Monday, Jan 16
Coffee: Counter Culture Mocha Java
James Bond Shower
Pre: 3P
Brush: Simpsons Duke 3
Lather: QCS Vostok
Razor: Schick I1
Blade: Schick Injector
Post: Cold Water Rinse, Alum, Proraso ASB, Osage Rub

First SE shave. Razor was NOS, but it got a Bar Keeper's Friend scrub followed by a Barbecide bath. I found the experience different than what I was expecting. A little more tugging than I would like, especially on my neck XTG/ATG. Will take some getting used to I guess.

[Zephyr]

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Chubby 1
Razor: Wade & Butcher 7/8
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
After shave: Str8fencer's homemade English Leather AS splash
Results: The shave was decent, but the edge was not quite where it should be, need to take her back to the hones before next shave. Str8fencer's English Leather is honestly one of the top 5 aftershaves I have tried, great performer, just the right amount of sting and a wonderful real leather scent

This morning (Monday) --

- prep: shower with Duru soap from Turkey and long soaking with hot towel
- Speick shave cream, lathered with Cerrus badger
- Merkur 34c/HD w/ Ladas blade
- Speick After Shave lotion

Not knowing of this week's theme at the time, all these items are more low- to mid price range. For tomorrow I have an idea to match though
