Vulfix 2235 S
Arko/TSD Hybrid SS
Proraso A/S

Friday:

Omega Wooden Handle
1950's Super Speed/Rapira day 2
Compass Ice Energy SC
Nord-ost AS Balm :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Quorum EDT

My 1st shave with this Compass cream, and I like it--the lather explodes like a bomb, the scent is very nice, and the cooling effect is there as well, although it's not powerful. The skincare seems to be good, because my skin felt calm after the shave. This Nord-ost balm is fantastic!

 

Again no Iveria???

 

Oyyyyyyyyyy, tomorrow, I promise, Habibi! :ashamed001

Friday...

No Name Finest Badger
Arko SS in a mug
Tech Bull Mastiff
Feather (1)
Alum
IvyClub Spice

The feather blade didn't work so well in this razor. The recent shave with a shark sc blade was much closer and more enjoyable. The more I try them, the more I think that feather blades just arent right for my face. 3 / 5

 

Thurs. night:
Face: Fatboy w/Astra SP
Head: Tech w/Dorco 301
William + TRSC Moisturizing SC Superlather
Alum
TSD Bergamot AS

The super lather performed well, but had a BIG drawback. By which I mean this.

 

Happy Friday From Florida!

Hot Shower
RAB Scuttle
TSD ISZ Wheat Cream
Omega Boar 10015
Rudy Vey "Sir Grapefellow" Injector G
Personna Blade (1)
Cold Water Rag
TSD ISZ ASM
Florida Water

4 passes + Touch Up = 5 Blade, Off The Hook, Bang A Gong, Inter-Galactic BBS!

The handle that Rudy put on this Injector adds a beefiness to the shaver. It seemed maybe a tad long at first, but once I adjusted I found the handle to actually be an improvement. It still delivers the shave one would expect from a Model G, but in a much more enjoyable way.

Have a great weekend ya'll!
