SoS: October 6, 2014 - October 12, 2014

SOTD Saturday October 11:
Prep: Sauna (rare treat), hot shower, shaving oil
Razor: 62 Gillette Slim on 6 w/ Derby blade
Soap: Razorock Fresco with a drop of Rosemary and Peppermint EO added.
Brush: Omega 10066 Boar
After: Cold water and a touch of vaseline to keep moisturized.

Second shave with the Slim; still learning, but it's getting easier. I'm used to straights, so having a lot less blade and less "exposure" to the blade is a learning curve.

 

I found this cream on ebay for just over 24$ dollars a tub. Its 200ml, so the price is okey even though its 24$.

But I'm not gonna get it just yet, I forbade myself from buying stuff because I have a lot right now hahaha

My wife and I returned home this weekend after enjoying some vacation, so Monday will be our first day back to work. Shaving begins before 6 a.m. on work days! We are grateful for our time away and for safe travels.

I plan to change a few things in my shaving routine this week (prep, razor, brush, soap, and aftershave) and will stick with them for the upcoming week. I enjoy using the Weber PH as the bulldog handle feels great in hand. I don't use soap very often, but I will give my MWF a go this week. I alternate between 2 and 3 passes during the work week, depending on time available in the morning and how my skin feels from the previous day's shave.

Have a great week, everyone!
