Semogue 1800 | Merkur HD w/ Red IP (UK) | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba | La Toja SStick | La Toja Manantiales After Shave Balsamo

I thought I was imagining this but I'm not really happy with the Merkur HD. I first thought it was the blades and I've tried different ones. Secondly I thought it was maybe the prep before or maybe it was because of the SS or SC not agreeing with my skin. But among the SC & SS I have are great and have been used many times within the rotation I sort through. But for some odd reason when I use the HD, I always get a nick/weeper. When I use my CC 1904 or EJ BChrome I get nothing but BBS as my post shave results. Anyways, I hope you all have a great day!

P.S. - Congrats BRuhling!

Good Wednesday to you all!

Razor: Union Cutlery "Spike" half-hollow (Courtesy WhippedDog)
Cream: Art of Shaving Sandalwood
Brush: MDG WoodDesign silvertip
After: Alum Block / Osage Rub
Cologne: Habit Rouge by Guerlain

Today was my first full straight shave! Two passes was about all I felt comfortable with, for a relatively CCS. At least no worse than what I get when I have to resort to disposables on the road. No major blood loss! Yay me!

WEDNESDAY MORNING


Gentlemen's Refinery Standard SS
Simpson Colonel 2XL
Georgetown G5 Scuttle

Alum block
SCS Sandalwood Extract


CCS - 2 passes - nice business shave... The GR Standard has a very light scent - but good lubrication.
The SCS Sandalwood Extract is a very pleasing, fairly understated, scent...

Thought for the Day:
There are no disposable people. Everyone you will encounter today is important to someone...
