Monday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/new Sharp
Five Fives-SC (from Egypt)
Arko Aqua-AS gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Acqua di Selva-cologne

A very nice Egyptian-style shave this morning. The Five Fives cream has a double refreshing to it, with a nice lemony scent, and there's also a good amount of menthol. I wish the tube was bigger--60 grams may not last too long, unless I use rationing.

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel pep:

vintage Rooney badger
fatboy/English Gillette(NOS)
MWF
Lucky Tiger AS
TGQ 'Leatherneck' Extrait

Very nice shave this morning as usual. Effortless razor waltzing, with a great scent to finish things off properly.

BBS results,

Martin

I'll be honest with you gentlemen, this shave was pretty piss poor and it could be because of a number of things. I'll attribute to one of two; either the blade was faulty, or my razor had too much soap residue on it for it to be able to perform up to it's abilities. I'd like to think it was the latter of the two so I gave it a good Scrubbing Bubbles bath afterwards so it'll be all set for the next go around. The Speick lathered up nicely and I liked to Floid so much from Saturday that I decided to use it again this morning. I'm glad I did. Because of the fact that I am/was aggravated with this morning's results, you may not hear from me again until the end of the week.
