Friday morning!

Gillette '58 TV / Derby blade

The T&H rose cream continues to impress. Very creamy lather, nicely scented and not heavily colored.

 

Friday 9/19 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: T&H 1805
  [*]Razor: GEM Featherweight for face & Braun 7526 electric for head
  [*]Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated SE (shave 3)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & Nivea Senstive ASB
  
  [*]Result: Amazing, amazing, amazing! The Pella blade still shave like it is brand new. By this time I am usually feeling major tugging or pulling with a SE blade and I don't feel any reduction on pass 1. With the Pella blade I almost skipped the last ATG pass because the blade had done a great job of reduction at that point. Did the ATG pass and found that I needed minimal blade buffing with the Oil Pass. I am finding the "plastic handle" GEM Featherweight to be quite a good shaver (sorry D.Iriving79). Like the GEM lather catcher and 1912 models this razor works very well with the Pella blades. Finally I shave for the second time with the T&H cream. What a lather with not much cream. And the scent is just great. This was indeed an enjoyable and comfortable BBS shave for the 3rd day in a row with a GEM/Pella set up.

Saturday:

Omega Silvertip
Weishi Chrome/new Sharp
Arko shaving stick
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Aqua Velva Musk A/S/cologne

I think the Weishi/Sharp combination works very well. This time I got BBS! It's been a long time I haven't shaved with Arko soap, and I intend to do it more often--I still like this stuff a LOT!

 

You're welcome!

Yes, it was a very nice olfactory experience. The spiced citrus went better with the juniper than I had expected. I'll definitely use this combination again.
