I'm not big on preshave oils, but it's cool that @Slock shared his formula! Hope others try it and report in.
Man @ouchyfoot that Pall Mall set is really giving you a run for your money! I admire your persistence.

Brush: PAA Starcraft
Lather: Stirling Island Man
Blade: Schick Proline (5) -- had some trouble aligning this blade previously, but it set up nicely today and it worked well
Razor: Blackland Vector SB
Balm: Duke Cannon Ice Cold -- no alcohol based splash again today

Another nice, soothing, comfortable shave with cold water. I had a weeper on my neck, maybe from a blemish. DFS results. My skin is looking calmer again after having generated some irritation a few days ago.

Rating: 8.9/10.

Soap qualities are good. Good strength, sweet, creamy, and slick...
3rd shave with this razor on a jnat edge was surprisingly better than the previous 2. Took a week's break from SR and somehow it felt better today. 3passes with extra under the jawline & neck gave me a dfs to ccs result which is the best so far from this edge. No weepers nor irritation...yay! Aftershaves were excellent. Rating 9.5/10!

Back to trying this combination after travelling last week with a more familiar combination. The blade felt just as smooth as the first two shave but a bit sharper today and gave a nice close shave. It could probably still be a bit sharper but I could quite easily shave with this combination again.
First shave with the Arlington sample cream, performance is the same solid performance you get from other D.R. Harris creams and the scent is a very nice citrus and fern scent. I bought a sample to see if I liked the scent before I bought soap and/or stick version. Probably going to get both!
Overall a pleasant, irritation free shave with no alum feedback.

A close, clean and comfortable Shave. I only did one pass this morning because of time constraints but it was a good pass.
When I started Shaving disposable razors were not on the market. I know I had a TTO Gillette and probably Gillette blades.I didn't think about more than that. And the Blade was good for 3 or 4 days of single passes. Blades have gotten a lot better.

If your BAD is active and you stick to Omega Boars you can have a great big brush collection without spending too much.
Also, I’m a bad person…if you do not have the Connaught Premium Jade Boar (made by Omega) it’s incredible for about $30.
See, I told you I was BAD!

I already have a nice collection of boar brushes. I would guess half Omega and half Semogue. But there is always room for another!!!

Aftershave: Old Spice

Good morning! Wow, what a great shave. Face lathered Stirling with the Omega boar. I can tell I’m going to love this brush once it’s broken in. Went for a thinner, slicker lather today and was very pleased with that decision. The Wizamet / Lupo combo was very smooth and incredibly close. One of those extra special shaves. BBS
Finished with vintage Old Spice.

Comments:	Minimal stubble, 3 nicks, no weepers. 1st shave with the new WCS 84S. Need to re-adapt to the heft of this razor on chin, and upper cheek. Also, a friend suggested putting Petroleum Jelly on the head's threads to reduce wear and tear.

Another outstanding shave. No blood or injuries, DFS/BBS. Gillette Silver Blue still going strong on shave three. Two days of growth...gone. I haven't used a Goodfellas' Smile soap in a while...I've been trying new soaps and creams. This lathered very well and painted on beautifully. I quickly remembered why I like their soaps.

Happy Shaves, Everyone!

Comments	Using the Wolfman on Wolfman Wednesday. It is loaded with a Personna Lab for the third shave. The brush is my oldest and smallest one: a Hoffritz I bought many years ago. A great shave. I topped off with some TOBS fragrance. Have a great day, B&Bers.
