October 10 Plans

Gillette New LC in Gun-Kote Bronze by Delta Echo Razor Works
Feather blade (1)
Kent BK4 silvertip brush
Arko
Two passes
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Trumper's Coral Skin Food

I'm having a ball shaving with this set up during OCtober. The New LC delivers consistently close and comfortable shaves. My first pass is always WTG, and my second pass is usually a combination of XTG and ATG. I will occasionally add a third ATG pass, but not today. I've been rotating between Trumper's Coconut cream, and either TSD unscented or Arko soap. They've all been great performers for me.

Have a terrific weekend!

 

I do want to get the TSD bay rum sometimes soon =) but not iced =P

 

Awesome =D I'm beginning to see the bottom of the stirling bay rum

SOTD October 10, 2015

Rusty Blade Preshave Oil Blend
Gillette Heavy Tech / Astra SS
Semogue / Le Pere Lucien
Witch Hazel / Eucerin Cream

Second shave with this soap was much better. The soap lathered very well and produced a slick, thick lather. There is a very faint scent with this soap, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet. Certainly not unpleasant. Great shave. Hope you all have a great weekend...and to my Canadian brothers, Happy Thanksgiving!

 

The Glacial Lemon Chill soap gave me a freezing sensation which could have left a penguin shivering and the combination of the Diana Sport balm and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel was so intense that I had tearing eyes and a runny nose for a while. This shave turned out great!

 

I find that intriguing that the Cardinals and Cubs never played each other in the post-season before this year.

 

30 day focus - Day 10
Fat Boy set to 7
Dorco 301 Blade
MDC
3 passes

 

Today wasn't my best of shaves, because I knew it was time to chuck the dispose-ABLE. I do 3 shaves with each razor. Got out a fresh one, tomorrow should be better.

Well the Cubs have sucked for 107 years. LOL Ok, well so they were in the Series in the 40s....but other than that, yeah they've sucked. Official Cardinals line there.

 

Hey, that avocado... Does it smell like an actual avocado?

Another amazing bay rum shave. I'm on a bay rum high.. In 1 year I might only have bay rum soaps and acting like Gollum "my precious"

My homemade bay rum AS is the bomb, very soothing and smells so nice.

The s-brush is a must have, soft but has lovely backbone. Wow
