Tuesday evening:

Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 7
Sir Irisch Moos stick, bowl lathered
Super Adjustable, O-2, set at 4(first pass) then 3
Treet Durasharp carbon blade, 2nd shave
Target witch hazel
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula

Irisch Moos arrived in the mail today. Great cushion, not as good a glide as some others I've tried. Missed the Irish Spring effect, but enjoyed the spicy notes, more subtle than expected. I was concerned about allergic reaction or irritation, but this was not the problem that I've had with other soaps. A DFS to near-BBS.

This will probably be my last SOTD for the next couple of weeks because we leave tomorrow morning for Japan to visit the in-laws. I'll check in when I can, just to make sure David and the others are behaving. In the meantime, enjoy your little slice of ritualistic heaven each day!

First Day of Class !
~05/30/2012~

'Macfix Grosvenor' \\ Merkur 1904 w/ Red IP \\ Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba \\ Santa Maria Novella Crema da Barba \\ Proraso Crema Liquida Dopobarba

Holy Moly! Tried something different with SMN this morning. After taking a shower I put a little warm on top of the croap while prepping my stubble with pre shave. After doing so, I poured the water off and was ready to load with my D-01 3Band. The moment I started loading the brush, lather was exploding. I was loading for about 15-20 sec, then face lathered. I had enough lather easily for 3 passes w/ touch up. SMN woke me up b/c of the menthol added but its just the right dose. Not complaining at all about the Lanolin too b/c my post shave feel is BBS. I finished off with Proraso w/ AV Classic Ice Sport AS. Please wish me luck b/c Its my first day of class! I hope to ace Physics!

P.S. - Have an excellent day my friends!
