Wednesday 10/22 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: TSD Coconut Lime Verbena
  [*]Razor: '48 Gillette Super Speed for face & '11 GEM Jr. Lather Catcher Style for head
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge DE & Ted Pella PTFE Coated SE
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner
  [*]EDT: SCS Very V EDT
  
  [*]Result: NOT a very fun shave today. Almost like I had never DE shave before. A few nicks on the right side of my neck and on my upper lip. And about 3 on the head. I just blew it. Too quick, too much pressure. Whatever I could do wrong I did it today. Now must wait a day or two before I can go for the BBS shave that I love. Still I feel fine and the Very V helps the bruised ego as well as the bruised face, neck and head.

English #16
Derby
Rooney 1/2 Super
TOBS Lavender
Nivea A/S Balm
Hugo Boss



Almost indentical to yesterday's shave, but with a different cream and a Derby instead of the Wilkinson -- big improvement. The #16 is an absolutely smokin' razor.

 

Rick, (blue) how was the #16?

I need to find a better way to specify between Ricks...

 

I reiterate:

 

Thursday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi/new Bic
Connaught Eucalyptus & Peppermint S/S
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Booster Mosswood A/S
Yves Saint-Laurent Pour Homme EDT

The Ming Shi/Bic blade combination is not for me--it causes this razor to be too aggressive.

Excellent

Thursday 10/23 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: TSD Sweetgrass
  [*]Razor: '11 GEM Jr Lather Catcher Style with 2 Piece handle
  [*]Blade: Ted Pella PTFE Coated SE (shave 2)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner
  [*]EDT: SCS Smoke and Beads
  
  [*]Result: Very nice and comfortable BBS shave today. No blood because I took my time and used very little pressure with the great long handled GEM Jr. The cinnamon scent of the Sweetgrass SC made this shave extra special. The Pella worked better today on shave 2 than yesterday with shave 1. Go figure.
