My 1st shave with this Darugar cream, which comes from Iran. It has good lather, and skincare. The scent is very unusual, but not unpleasant. The Super Speed helped me to get a very close shave, with no irritations, or cuts.

Saturday Shave

Saturday, October 31, 2009
Happy Halloween!

Razor: Merkur Progress XL
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super Badger
Soap: Valobra soft soap (Crema di Sapone)
A/S: Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood splash

First time I’ve used Valobra--I found it to lather easily, and I like the nice, subdued almond scent (not as subdued as Cella, however). The shave was comfortable and effortless--and BBS. I’m very pleased to have Valobra join my soap rotation.

The Ogallala A/S provided an excellent finish and its scent did not clash with that of the Valobra.

 

Good Saturday afternoon

'73 Superspeed w/ 7a.m. Platinum
E.J. BBB
Mem sc
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Murray & Lanman Florida Water
Anherb a/s balm
Floris Vetiver (decant)

Great BBS shave with the Mem sc and a fresh 7a.m. platinum in the superspeed. First time with both the cream and the blade and it was definitely a winning combination.

 

That's how we Persian people stink, Habibi

 

Hot Shower
Glycerin Pre-shave
Gem Micromatic OC
Semogue 1305
VDH Deluxe
Dickinson's WH/Corn Huskers Lotion
Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
Obsession Cologne
Oregon Wild Hair Moustache Wax

Had an absolutely awful shave with this razor on Thursday but I just couldn't bench the old guy. After all he is the founder of the feast and quite a few years my elder. Anyway, after today's shave, I came to the conclusion that it was me on Thursday, not the razor. Today it delivered the type of shave it was famous for and it worked out very well. So comfortable that I did a 5 pass shave. Lesson learned, there's razors that will tolerate sloppy technique; the Gem Micromatic Open Comb is not one of them.

 

You Persians smell nicer than some from we Israelis! :happy102
