I will be using, Afta After Shave Skin Conditioner,not because of Razor Burn
It really does feel very soothing in this humidity and heat.
I will use Williams Mug Shaving Soap
I will continue to use it the rest of this coming week, in Honor of my Father.
He always used either Williams Mug Shaving Soap or I think Palmolive Shaving Cream in the can. I do remember him using a mug and brush.
He also always used a Gillette Razor of sorts DE/TTO
Maybe after all of these years I have finally learned how to shave?

Thank you very much Johnny.
I don't know what to say, maybe it's an issue with Google Drive.
Actually I just check on my Mac. Safari has the same problem, with Google Chrome everything works fine.
Dropbox was much better, but I have not enough space there.
I am gonna change my upload method.
4.15 am strart ,so feeling a wee bit tired.
Refreshing bath to wake me up & chill me out ,followed by shave .

No prep, cold water, face lathered shave. :)
Thiers Issard 69 frameback razor - C. Salter travel badger brush - Allegro travel strop - LaToja cream - cold splash - Acca Kappa 1869 AdC
Travel shave from Durban, South Africa.
Bit of redness. This blade goes back to the stones when I return.
It's winter here, but with 26 degrees it's over ten degrees warmer then the "summer" that I left behind in Amsterdam. Makes you wonder... :)

PRESHAVE: Face wash with soap and warm/hot water
RAZOR: ATT H1 / MR22 handle
BLADE: Platinum Lux (3)
SOAP: Soap Commander "Purple" sample (1st try)
BOWL: VDH
BRUSH: Tweezerman Badger
POST: Rinse with warm/hot water to get soap off and then some cold water rinses/splashes and pat try.
Comments: Went with the ATT H1 today and did two passes plus some touch up and ended up with a DFS with no issues at all! No irritation or weepers/nicks! The handle is longer and heavier than I am used to but worked out fine and even better than I thought it would. I almost didn't use it because of it length and weight but glad I tried it out! This soap is the my first time with it and I like it alot. It is very good soap, great slick lather and protection. I have no idea what the scent should be as too me it is weak enough where I cannot make it out. This was the same issue with there "Blue" sample I tried but no big deal. I would much rather have the slick lather and protection than a scent that I can make out and/or is too strong! Shave was great today!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.
