Prep: hot shower
Brush: Muhle, 25 mm
Razor: Three Crosses
Cream: YArdley London (from India )
AS: Blue Floid + Tiger face lotion (cold here now)
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
First time with this cream ... very good cover and nice texture, but I would like more slip from it, however it was the first time and I could have been off some re technique.


... and some lovely coffee:

Soap – GFT Limes
AST – ALUM
AS – GFT Limes & Skinfood Lime

Good morning,
A day of days. Called in to action the John Heiffor Army chopper. This one got some new pants in ivory from Walt, “DirtyChrome”. The Ol timey washers are made by Richard “Geezer”. I broke down and used tape on this one to help keep the lines smooth. It works. That’s an understatement.

Strop: Maestro Livi loom strop
Brush: Muhle badger
Soap/Cream: D.R.H. (Lavender)
Razor: Jatco wedge 5/8"

Old Spice Classic Cologne

After ten days with the Cobra Classic it was strange getting back to a regular double edge razor. But old habits never die. A wonderful smooth and irritation free shave. I always start with the open comb side then switch to closed bar for ATG and finish off with the open end. This seems to work for me with great results.

Razor of the week. A DD Satinedge that I rehabed and a homemade 30mm 2 band brush.

PREP: Hot shower with Proraso pre shave
RAZOR: Goodfella
BLADES: Feather
BRUSH: Simpson chubby 2 Band
CREAM: Bluebeards Revenge
ASTRINGENT: Thayers
ASB: Bluebeards
EDT:Thierry Muglar " cologne"
RESULTS: MILD BUT BBS IRRITATION FREE SHAVE

Well Frank (Fbones) graciously let me borrow his Goodfella razor ( thanks again Frank!) after I had interest in buying one but was worried that it was going to be too mild of a shaver. Well a mild razor it is, and It took me a full 3 passes to get BBS, but I was irritation free and smoooooth. So I think I will be putting it on my list of things to buy soon.I also loved the way it felt, with the lower head profile. The blubeards always delivers and outstanding lather and matched with the asb it was divine.

HAVE A MAGICAL SUNDAY GENTS!!!!
