Thursday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/new Rapira Tet-a-tet SC Tet-a-tet AS Balsam Polo Original EDT The Tet-a-tet cream and aftershave balsam are also among my top favorites - the cream's lather is so rich, easy to build, and very stable, with a nice menthol effect and great scent. The matching aftershave balsam is very cooling and soothing. Today's shave was a pleasure from start to finish. :biggrin:
Gillette Injector Pella Injector blade Knotty Badger Best Old Spice Lime The Shave Den Iced Lime splash Crabtree and Evelyn West Indian Lime Cologne To me, the Old Spice Lime cream smells like Trix cereal. Does the aftershave smell like that too? If it does, I might stop looking for a bottle. It had been a long time since I have used an injector. The first pass I felt some pulling, but got a great 3 pass shave. This razor loves blade buffing.
Thurs 27 October Took my time this morning Starbucks Italian Roast, Black TSD ISZ preshave balm Proraso, White Tub Berkley 46, face lather Gillette Milord, w/ Gillette 7O'Clock Permasharp (green-D3) Alcolado Glacial, w/ Proraso ASB Took my time and marinated the face this morning with the ISZ balm. A very nice and smooth shave. The gillette Greens seem much smoother to me now than they did six or seven months ago. A very relaxing shave for the morning. Forgot to get the ISZ in the picture, maybe tomorrow. DFS, again almost BBS.

Thursday Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8; Gillette Tech Brush: Omega Boar Soap: Institut Karite A/S: Pinaud Clubman Felt great at shave time this morning, so I used a straight! Good shave, but I did require a little touch up on my neck and the Tech loaded with a Shark blade took care of that without any problems. Nice splash of Pinaud Clubman post-shave and I was ready to face my day.
Thursday morning, Schick Injector Razor I1 w/ Personna blade (2) Rooney 1/1 Best Badger Brush, Arko shave soap w/ hot water lather, finish w/ cold water rinse for a DFS!
Union Razo 5/8 TGN Silvertip AOS Preshave C.O. Bigelow Nivea AS Balm 2 pass DFS, no clean up. I just picked up this straight on a whim from the SRP classifieds and got it a few days ago, but I haven't even had time to shave since Monday. It came freshly honed and has a nice edge, but I just can't seem to shave my neck without irritation (with a straight), even after just one WTG. I have a hard time finding some of the angles I guess...still it was nice to finally get that stuff offa my face
When I was just starting out in September I was having some irritation at the base of the neck and discovered my hand got heavier the lower it went. When I kept a constant vigil for light touch it cleared right up, but I constantly have to tell myself light, no pressure as I work my way down the neck. Thursday: Shumate 5/8 The Dridecker Arko Stick Witch Hazel Nivea Sensitive Balm Polo Sport edt
You may have forgotten to get the ISZ in the pic, but you did get the coffee! Nice!! By the way? How long did you marinate? I'll let it sit for 30-40 minutes on the weekends, and then shower. Really is a great prep for my str8s and SEs.
