Monday 9/8 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: SCS Verbena (my favorite)
  [*]Razor: Silver '22 Gillette NEW Standard for face & Bic Sensitive for head
  [*]Blade: Treet Classic Dura Sharp Stainless (shave 3)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner
  
  [*]Result: Great BBS shave today. The SCS Verbena burned a bit today and I don't know why. Never did that before. The Verbena did make a great lather though. The Treet blade seemed to not do a very good job at first but by the time I got all passes done and the Thayer's on my face was as smooth as a Baby's Behind. No irritation or blood today.

Vintage Hega shaving stick :1respect :1respect :1respect
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Hega A/S

today's shave was vintage Sweden at its best--my goodness, this Hega stick smells sooooooooo nice, and lathers like Erasmic soap or Tabac soap. Everytime I use it, I ask myself, why did Sweden stop producing such a great soap?

Speick Shave Cream
Speick Aftershave Splash
Mama Bear's Peppermint Summer Aftershave Milk

Yes, menthol is addictive. I tried really hard not to use MB's aftershave and just leave it at Speick, but I couldn't do it. Within about 30 minutes I just didn't feel right and had to use it.

 

day 2 of Random Shave Week

Gillette Champagne Manly Razor with stars on it
Red pack Persona - day 5?!
The Knotty Badger 24mm silvertip (zebrawood)

I'm beginning to definitely agree menthol can be addictive to a small extent, (in a good way, of course!) because I find it hard not to use it for more than 2 days in a row.
