Semogue 2011 LE FBristle 1 (#88)| Merkur 1904 CC w/ Red IP (4) | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba |La Toja in I Coloniali Terracotta Bowl| La Toja Manantiales After Shave Balsamo


Just like Soren I'm trying to see how long this blade can go since I switch every three days b/c I got thick course stubble. After my shave I usually dip my razor head in alcohol after a quick hot rinse in order to dry quicker & sanitize as well. This time around I have just been rinsing with hot water and letting it air dry. Let see how long that lasts. Any who aside from that La Toja is an excellent excellent Shave Soap. I had to have a quick shave with 2 passes which was achieved still got a BBS results. La Toja was so good I almost forgot to apply my AS. Anyways till tomorrow I hope you all have a great day my friends!

Wednesday:
Arko
Simpson Classic 1
Fatboy w/ Shark (2)
Old Spice

Such a simplistic shave but I loved it. Arko and Fatboy/Shark combo performed like a champ leaving me with a DFS and the Old Spice got me ready for the day!
If I am ever pressed for time to shave, this is the combo I would grab.

Razor	5/8 Shapleigh "Shapleigh Barber's" Freshly restored, scaled and honed
Prep	Hot Shower / Barbasol Lather soak with Hot Towel / Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rub / Rise Baby Face Gel on 2nd pass
Uber	Tabac + 4 drops Glycerine
Brush	24mm Silvertip in American Ash
AS	Alum Block + OBR Limes & Peppercorns
EdT	Cuba "Gold"
Result	A quicky polish, disinfected, a new set of scales (peened, not microfasteners this time) and a hone job, then a shave. All in the same morning! Of course the shave had to wait until afternoon, but still . The shave was a good one, not super great, but very passable and pleasurable. I think a few more passes on the CNat might help. I may go back to the 8k and polish it there some more, I'm not sure. I may leave it alone and just strop it a bunch more. It has a slight smile that was giving me trouble at first, but it had a bevel already so I just did the pyramid starting from the 4k. No irritation but some slight burn from the alum and of course, the OBR settles things right down. The Cuba Gold is becoming one of my favorites, and SWMBO doesn't disagree!!

Happy Shaving Gents!!
