    2007.11.14 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: Kiss My Face Unscented Shave Cream (pre shave lather)
    Shave Cream/Soap: Floris London J.F. Conditioning Shave Cream (Citrus Scent)
    Technique: (Feather WTG/ATG)/(DE XTG/Cleanup)
    Post Shave
    Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave w/2 drops Pen Herb Olbas Oil
    Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc

    Result: 4.5/4.6 The Floris J.F. cream is a sample I got from Vintage Blades LLC when I bought something else. I opened up the container and the cream had dried out. No worries mate. Dug some out, put it into the bowl, add water and good as new. Maybe even better. Almost like it had been cured. I put a couple of drops of water into the container to soften it up a bit for next time. There is a reason why I like the Floris creams almost as much as the C&E creams and have them on my wish list. I put a couple of drops of Olbas Oil with the Thayers WH aftershave in my hand before splashing on. Froze my face is what it did. A little goes a long way. I'm thinking of buying a bottle of Thayers WH aftershave and adding some Olbas Oil right to the bottle to make a minty version for myself.

    The BEST Patchouli EdT I have smelled! The first time I smelled this I thought I was back in a 60’s head shop complete with a bead curtain and Patchouli incense. Of course I was only there to look at the tobacco accessories and novelties.


    Have an outstanding day!

    Yes it is.

    YMMV, but for me it's great stuff. Patchouli with undertones of orange and vanilla, and amber on the drydown. It lasts on me for the entire day. If you are old enough to remember the shops where the smoke from the "incense" rolled out the door when you went in, this is that kind of Patchouli. So if you are not ready for the in-your-face smell of a head shop :eek: it might not be for you. :cool:

    2007.11.15 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: Merkur 700 Futur Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor Satin
    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: Wars Shave Cream (pre shave lather)
    Shave Cream/Soap: Floris London Elite Conditioning Shave Cream (Woody Scent) Gone
    Technique: (Feather WTG/ATG)/(DE XTG/Cleanup)
    Post Shave
    Styptic: Tulumba Alum Block
    Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave
    Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc

    Result: 4.5/5.0 Wasn't going to take chances with this one and used an alum block. Putting together the Feather ACD-N with the Merkur Futur would either kill me or plane my face to the smoothness of glass. I had the Futur dialed to 4. Not too aggressive. After I used the ACD-N though it was kind of anti-climatic. The Futur didn't have much to cut. I thought I heard a tiny little voice whining in frustration. "Where's the whiskers!" So, by using light glides, I was able to dispense with any stubborn stubble post haste. Cleanup was a breeze and learning how to do no pressure with the ACD-N has helped with the no pressure that the Futur requires.
