SoS: September 28, 2015 - October 4, 2015

After yesterday's first ever straight shave I did gave 3 little cuts. I decided to give the Shave trees a break and go with a reliable razor, and had a wonderful shave.



Razor. - Gillette Milord
Blade - Wilkinson Sword
Lather - Proraso green
Pre shave - Proraso green
Brush - Fine Angel hair
Aftershave - Nivea Cooling Balm

 

Razor A: Ever-Ready SE 1914
Razor B: Scimitar Bluebeards Revenge
Blade A: GEM (4)
Blade B: Feather (7)
Brush: WDC-1 Grandfather's restored rush Black Badger Wood Handle (20/65
Soap: Synergy Shaving Soap Bay Rum
A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

 

Great looking razor, and I like the case with the blade pack.

 

I didn't realize that Bluebeard Revenge had straight razors also. Looks good.

 

For Tuesday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 2
Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Drakkar Noir EdT

So far this will be my set-up, but I may make some changes. I'll keep everyone posted.

 

SOTD
Pre: home made lavender Pre shave oil
Shave: Edwin Jagger DE89 loaded with a Astra superior platinum blade
Soap: Arko shave stick
Post: Noxema, cool rinse, alum block, wich hazel, loid mentolado vigaroso

 

T&H PSO
Lime GFT Cream
Simpson Case Best Badger
Schick I1
Schick (2)
AOS After Shave Balm

I was using the Case while traveling recently but I like it so much I am bringing it into the rotation at home. I don't think there is anything it doesn't do well.

 

Actually it is a Shavette...my most recent experiment.

 

Tuesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TOBS Grapefruit
Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip
Schick I1
Personna SS Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Florida Water

The TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Schick I1 razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Ok, guys - some changes for Tuesday's plans:

I'll be using my newly-arrived Lea Classic shaving cream instead of the MITA soap, some Intesa Glacial a/s lotion, and Krampert's Frostbite a/s lotion. All this lovely stuff is from Italian Barber!

 

Feather MR3 Neo-19
Semogue 1520
Mama Bear/Honey Bee Sue
Coconut/Lime SS
Clubman Bay Rum AS

One thing I like about Levi Stadium, there's no need to ENCLOSE it....it's fine the way it is.

 

I knew you'd change the play at the line of scrimmage

Planned Tabac Tuesday

Schick L1 razor

I'm a real fan of Tabac shaving cream and may even like it more than the soap. The scent is quite a bit stronger with all the excellent properties of the soap.
