    Thursday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/new Rapira
    Tet-a-tet SC :love029: :love029: :love029: :smiley freezing:
    Tet-a-tet AS Balsam :love029: :love029: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:
    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.

    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.

    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!! :eatdrink013:

    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.

    The Wilkinson stick is a mighty fine soap that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

    We need to get a group buy on both of these, somehow. This is great stuff and my single tube of each is getting low.
