Good morning Gents!
Wednesday:
Razorock Classic
Rudy Vey Chubby 2 clone
Fatboy w/ Shark (1)
Razorock alum stick
4711

I went pretty agressive around my jawline tring to get that smooth feeling but I ended up irritating the area a bit doing so. Because of that, I used the alum stick to help the affected area (oh the burn) than splashed some 4711 on the get that awesome scent going.
BBS is also getting harder to come by on my cheeks which is odd because I've never had a problem there before. I'll investigate more tomorrow. No pic today as my quest to banish all the hairs from my jawline took more time than anticipated.
Have a great day guys

Wednesday, 21 March 2012

Prep: face scrub and soak with cold water.

Shower

[mjhammer]

Prep: Hot Shower / Rise Baby Face Shave Gel Rub
Razor: 6/8 Clauss
Hones: 50 felt / 100 Horsehide / 100 chestnut cowhide
Brush: 24mm Silvertip
Uber: Old Spice Original Shaving Soap in Old Spice Mug
AS: Alum Block + Old Spice Original
Edc: Old Spice Cologne
Result: The shave wasn't so great today, I think I managed to roll the edge stropping last shave. I used it 2 days ago and it was wonderful. I thought maybe the lather was at fault, but no. I must have done something to it stropping, that's all I can think of. I finished up my last 2 passes with my Mandarin 4/8 and it was blazingly smooth and keen and the lather was wonderful. 3 passes and DFS. I'm taking the Clauss back to the hones as soon as I finish posting. I'm sure glad I have learned more about honing, because I love this razor. Classic Old SPice is a wonderful change, going back in time to a period when I had one AS and One EdT.




Have a Great Wednesday My Brothers In Blades!!

Not as interesting as some of the products here but it gets the job done for my 22 year old mug. Please excuse the picture from a shoddy point and shoot camera from practically 10 years ago, I'm surprised the shot even turned out! I shave at night sometimes if I have plans to go out, tonight I did to take a break from a 20 page essay! "Refreshing" for me to say the least, especially the blinding menthol of the Alt-Innsbruck!

Strop: premier strop company 3" latigo
Razor: Detroit made "Victory" 5/8
Soap: P160 Tipo Morbido
Brush: Omega Mixed Midget
Aftershave: Alt-Innsbruck
