SoS Nov 12 - 18 2007

Let me know when you get tired of it. I need one for home.

 

Notgonnahappen!

But I could use a chopstick box if you make it to the 100 yen store again. ::

 

I'll see what they got and I'll look for some more interesting bowls while I'm there.

 

2007.11.13 Shave of the Day

Shave
Razor: Feather Artist Club DX Japanese Style Non-Folding Razor ACD-N
Razor Blades: Feather Professional Blades for Feather ACD-N
Razor: Gillette TTO 1970 Gold Plated, Long Black Handled Super Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor
Razor Blades: Panda Stainless Steel Double Edged Razor Blades
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn Edwin Jagger Made Small Best Badger Brush
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest
Shave Cream/Soap: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Shave Cream
Technique: WTG (Feather)/WTG (DE)/Cleanup (ATG)
Post Shave
Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc
Cologne: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Men's Cologne

Result: 4.6/5.0 Went ATG with the Feather ACD-N under the chin line. Risky because it's a good way to get an ingrown it shaves so close. So far, so good. BBS all the way. The Tabac cream as you know is strong smelling but very good performer. I like the smell so it's not an issue. I changed the pre shave prep a little by doing a full lather on my face with a brush. Before, I was just putting it on with my wetted hands. It seemed to work better that way. I made the mistake of putting a little oil on my face in the shower yesterday and it clogged a pore badly. Now I remember why I don't put oil on my face.
