Sunday, July 08, 2012

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Long Handled Progress
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Simpson Emperor 2 Two-Band
Soap or Cream: Tabac Soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Tabac Splash

A fine BBS shave with one of my favorite soaps, probably my first tallow-based soap. The weather has cooled to more moderate temperatures, and I'm a happy guy. There is nothing like a good shave to start the day off right!

PreShave: MRGLO
Brush: Frank Shaving Synthetic
Soap: Speick Shave Stick
Razor; iKon OC Bulldog
Blade: Personna Lab (5)
AS: Nivea Balm and Osage Rub

Sunday


Mach 3 (5)
Vie-Long Pro Horsehair
KMF Cool Mint Shave Soap
Nivea Sensitive Post Balm
Krampert's Finest Bay Rum

At least 7 shaves out of a generic Mach 3 cartridge would be very good. So far smooth and close without irritation. Prep is the key to a successful shave.

Sunday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Shark day 2
New Proraso Green SC
Gillette Series Intense Cooling AS Balsam
Gillette Wild Rain AS

This new version of Proraso Green cream is awesome stuff - I never realized that Proraso could come out with such a big improvement. Wow, the lather is so explosive, the scent is still the same, but the skincare is a million times better than before, and it's just as cooling as ever. I'm not usually a big fan of Gillette products, but the Intense Cooling balsam and the Wild Rain aftershave splash both smell so nice and feel so good on my skin. 2 passes without any touch-ups got me ultra-BBS. Sorry, no pictures today!

SOTD, Sunday, 8 July-
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: iridium
Brush: Simpson Somerset 57 flat top
Soap or Cream: Tabac and MWF
EDT: Uplands from Bullgoose

Nice and cooler this morning; took a two mile walk and sat in the covered swing drinking tea and enjoying the birds, deer, other critters

Sunday morning:

pucked Valobra stick
Simpson Special Best badger
GEM '24 (1912 patent razor)
GEM SS ptfe (6)
Witch hazel

I don't use this shave stick as often as I should. I had forgotten how good it really is.

Sunday, July 8th

Razor: iKon Bulldog OC
Blade: Gillette Yellow
Brush: Simpson M7 Manchurian
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Trumper Violet
Scuttle: Ladysea Two-Piece Scuttle
A/S: Alt Innsbruck

The Simpson M7 works as well with soaps as it does with creams and I was rewarded with mounds of lather. The iKon/Gillette Yellow combination left my face feeling smooth and the finish of Alt Innsbuck was the cherry on the sundae.
