Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Booster Mosswood A/S
Yves Saint-Laurent Pour Homme EDT

I revisited the Gold-Dachs Spezial soap, and I'm glad I did, because it is magnificent-what a beautiful scent, what a lather, and it's so soothing. The Lord Super made the Zorrik feel gentle as a kitten, and made me UBER-BBS!

 

Tuesday

Merkur 25c open comb Feather day 1
Edge Eclipse Gel

Thayers Rose Witch Hazel

I have been using the Edge Gel for over 2 weeks with excellent results. It contains no parabens. Unbelievable combination using the open comb with a feather blade. Fantastic

Tuesday 10/14 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: SCS Tea Tree
  [*]Razor: 1910 FrankenGEM for face & head
  [*]Blade: GEM by Personna (shave 4)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy"s Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & SCS Savory Rose ASM
  [*]EDT: 4711 Cologne
  
  [*]Result: A perfectly enjoyable and comfortable BBS shave today. The FrankenGEM and Personna blade make quite a team. Along with great lather from SCS how could I not get a wonderful shave. Today I took a chance and did something different. I used a safety razor not a disposable or electric to shave my head. The GEM has a blade angle not unlike that of the Bic Sensitive I normally use. Got a very smooth BBS on the head too. And for day 4 not blood anywhere.

 

What is a FrankenGEM and how do you get 2-1/2 passes with a str8?

 

The 1/2 pass is just general cleanup. I wouldnt really consider it WTG or ATG

 

The Indigo Simian has the neatest toys!

 

Tuesday:

Merkur Futur / Gillette Swede blade
Simpson Tulip 2
Penhaligon's English Fern soap
Booster Mosswood AS; Clinique Post-Shave Healer
Penhaligon's English Fern EdT

The English Fern (old formula) soap is a favorite. Its performance is right up there with the best of the uppity English soaps, and the fragrance is very similar to the EdT. Fortunately, I stocked up a few months ago when rumors of the R-word were floating around...

nice setup, Boubi! Corinne loves the scent of Sienna, so if she'd smell it on you, I'd guarantee you a big kiss from her!

 

I cannot listen to music when I shave. The sound of whacked whiskers is all I need!
