    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Lavender
    Jayaruh #30RS Silver Tip
    Schick Krona
    Personna Blue Super Stainless
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Speick After Shave

    This is the 131st documented shave with the TOBS Lavender. Going to use it until it is gone...

    The Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #30RS silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Krona razor with a Personna Blue Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I just finished a meandering 2,000 mile road trip bringing my son and his stuff home from his college graduation. It was a great trip but it's one drawback was it took me away from the Wedge SEs for a week. So tonight I picked up the Nordic Beauty to attack the two day old beard I'd been saving. The blade was the less sharp one I have and I think it needs a refresh but the outcome was great. :happy036:

    I tried out a sample of Sterling's Glacial Lemon Chill. It was cold and all but not for me. Glad samples are cheap. Any suggestions of favorites from Sterling fans for non-chill scents? :signs002:

    One thing about the wedges - I'm not sure that I've ever gotten a weeper when using one but I got one every shave on the trip with my black handled, early type E2. Back on the wedge train... :transport022:

    Hey wait a minute I just got into work it's not Monday yet. Sunday shave was an experiment.
    Soap... Henry Cavendish Himalayan
    Razor...schick karona
    Blade..Racer (3)
    Brush... Old Spice original
    Post shave... witch hazel and NAPCA as always.
    After shave... Avon Deep Woods.
    The Schick krona razor way too aggressive for me had to switch to my black beauty the racer razor blade is a great. Looks like the schick korona is going on eBay unless somebody wants it here.

    Good morning friends. Wonderful shave this morning with the Evahs, very well balanced razor and it's quite hefty. Smooth three pass shave routine ending in a dolphin smooth result with Speick shave cream paving the way and finishing off with an icy Glacial Lemon Chill balm for good measure. Enjoy your day guys. :smile :):
