SOTD 9-14-2014

5/8 Torrey, Full Hollow, Round Point
Proraso PSC
Tiki Frosted Woodland SC
Georgetown Scuttle
Lijun Finest Badger
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Gold Bond Moisturizing Lotion
Stetson Cooling Moisture ASL

I noticed that a lot are doing the cold shave this week but, I just can't get into the cold thing. It just feels icky after years of warm lather from my scuttles. Everyone is different and that is what makes the wet shaving world an interesting and ever changing place but for me ...it's nice warm lather for sure.
Speaking of nice warm lather...the Tiki Frosted Woodland SC makes tons of it and the menthol blast from it does a great cooling effect. Paired with the Stetson Cooling Moisture at the finish; a very nice cool after shaving feeling.

Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion
Razor: Schick Injector Adjustable M2
Blade: Personna (3)
Lather: WSP Lavender Rustic Soap
Brush: Oscar11 w/ Omega 20248 Knot
Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion
Aftershave: Shulton Old Spice

What an incredible shave! While the Schick Adjustable has been giving a close shave, it just hasn't been quite what I expected based on the hype. Today, I cranked it all the way up and finished with an incredible shave. The WSP Lavender soap has a wonderful, natural scent and it performs as well as it smells.

Have a great day!

 

Sunday
Early morning Shave
Five in the a.m. & all is quiet…just a relaxed, peaceful shave with the ol' reliable Hersko.
A few more cups of coffee afterwards and I was ready to really face the day…
Have a blessed Sunday, all!

 

Sounds like you are having a great time in Lake Oswego Guy! Floating in the pool and watching football all day and...eating Bar-B-Q from the grill. Life is good! Enjoy your visit and ...go Seahawks! :rah:

 

SOTD 9/14
Razor - Schick G1
Blade - Schick (new)
Brush - WD 24/55 Silvertip
Cream - GFT Coconut Oil
Post - Shea Moisture Tea Tree

This was the first time with a Schick injector. Not a BBS but still a DFS. Minor irritation but better than my SE Star. I'm tempted now to get a Cobra or a Mongoose.

Beautiful blade, sir!

 

I'm with you warm lather is the way to go, I need to feel my face to get a good shave, as I listen to the razor and blade do their work. I put my mug in the sink with hot water as I whip up some lather. Not a scuttle but it works for me.

 

Thanks Bruce. We are grilling Carne Asada right now for lunch and will be grilling Salmon for dinner. Going to be a great day!

 

Save me a seat out by the pool....I'll be right over!

 

and thanks to you also, very happy with our endeavor.
my mother recognized her father's brush straightaway.

@Jayaruh I've given the Supermax SII blades a try. I would skip over them... They are quite rough and not that sharp. Better than disposables but Id get the Personnas or Dorcos. Both are much smoother.YMMV of course.

Vacation shave kit

Prep: wash with Clear Essentials glycerin soap
Soap: Petal Pusher Fancies "Scentsless"
Brush: Whipped Dog synthetic
Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: Personna Med Prep
After: Cold rinse, CeraVe lotion

This was my small shave kit while I was on vacation a few days in Stehekin, WA. This place is truly off the grid: no phones, no cell phones, and the only way to get in or out is by boat or float plane. Great place for hiking! We didn't exactly camp out, we stayed at a little resort that was very comfortable. A hot tub is great after a long mountain hike. This was the view from the hot tub!

 

Wow... haven't thought about British Sterling in years. My father used to wear that. Now I may have to go look for some!
