  • Prep: shower
  • Razor: Mühle R89 JET
  • Blade: Polsilver SI (1)
  • Brush: The BiG SHave 2013 #90/100
  • Soap: Arko
  • Post: Thayers Medicated Superhazel
  • After shave: Proraso lozione dopobarba, Bulldog balm
First use of the Mühle R89 JET. It was very nice. It is heftier than the regular R89 and the rubberised handle helps a lot in terms of grip. When using a chrome razor it can sometimes feel like it's going to slip out of your hands every second - not the case with the JET. The DLC coating of the head also improves the shave in my opinion. The razor was able to cut through my one and a half day of stubble without any problems. The audible feedback is very similar to that of a Weber DLC. I think both DLC coated razors sound different to most other razors. The audible feedback is a tiny bit more high pitch in my opinion.

Saturday-Italia!

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Spice Bath Soap
Soap: Palmolive Menthol Cream-Italy
Razor: RazoRock Jaws OC
Blade: Personna Med Prep (4)
Brush: Omega 10066 Boar Brush-Italy
Aftershave: Proraso Green-Italy

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)


Back to Italy today! I used my trusty Italian Palmolive Menthol Cream, lathered up with my Omega 10066 Boar Brush, and went to work with Jaws and the Med Prep. I finished with the Proraso Green Aftershave. This was a great combination and a great, smooth, very close, nick & burn free shave

Below freezing here in south Texas today….very rare. I know…..we don’t have “real” winter like a lot of you, but it is sure cold for us. I am actually getting to wear a sweater today!
