    Only one change from today for tomorrow's shave:

    A.S.-Rise Cooling Balm ("New" yet "Trusted Since The 50s"). **

    **-I think I can finally make some sense as to why they make their contradiction-Rise never had, A.S. balm before(new)and there is A LITTLE BIT of the original scent known and loved since the 50's. (I say, get the WHOLE original scent in there!).

    I love it - an awesome scent with lots of menthol goodness.

    '48 - '50 Gillette Aristocrat Razor
    Israeli Personna SS Blade
    Frank Shaving Boar Brush
    Klar Shave Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Aqua Velva Musk After Shave

    Even though I have only used this razor a few times, it is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The shaves it has produced is about par with my favorite, the Fatboy at settings of 5 or 6. Of course, the Klar soap most likely had a hand in it also. Today was no exception, as my shave was excellent with two passes and just a hint of touch up under my chin for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

    Second shave with what is/may be/could be a Philips Philite. Significant exposure makes this efficient and pretty aggressive I like it. [​IMG]

    Sunday's SE Shave

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Colgate Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #229
    Gem 1911 Lather Catcher
    Original Gem Cutlery SE
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #229 synthetic brush. I did the two passes with the Gem 1911 Lather Catcher and vintage Gem Jr. blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Gillette 1930's OC Ball End Made in Canada
    Blade: Personna Tungsten 74 (18)
    Brush: Elite Razor Tres Amigo w/ Sunset Synthetic
    Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Private Study

    A great week of shaving with these products. I probably could get another shave or two out of this blade, however, I'm changing razors tomorrow and the Personna 74 won't fit.

    Did you know that surf rock and death metal are pretty much musically identical?

    Strange but true.

    Razor: Schick G1

    Very late shave today. My wife hosted a baby shower for a niece today. Being the dutiful husband I am, I helped her get the house ready then I disappeared for the day. That is... I left. I did go on a hunt and found somethings but I'll post that in the next day or two.

    As far as this shave went it was great! I can declare I achieved BBS this time around. Usually, I have trouble with the neck stubble but I got it this time! :happy093:

    OCtober!!!

    October 28

    Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Pre-Shave - Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap from Stirling
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    Final shave for the MMOC this month and it's an excellent finish. Again, the alum was quiet, whether due to no pressure or the pre-shave or both. DFS finish and a smooth shave from start to finish. No complaints at all. I'm glad I got my hands on this razor for this month. It's a great addition to my limited SE collection and a great addition on its own right as well!

    Tomorrow night I'll go to the granddaddy of them all in my collection, the 1918 Old Style and I'll even throw a Feather in for the final three shaves. Let's go aggressive all the way on our way to NOVember!
