[HoosierTrooper]

Gillette New
Vintage Personna 74 blade
Mama Bears Spellbound woods
Vintage Erskine brush

Now I understand the hype about the Personna 74 blade!

 

[BladeRunner001]

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme
Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill
Razor: 6/8" Dubl Duck "SatinEdge", Hollow, Spike Point
Brush: 22mm Vulfix Best Badger
Überlather: Al Raz Calypso "Da Bomb" Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Trade Winds Shave Soap + Gycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Post Shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food
Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Facial Moisturizer
ASB: Al Raz Spicy Orange ASB
Result: After a very nice 6 mile hike/run to my usual spot in the mountains (Zen #1), I came home sore, and treated myself to a nice hot shower and "open pores" (Zen #2). The prep was exceptionally amazing; my facial pores were already open (from the workout and the hot shower) so the lather took on a life of its own with this scenario ...thick, lots and lots of cushion and very moist. My face literally ate it up. Then came the "Pièce de la résistance" - the Duck! These are amazing shavers. This Satin Edge is no exception. It delivered a "smooooooth as a baby's bottom" face for me without so much as a nick or irritation (Zen #3). What a way to start Saturday.

Well, First time posting here, and I don't have anything for today, so here are the last two of this week:

Razors: Wade and Butcher Special, Geneva Cutlery Co, and Joseph Elliot. All three nice and smooth.
Cream: TOBS Avocado
Brush: Omega. Birthday gift from my better half
Strop: Tony Miller Horsehide
Method: Ice cold shave. Brush soaked in frigid water, face scrubbed with frigid water, lather made with frigid water. Very refreshing, and very smooth. I love the cold.

Cream: The Body Shop Maca Root
Brush: H. L. Thater 24mm silvertip.
Strop: Kagaroo hide

Cheers,
Jeremy
