Thread: Sun - July 07th - Sat July 13th

Just needed a shave of any description this morning as my ass was draggin'
No preshave at all
Wilkinson Sword Shave Soap
Gillette Slim set on 3
Drugstore Boar Brush
Aqua Velva Ice Blue Classic

Have a good one fellas!
Mike

Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Robert Williams SRP
Brush: Semogue 610
Cream: AOS Sandalwood
A/S: Pinaud Clubmam

Result: A fine super early morning shave. I was down to a smidgen of the AOS sandalwood, and it was pretty dry and hard, so I used the Semogue boar brush which did a good job of turning the last of this superb cream into a luxurious lather for this morning's shave. I may pick up some more at some point, however, I am working on using up all the creams I have as I prefer soaps. It's going to take a while, like maybe a year or two. Anyhow, you all have a good Wednesday.

Wednesday 10th July 2013

Prep: Hot shower, Gillette Pre Shave Face Scrub
Razor: F.W. Engels 5/8. Superbly honed by Os
Soap: Col. Conk Lime
Brush: Century Pure Badger
Scuttle: None/Face Lather
Post: THAYERS Original Witch Hazel
AS: ARMANI Sport code

Today's shave included two new items which I was very happy with! The Semogue 620 and the Gillette Silver Blue DE blade.

Pre: Hot shower with conditioner on the beard.
Razor: Grandpas hand-me down Gillette (Not sure of the model as the underside has alot of tarnish and I can't read the info).
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: Semogue 620
Cream: Proraso Blue
Post: Cold water splash, Alum and some Nivea sensitive skin balm

Over all the shave was great after two passes, did a slight third pass on my chin for a BBS save all around. Can't say enough good things about Proraso Blue and the Gillette Silver Blue. The Semogue 620 still needs to be broken in, but i'm sure with time it's going to be a fantastic brush. Enjoy your shaves everyone!
