Thread: Sun July 17th - Sat July 23rd

Razor:F.W. Engels Special
Pre-shave:Noxzema
Brush:Rooney pure badger
Cream:Godrej
AS:Thayers Lavender and Avon Spicy
Result:Yet another new cream for me. Great lather full of cushion and glide, wonderful old school barbershop scent and lanolin to leave the skin feeling like a million bucks. The Engels never leaves me with anything less than BBS. Need to run back to the antique store to get some more of this vintage Avon AS as I'm getting towards the bottom of this bottle. Great shaves everyone and have an awesome week.

Thank you Robert. I've been playing at making my own soaps and creams it just adds to the overall experiance of the STR8 hobby.

T.,
The Godrej is a fabulous creme indeed. For such a cheap creme, it certainly performs like a million bucks. Great choice. Love your Engels too

You are quite the artisan soap maker Jim. The benefit is you can put in what you like (no junk)

Thank you The fougere is lovely. I make my own aftershaves, it's been years since I used a store bought one. This fougere is a blend of tonka, oakmoss and vetiver base, lavender, amyris and rose middle, and bergamot, tangerine and ylang ylang top. I am loving it. Since the fougeres is such a large and diverse group of male fragrances, I also have other varieties in developemt. A spicy one, with black pepper and cardamom, a woody one with rosewoods, myrrh and amyris, and and.. heh, I better stop - we're getting off course here

Oh my...that sounds delightfully fantastic Sten

I do apologize gentlemen. I just got home (1:40AM) from a very busy day. I am literally too dead to go through each individual posts now, but please accept my "thanks" for sharing them and my apologies for not commenting on them. Tomorrow will be a repeat of today, but I wanted to get a head start and post my gear for tomorrow (without results as usual) since I will probably be a bit rushed.
