Tuesday

Razor: 6/8 Dovo Best Quality
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Old Spice

Well, it finally happened: my first complete shave using only a straight razor! Not BBS, but close...with no touch ups needed at all! Tabac on Tuesday always provides me wonderful lather with my Omega brush and the whole thing was capped off with my favorite aftershave: Old Spice!

Tuesday 10/18/11

Es-Ex 3118 6/8
Semogue 830
Cella ss
Thayers Lemon WH
KD Creations a/s balm

Back to the straights with the Es-Ex this morning. The Cella and Semogue provided a great lather and another fantastic three pass shave followed. And today will be better than yesterday.

@ace: Thanks but in Doha airport for a couple of hours this time to change planes (I'm taking QR on the way to Seoul end of November). May be next time...

Good luck on your next journey Konstantinos, one thing you can look forward to when you get to Korea, 100 meg broadband speeds, also the Oriental Women sure know how to treat their Men well, very attractive young ladies indeed. Hope you are back online soon.

Razor: Puma 'My Darling', Weishi DE w/ Shark Super Chromes
Uber: RazoRock Cacao / Georgetown G1 Scuttle / Tweezerman Best Badger
Post: Alum - Humphrey's Witch Hazel
AS: Poblamo Piccasso Minotaur ASB
EdT: Avon Signature

I really needed a nice smooth shave today, so I started with the Puma, but just wasn't happy, so I went the rest of the way with the DE. I did a full 3 pass shave with the DE and was rewarded with a classic BBS. Now I want an adjustable.

No pictures until the grocery store run for some batteries.

Have a great day folks!!

Good luck with the move and new job, sounds fantastic, if you ask me! ... and you should have something waiting when you arrive to Greece, but if I know you, it won't be the only parcel waiting there, lol.
