    #6 Turkish Horsehair

    Tibet Forest Fresh SC :love029: :love029: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:
    444 AS Balsam/Osage Rub :love029: :love029: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Obsession for Men EDT

    So much rich lather from the Tibet cream with a nice scent, and a good cooling effect. The 444/Osage Rub combination is enough to freeze your face off. This new Turkish horsehair brush is amazing - it really drives the lather into your face. This shave was a pleasure from start to finish. ;) :D

    First shave with a Shick Injector. Read so many good reports I just had to try it out! I had a thouroughly enjoyable shave an ended up just shy of a BBS. But that is a wonderful little shaver! I immediately fell in love. There is no resisting.

    No headshave today but I got a great 2 pass BBS shave from the R41.I have a few more blades to try with the R41 but so for Astra SP's seem to work the best for me.I may just forget about the other blades and stick with the Astra's in this razor.

    Finally home.
    Mem shave Cream
    Gem Micromatic, with Gem SS blade
    Simpsons Berkley 46, face lather
    Boosters splash, and Proraso ASB

    This was a three pass and one little bit of touchup on the jawline. Very nice shave, DFS++.
    This is the first time I have tried the Mem shave cream, it came highly recomended from a number of users. It doesn't have a detectable scent to me, it lathers very easily, and had nice glide. Left the face feeling good. I think I am going to take this on the road with me next week.

    Have a great weekend.
