No time to squeeze in a shave today.

Thursday 12/15/11

Oxford Warranted 5/8
C&E Best Badger
Erasmic sc
Thayers Lemon WH
Clinique Post Shave Healer
Habit Rouge Edt

A decent shave with the Oxford although it may need a touch up on the barber's hone. It felt as if I was on the edge of nicking myself a few times but managed to get by unscathed thankfully. And today will be better than yesterday.

Brush: Mason Pearson, pure badger
Soap/Cream: TOBS, Jermyn Street Collection
Straight Razor: Muhle R106 Balck + Elios (#4 use)

Comments: Today a DE Shave because I didn’t time to use a straight razor. Very fast shave but a very good and smooth shave. Two passes.

Bad shave cream choice shave

Broker 6/8 King Cutter Roundnose (20 webbing / 50 leather)
Badger brush
Body Shop Maca Root SC
Thayer's
Booster's Polar Ice AS
Nivea Sensitive ASB
L'Occitane Vetyver cologne

My face is red and tight - I'm pretty sure from the Body Shop cream. Its my son's, and I thought I'd give it a try. Nice smooth shave, but my face is red and feeling very tight . Looking back, I think I had a similar reaction when I used it to shave with a DE, too. One more for the do not use list....

I used this razor in honor of Hannah's birthday. The pink wedge was requested because she loves pink and I a great way to further personalize the razor. Second time using this razor, the shave was incredible.
Saw the Doc today. The incisions are healed and I am feeling really good. Off to dinner for Hannah's Birthday!!

Thats great, tell her happy birthday!

This was my favourite shave so far! I'm still pretty new, only been shaving about 3 months with a straight.
What made this so special, is that it was the shave that I had on my morning trip back home after a 6 month deployment to reunite with my family.






Prep: Hot shower in a VERY nice inn.
Brush: Some cheap thing I got in Italy
Cream: Proraso 'sensitive' skin.
Skuttle: Handmade bowl I bought at the top of a volcano.
Razor: Dovo Bismark

Result: Adequate at best, but I sure felt great going home!

Cheers gentlemen.

Happy Holidays.

Welcome Home
I hope I speak for everyone in saying thank you for the service you provided for our country. I hope your homecoming is memorable and that you enjoy the holidays. Your shaves will feel even more special in your own shave den.
