    Friday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Cold Water Wash
    Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #206
    Pal Injecto-Matic
    Vintage Pal Hollow Ground
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Congratulations! As a father of three (1 boy, 2 girls) grown & on their own, my only advice is to enjoy the new arrival as he/she grows up. It goes by in a blur.

    Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic
    Bowl: Dollar Tree Salsa
    Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
    Blade: Personna red (UK pkg) (6)

    VDH Stainless blade
    Fine Classic brush
    Fume SS
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    M&L Florida Water cologne w/added menthol

    Moved the VDH blade to the 94r from the Variant and guess what? It worked very well and a fine shave was had. I'm liking these blades more and more. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Razor-1958 Gillette Fatboy
    Blade-Astra SP
    Brush-Simpson Pure Badger
    Soap-Sterling Gin & Tonic

    Always great to revisit the Fat Boy. This one, custom plated by Razorplate in black and white rhodium, is always great to use. I shaved on 6 and 7 today, not remembering my "go to" setting. The little Simpson is a nice little brush, one of their few that's reasonably priced. It really feels nice in the face. The Stirling soap lathers great. Not real sure where the "Gin & Tonic" name comes from. I don't get the connection to the scent other than lime. Another great, comfortable shave as I remember from the Fatty!

    I believe the combination of juniper and lemon/lime is where the 'Gin and Tonic' name comes from, Herm.
