    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS​
    Another fine shave with my new Merkur slant. Face lathered with the VDH Deluxe and Frank Shaving Finest to make way for another smooth irritation-free shave. Even though it was only my second shave with a slant, I found myself shaving at a comfortable pace. I forgot to slow down because this is uncharted waters, but there were no mistakes made. I ended up with another great near BBS shave. Finished off with some Dickinson's WH and the Aqua Velva Ice Blue. There was a refreshing tingle but no stinging. Incredible.​

    I got one at Walmart and two at Target. They are just empty travel bottles. I printed the labels and applied them to the bottles with packing tape. I have one for Aqua Velva, one for Pinaud Clubman, and one for my Dickinson's Witch Hazel. I really like them. I can make three or four sprays on my face and then spread it with only one hand. I am not sure but I feel I may be using up to one-half as much per shave as an old fashioned application.

    Cool, that's a great idea and those labels are right on.

    Sunday

    Prep: Hot Shower
    Soap: Barbon Cream
    Razor: ’66 Gillette Slim “6”
    Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
    Brush: Omega 6192 Badger
    Aftershave: Barbon
    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)

    3RD shave with the Polsilver SI blade in the Slim. The Polsilver and Slim both doing well: smooth, close, nick & burn free shave. I left it on “6” today. I tried the Barbon Cream for the first time today and was impressed! I also finished with a refreshing splash and blast of Barbon AS.

    Ready for some football……..

    Sunday:

    Prep: Hot compress, Crown Co. Supreme Glide Pre-shave lotion
    Brush: VDH Boar
    Soap: Ginger's Garden Coffee Jasmine Glycerin
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
    Blade: Dorco 301 (1)
    Passes: WTG, XTG
    Post: Cold water rinse, Dickinson's WH, Pinaud Clubman AS
    Cologne: Endymion by Penhaligon's

    I went back to the Dorco 301 for a change of pace, since I still have several from my sample pack and rather enjoyed them. The shave I get is slightly less comfortable than with the Bolzano or the Bic, but with a bit more audio feedback to compensate. With no significant plans today, I made do with a simple, 2-pass DFS today, finishing up with a bit less of the Clubman than I used yesterday as I acclimate to the amount of aftershave splash to use after getting accustomed to balms. I'm thinking I'll probably use balms during the week, with splashes on the weekend to avoid supersaturating my face with moisturizers.

    No time to use my Dovo Bismarck this morning because I have to take my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to the airport - they're off to sunny Punta Cana, (lucky them!) so I used the next best thing and I still got a great shave. Once a menthol addict, always a menthol addict - because I was planning to use my Palmolive stick today, but the Gada Cool Mint cream begged me to use it instead. A dear friend of mine in this group is soon getting a tube of it along with some other of my Cracky Wacky Ticky Tacky Face-Freezing Treasures! ;) :D (sorry, no photos today)

    I relofted (shortened) my Shavemac, this is where it needed to be originally. Acca Kappa is my favorite almond scented soap/cream and resulted in a nice shave this morning. Have a good one.
