Thanks Rodd,those razors are really beautiful.

 

Friday am:
TOBS Sandalwood cream, whipped up in the GTP scuttle with my RV Finest with the nice faux horn handle
Slim Adjustable with 7 o'clock blade
444 alum followed by cold water rinse
Trumper's Sandalwood skin food

Teiste,I sent you a pm.

 

30 May, Saturday
Merkur Futur w/ Gillette Super Thin
Rooney 3/1 "Super"
T&H Trafalgar SC
GFT Extract of Limes Skin Food

The smell of Trafalgar lingers... It smells like gin and tonic, and together with the Limes Skin Food, I feel so refreshed.

 

Saturday

• Soap:p.160 tipo duro
• Brush: Golden Nib Knot in Ever-Ready handle
• Razor: 13/16 DA
• A/S: Thayers with peppermint EO followed by CVS Spice

 

SATURDAY.

Odd Tech
Greek BIC
Omega SS
1077 Boar
Master's &
Tabac EdT.

...

As fantastic as I find the scent of Master's Bay Rum to be, I don't think it's a very good splash all.

It simply doesn't hit. I don't know if it's low on alcohol or the Bay Oil in the ingredients is obstructing the burn and soothe. As far as I know alcohol kills oil, but I ain't no rocket scientist neither.

 

Saturday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/Derby day 2
Gada Cool Mint-SC
Arko Aqua-AS gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Acqua di Selva-cologne

No time to shave with my Dovo straight--I have to go to take my brother-in-law the airport, because he's going on a business trip. Still, an excellent shave if I consider how fast I did it.

 

Jeff, where is your BIL going, and what are you having him bring back for you??

 

He's going to Paris, and I don't expect him to bring anything back for me--I really have more than enough!

 

YEAH,enough to have your own wet shaving shop!!!! ENJOY IT ALL!!

 

Saturday: Unknown 3 piece razor / Asco Blade d2 / C.O. Bigelow SC / Rooney brush / M&L Florida Water Cologne

Another great shave from the unknown razor. Until I can find out who made it, I'm going to call it the NN3P = no name 3 piece. Sure do like it though.

 

Saturday/Sabado
Super Adjustable @ 9 with Wilkinson UK blade
Wilkinson shaving stick (another AMAZING shaving stick)
Mercadona grey badger brush
Williams Aqua Velva AS
Weleda ASB

The Wilkinson stick is another great find.After trying so many WONDERFUL sticks(some tallow based like Erasmic,Palmolive,Wilkinson..and other glycerin based like La Toja,Lea/Bea,Myrurgia...)I just wondering whats the point in spending money in expensier soaps and getting the same results...

 

Jeff has the worst case of SCAD. Everything else is under control - but the mention of a cream he hasn't heard of, and Ticky Tacky goes bananas.

Anecdote from Tonight:

At Boston's only afterhours club, to which we're going, Habibi, I ran into four Turks, not one of whom had heard of Blix but all of whom used Arko sticks.

I said, Arko, they go:

 

Teiste, is Winkinson's stick the same as the soap? I have the SS and it has a very nice cologne scent to it. As far as quality is concerned, it's so-so.

 

The Wilkinson soap in the blue bowl and the shave stick are not the same. The shave stick is much better than the bowl soap. Just my opinion.

 

The shave stick is tallow based with lanolin and works GREAT,much better than the bowl soap.Its another stick worthy to have it.

 

I thought they'd be different. Do they smell alike.

The SS has, IMO, one of the best scents in shaving.
