Well said. I went with the wife to two stores and sat in the car with our daughter who fell asleep. People were crazy and rude, and this from a guy born and raised in Jersey. I'm staying home for the rest of the day, to hell with it.

Omega Wooden Handle
Ming Shi/Rapira day 2
Barbon SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Barbon AS
JHL Cologne

A pretty good and smooth shave this morning, although I had to rush it a little. The Barbon cream is awesome - it smells really nice, and in many ways it reminds me of Musgo Real. The lather is super-rich, and it leaves the skin feeling very CLEAN. The corresponding aftershave is one of my favorites - Madame likes it on me. :biggrin:

 

Saturday, November 26. Good Morning!

Going to be on a MWF & Floid Blue diet for a few days breaking in a new brush. I know the Floid Blue has absolutely nothing to do with breaking in a new brush, but I just love it, especially after a MWF shave. I really like this brush.

Morning Coffee: Hills Brothers Original Blend
Prep: Wash face with Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Schick G1
Blade: Schick
Soap: MWF
Brush: Semogue 2011 LE #49
Scuttle: Dirty Bird 1.5
Post: Cold water rinse followed by some Floid Blue



Have a GREAT day.

 

Saturday - it's the weekend! Time for the SEs.

Prep: 30 minute marinade with TSD ISZ PSB, hot shower, soak brush
CD: Jars of Clay ~ Furthermore: From the Studio
Coffee: Home roasted, fresh ground Ethiopia Illubabor, BLACK
Cream: TOBS Avocado
Brush: Omega 49, the RED one
Str8: Boker S.S. St. Louis, 3 passes
SE: Schick Injector E Model, touch up
Post: Cold water rinse, RazoRock rub down, cold water rinse #2, Cool Mist

Shave Rating: 4 Blades

A pretty good shave. No blood is always a plus!

This batch of coffee spent just a tad too much time in the roaster. Not bad, but not as flavorful as with a lighter roast. Note to self: 30 seconds into second crack.

Saturdays's Shower and Shave.
I start each day with a long hot shower.
I choose my Parker Badger for the lathering task today.
Soap cream choice today was Viking .
Afterwards I had a warm water rinse, then a refreshing cold water splashes.
After an extraordinary DFS, I splashed on Ogalla Bay Rum.

Everyone have a great Saturday

 

Saturday 26 November

Well I wanted to give the CO Bigelow another shot with the recomendations that were offered to me.

Starbucks, Italian Roast, Black
Proraso preshave balm
C.O. Bigelow SC
Berkley 46, face lather
Gillette Milord, w/ Gillette 7O'Clock Super Platinum Black (D5)
Alcolado Glacial and Proraso ASB

Well I just wanted you all to know that I listened to everyones comments and gave the Bigelow another shot. I let the brush soak, but I only gave it light shake, so the brush was very wet. I used the same amount of Bigelow, and even face lathered. I dipped the brush about three times to keep it very wet, and I was rewarded with some pretty decent lather. I guess I will have to keep using it, it wasn't bad. Not as good as the Palmolive menthol, but very good.

I also pulled out one of the original Duckies for good luck like Johnny suggested (see, I listened to your experience).
Still going to have to try the mug lathering after that cella pictorial.

With that I present, the triumphant return of the ducky (yesterdays was only so-so).

 

Saturday, November 26th

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: Rudy Vey Beehive (D01 Knot)
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: DR Harris Arlington
A/S: DR Harris Marlborough

It has been a little while since I last used DR Harris soap and I had forgotten just how nice it is. The Rudy Vey brush ginned up a nice creamy lather and I enjoyed an excellent shave. The Harris Marlborough aftershave, a favorite, was the cherry on the sundae.

 

Saturday

Razor: Twinplex Sales 5/8
Brush: Altesse Badger
Cream: Pacific Natural Shave Cream
A/S: Master Bay Rum
EDT: Drakkar Noir

Great shave using a straight razor that I took from the Grab Bag as well as cream I also took from the Box! Great lather followed by a very smooth shave from the new razor. The Master Bay Rum and Drakkar Noir topped off a great shave! Sorry if the picture isn't that hot.
