SoS: November 7-13 2011

Sunday

Razos: Kraut & Dohnal 9/16
Brush: Altesse Badger
Soap: Col Conk Lime
A/S: Master Bay Rum
EDT: Drakkar Noir

Nice Sunday shave! Beard was light because my shave yesterday was so close, so the Kraut and Dohnal was a good choice.

 

Grafton, Merkur Silvertip, Merkur Futur, Voskhod blade, Tet-A-Tet EDT
Nice breeze with 65 F sunshine day after a cool night; weather forcasted to be high of 70 F with 50 F
at night for the next week.

 

Sunday's Shower and Shave
Hot Shower
LuJin Badger
Benton Clay Soap(sample)
Gillette SS Black Handle
Cold water splash and Thayer's Witch Hazel

I whipped mounds of lather rich and thick. This morning's shave an extraordinary.

 

Saturday:

Nuka cream
TGN synthetic knot in acrylic handle
Krona
Ladas day 3
alum, witch hazel, TSD ISZ

Sunday:
VDH luxury
Padauk wood brush with black badger knot
gunmetal Weishi
Zorrik Super Platinum
alum, witch hazel
osage rub
Alcolado Glacial

The Zorrik Super Platinum is an interesting blade as I have never seen this variety of Zorrik online and the blade is marked made in Bangladesh instead of India. Dunno, but it worked well enough for shave 1.

 

Why thank you. I believe I will have a couple myself tonight.
I just got word that we hit full load and they want to come back in to break down the equipment, so I will finish tonight and can go home tomorrow.

Any place I can sit down and plug in my computer is pretty much home at this point. Carry my own printer, scanner, and
wireless connection. I have set up my equipment on a plank held up by two oil cans, while sitting on a pelican case.

 

I have that exact same coffe mug, got it about 15 or so years ago as a parting gift from a company I worked at. Still in rotation.

 

Lazy Sunday afternoon shave:

Brush: DoRosso super silvertip
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89L
Blade: Lord Cool, 2
Cream: Taylor's Avocado (got this for my wife, but had to try it)
Toner: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel
A/S: Speick aftershave splash

BBS without even trying! Great lather and moisture properties from the Avocado, though I'm not wild about the scent. It's grassy, but not in that good way like Musgo, and it really hangs on for some time too. I don't hate it by any means, just not crazy about it. Performance wise, it's top notch and she likes it too!

 

Sunday 13 November

I can't decide whether to call this "the last round up" or "Ducky's last ride".
This will be my last night shift shave for this job and hopefully for awhile. So its ducky's last ride with me, its into my daughters toybox after that.

Hot shower
Palmolive stick
Omega boar travel brush, face lather
Gillette Milord, with Gillette 7O'Clock super platinum Blue (D5 or 6)
Alcolado Glacial and Nivea Sensitive

I got called in a bit early tonight as we are finished, so I gonna break down the equipment and travel home soon. A quick two pass, DFS tonight. Boy that palmolive stick is good.
Ducky says good night, and good luck

 

You could be your very own Budweiser Commercial!

 

I don't even know how log it's been around. I think 87 for some reason. I gave it today's slot amd thought it wold be humorous in my pic.

Thanx for noticing and enjoy yours!

 

Sunday!

Hot Shower
Green Marvy Mug
Omega Pro Boar
Mem Olive Cream + 1/2 pump KMF
Lord L6
Gillette Blueu Extra (4)
Warm Water Rinse
Victoria's Secret "Appletini" Body Lotion

What a relaxing Sunday, drinks on the lanai, games with Jeff and weather in the low 70's. Plus a fantastic shave to round out the day. It just really doesn't get any better than this ... Jeff didn't want any of the Mem to go to waste so he put it to good use.

 

Well in that case, I would call it ducky bites the dust.

Sunday

1932 Gillette Tech
Red Personna
Penworks Finest
MEM (Regular...my favorite SC)
DR Harris AS

I know I jumped off the TTO bandagon a day early, but I really wanted to try the tech I got last week. Unfortunately it didn't shave as well as I had hoped. My only 3-piece is my Muhle and so I had some decent hopes for this one. Unkown to me earlier, there seems to be an odd blade gapissue where it seems the blade comes out farther on one side than the other...though I think it is an issue with the bottom plate of the head. Even though there was this issue, I still enjoyed the MEM cream! I sikmply LOVE that stuff and I wish I had a giant tube of it like I do the MEM olive.

 

Man those I2's look like a late 50's-early 60's exotic sports car...
"If Aston-Martin made a razor..."....lol
