**-a site on here relative to men listed EMJ Cedarwood as their #10 men's deodorant. Sandalwood wasn't on the list. Guess I'll try the C-wood sometime to see what's going on. I like the S-wood a lot, though.

 

Thank you Doug. I hope you have a great week as well.

Nice and easy menthol Monday shave this morning. It's been a while since I've used Proraso White. It's a solid performer, not a top tier soap, but certainly easy to use and quite effective. The I1 injector worked great as well. Overall a nice shave and a good way to start the week.

Have a great day!

 

Happy Monday!!

Hello TSD Today's shave:



- CRSW "Spiced Amber"
- Maggard 22mm
- Gold Dollar 208
- The Body Shop Arber ASB

Very nice and smooth shave. This Gold Dollar, modified and professionally honed in the UK, is one of my least expensive (I try to avoid the term cheapest) razors, nonetheless one of my best shavers. I really enjoy using it. Almost BBS result today, it still takes a little more effort though than a shave with one of my DE razors or the Feather Shavette.

 

SOTD: Vintage Wade & Butcher 7/8," Semogue boar brush, Crowne & Crane "Cognac & Cubans" tallow soap and matching aftershave balm. Slick soap performance with a slightly smokey, sweet scent. Three pass BBS results.

Razor:Hibco SHD - 22
Blade: Gillettte 7o`clock (1)
Brush: VDH Badger
Pre Shave: Homemade
A/S: Aqua Velva AS/ Nivea Balm
Newspaper Date: Nov. 10,1943

A new razor, which presents several learning curves, type of blade, angle , pressure and pilot skill. I did pretty good on most, pilot skill and angle were my challenges. The angle didn`t take long but the ability to maintain the correct angle was a little difficult, a few small nicks here and there weren't hard to deal with. Three passes were pretty straight forward, with a little clean up. 1st, WTG. 2nd, ATG/XTG and finally a WTG with great agility and then a small amount of clean up. Looking forward to learning this razor, it feels good and well balanced in my hand. Ending up with close to a BBS shave. Good shaves to all and God Bless.
