Razor: ’59 (E4) Fatboy
Blade: Israeli Personna (3)

Didn't see the OC theme for the week before shaving this morning. I'll remedy that tomorrow.

Late entry for Monday:

Proraso old-white pre,
Valobra Fougere (a gift from a friend) w/ Amica #99,
Mongoose head V4 (under development by a friend) on a Weber handle,
WH, sul filo del rasio blam & Alpa Fougere cologne.

Smooth and easy! Those who have tried it have not especially felt the Valobra Fougere has anything resembling a fougere scent - and they're right. It's more of a dirty puck of DR Harris Arlington (including the Arko high notes), but the lather and performance is excellent. A really comfortable shave. That's it - enjoying a day off.

Wednesday

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: Arko face-lathered
Brush: Vie-Long horse hair
Razor: '62 Giillette Slim (7)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Permasharp (Green Indian) (1)
AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
ASB: Dove Hydrate
Fragrance: Cuba Red

1st: N-S, 2nd: S-N, 3rd: ATG where needed. Result: DFS, almost BBS

Finally getting around to the Gillette Indian Green blade. Gave me an outstanding shave, smooth, sharp (but not as sharp as the Black). The Gillette Permasharp doesn't get a lot of love, maybe because it is not widely available in the US.
