not like the blade. Still a close shave, and the Tabac scent filled the room. Happy Friday!
~~Pirate Friday~~ A long hot shower. Prepped with Johnson Baby Oil. Parker Badger whipped a mound of Pirates Cove Bay Rum Ginger. The razor of choice was a Gillette Fat Boy dailed up to #7. Blade of choice was a Trig, I think this blade neds to walk the plank. I followed with a splash of Ogalla Bay Rum w/ peppercorns. Ah matey the shave results were good.

Almost forgot to post my shave! Friday, May 06, 2011 Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Razor: Jaggerooney Blade: Astra Superior Platinum Brush: Vulfix 2006 Pure Badger Cream: TOBS Avocado A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, 4711 Splash

Saturday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Derby day 3 Musgo Real SC :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008 Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Musgo Real Classic AS :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008 Aramis EDT :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008 For the 1st time ever, I mug-lathered the Musgo cream, and it worked beautifully. The reason I did that is because of the consistency. This particular tube's cream is a little harder and stiffer, because of the fact that this brand is partially hand-made, so some tubes have a softer cream than others. I really enjoyed the shave.
Saturday, May 07, 2011 Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Razor: 1967 Gillette Slim Adjustable Blade: Astra Superior Platinum Brush: Vulfix VS/5 Boar Soap: Proraso Classic A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Proraso Splash Kind of an "old timey" Saturday shave this morning--very refreshing. I love my Slims and should use them more often. Back in the day, when I was just starting to shave, I progressed from a Tech to a SuperSpeed, and finally to a Slim. However, I really didn't know what I was doing and was very happy to get a shave that, today, I would consider barely acceptable. I used Rise canned goo, because I thought canned goo was a very "cutting edge" (sorry about that) product. My dad wisely would have nothing to do with the goo.
Saturday - it's the weekend! :happy069 Time for the SEs!! Prep: 30 minute marinade with TSD ISZ PSB, hone and strop str8, hot shower, soak brush Coffee: Home roasted, fresh ground Rwanda, BLACK Hone: Duro Strop: VB 2" Black latigo/linen Soap: TSD Florida Water Type Brush: Mohawk 3-338 Str8: Boker Red Injun, 3+ passes Post: Cold water rinse, RazoRock rub down, ice water splash, SJ Unforgivable 'Stache Wax: Steve's Own Shave Rating: 5 Blades One of the better st8 shaves I've had in a while. Close, comfortable, smooth all the way 'round. And still only using the str8 with the dominate hand for the entire shave! I've found that lather from a soap can smell a bit different from the scent that comes off the puck. The TSD Florida Water Type is one of those soap scents that I'm a little indifferent to as I smell the puck. Today, though, for what ever reason, the scent from the lather just hit me as being the perfect scent for this shave.
