SOTD Sunday July 25, 2010

Razor: 5/8 Tiger Wedge Hollow Point
Shaving Cream: Musgo Real
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Medium Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Mennen Original Skin Bracer

Super BBS shave this morning! (Probably because I shaved so late yesterday afternoon) AAR, slicker than frog smot on a doorknob! LOL The Musgo real shave cream performed great this morning. My observation of it realized that elusive factor I call cushion. The Musgo Real had it. I could feel the razors edge moving across the skin but there was a softness that I didn't feel with the shaving soaps (except the Ogallala) that IMHO I consider the cushion. I wouldn't say the Musgo had a lot of slipperiness but it didn't feel as dry or as heavy as the soaps either. (Probably the Bentonite clay used in the soaps gives it that heaviness.) I'm not sure what the base is in the Musgo. It doesn't say on the packaging. I love this shaving cream! Not only does it perform great the scent of the Musgo is well worth the price of the tube! Wonderful scent, good performance and great price; one of my favorite creams! Great shaves shown this week by all Gentlemen. Thanks for sharing! :tu

Haydn Randall & Co. 5/8
Semogue 2009 LE #19
Mama Bear's Dublin Tweed ss
Thayers Astringent WH w/ aloe
Three Crowns Indian Sandalwood a/s balm
SCS Sandalwood Edt

After another day off from shaving (I like to take a day off after a BBS shave) led me to the Haydn Randall, a square point Solingen that's part of my rotation that does not get used as much as others (maybe then it's not part of my rotation?). Be that as it may, a very good shave with the Mama Bear's glycerin soap that purports to resemble the Green Irish Tweed scent ( I wouldn't know). I like the lather I can produce with it and used it for a head shave as well. The Three Crowns goes a long way and decided to stick with the sandalwood with the SCS Edt, always a favorite.

Yes it does. I especially felt alive when I applied the Alcolado Glacial. While
going against the grain on my neck I've learned it's best not to think about the fact that you're dragging a incredibly sharp instrument (without safety in it's name) over your carotid artery.
