Tuesday's


Tuesday's Planned

Dove Men Face Wash
Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap
Jayaruh #25 WD Synthetic
Merkur 15c OC/Gillette Super Speed* 1947 BYR
Personna SS
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #25 WD Synthetic brush. First pass with my Gillette Aristocrat (1947 Birth Year Razor) with a Personna Super blade followed by second pass with the Merkur 15c Open Comb razor gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Lilac Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

No pic of tomorrow's morning shave. We moved into a new office suite so I took my camera for the welcome party Program Manager was throwing us and forgot the camera in office desk. Monday morning shave was a fantastic 2 pass BBS shave so going with the same setup but swapping out the Ash boar brush for the Cherry version, everything else is the same.

Creamy Tabacstag
I decided to try Cremo as a pre shave today and I'm impressed. It added more glide to the Tabac lather and made my face feel moisturized throughout the shave. I'll keep using Cremo with other soaps, and I also like it as a face wash in the shower. Overall, this was my usual great Tabac shave. Pinaud Clubman has a complimentary scent and leaves my skin smooth.
Prep: Cremo Cream
Soap: Tabac!
Brush: Brothers Bristles Spartan Bronze
Razor: Der Futur
Blade: Voskhod (3)
AS: Pinaud Clubman

 

Good morning everyone!

My shave 10/27/2015:

- D.R. Harris Almond Soap
- Semogue 620
- Merkur Progress 500
- Feather Blade
- Speick Men Active ASB (sample)



To me, the Progress and the Feather blade are a perfect match. Effortless and smooth shave. The After Shave Balm was okay, but I think I prefer the Regular Speick Men over the "Active" line of Speick products.

Right fine shave for a Tuesday and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

An excellent shave with the Edwin Jagger Menthol cream - its cooling effect is not that strong, but still quite pleasant and the lather is very rich as well as easy to build. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream is really top quality and the Skin Bracer went on so cool and fresh!
