Week of December 26 SOTD - Tuesday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Razor: Iwasaki 2-chou gake (二丁垳) Kamisori |
Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger |
Überlather: Floris "JF" Shave Creme + Floris "JF" Triple Milled Shave Soap + Glycerin |
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
Cologne: Creed Original Vetiver |
Results: I received this Iwasaki a couple of weeks ago and decided to field test it today. Firstly, her tip is certainly mellower than my Hanamasa Kamosori, indicating a less than worrisome shave. Secondly, the blade is much heavier (by weight) than the Hanamasa...I love the feel of this beauty in my hands. The waxed cotton handles provided for a secure grip during my shave. The Floris überlather set the stage for this wonderful shave by providing for a super moisturizing and thick lather and a scent that is out of this world. The Iwasaki had no problem wiping the 24-hr stubble from my face. A beautiful shave indeed; BBS and smooth all the way. |

I am ready for tonight...we are going for a dinner cruise to celebrate my cousin's 60th (surprise) birthday. I am looking forward to seeing my 2nd cousins (some of you may have heard of them, The Hughes Brothers...they produced/directed the "Book of Eli", among other movies)...it's been too long.
2 shots for your viewing pleasure (from different angles). Have a great Tuesday guys:tu.

I broke out the CarrieM "Spicy Cranberry" today (custom scent - LOVE it - and it will be ordered soon after the new year) and mixed in some Cella for tallow action. Fabulous lather. The Duck had a field day in the snow white cushion. BBS all the way. Well, off to pick up the rental car |
