-Haven't used this razor in a while, forgot how much I like it.
-Got Head-Slick from my partner at work-the guy who started me on wet shaving. I do not shave my head so I never thought to try it. It's great stuff.
Very nice Menthol kick and it lathers like a rabid dog.

Blade - Gem PTFE Stainless
Brush - Copper Hat 22mm Silvertip in Ebony
Cream - Proraso Green tube
A/S - F/P Gel balm
Scent - Pinauds Bayrum

First shave ever with an se. Not good. 2 passes and nothing was being knocked down, poor angle I guess. Tried to wrap up with my Rolls but it was to late, the damage was done, 1 more pass was all I could take, so with a patchy burnt face it's off to work for the day. 1 out of 5. More Gem experimenting required.

 

So glad you like it!

Hang in there, Brad. You'll get it. I've found the biggest key is NO PRESSURE. "More Gem experimenting required." I love the attitude!

Tuesday, November 09, 2010

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Supermax Super Stainless
Brush: Simpson Colonel X2L
Soap: Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet (tallow formula)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Mr. Taylor Splash

First shave with a Supermax and, while not quite BBS, it was comfortable and quite acceptable. The Penhaligon soap, as usual, made a nice lather and the Mr. Taylor splash was a pleasant way to end the shave.
