Crystal blade
AOS Pure Badger brush
Ogallala Bay Rum and Sweet Orange (probably my final shave out of that sample and thus emptying out my Old Spice mug...will then finish off my Burt's Bees Bay Rum soap, and then move to another Ogallala Bay Rum sample to keep with the theme...Bay Rum is one of my favorite scents, although I'm afraid my skin might not be getting along with the bay oil or something...)

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

1. Prep: Hot shower; Yardley bath bar; hand strop blade
2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Costa Rican w/ cream
3. Lather: Speick cream - face lather
4. Brush: Simpson's Commodore X2
5. Razor: Gem OCMM
6. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (5); 2 passes
7. Post: Cold water rinse; Kiehl's Balm

Another great shave with the Speick, a 2-pass DFS. The Commodore has quickly become my go to brush. A great combination of soft tips with nice backbone for massaging the lather into the stubble.

Shave Rating - Splendid! God Bless!

Same setup today. Just switch out the Commodore for a Vulfix 2234.
