I put a little menthol in my Monday. The Derby chream shouldreally get more attention. Expected awesome ER 1912 shave with the Fuller brush/AOS badger. Finished it up with daylogic Brisk.

Pretty dang good shave tonight. Been awhile since I've used the Valet but man is it nice and aggressive. Will probably go on an aggressive SE kick for a bit.

I am using my GEM Frankenskeene this week: Damaskeene base plate and wooden "Darwin" handle. Menthol Monday's Shave
Proraso Pre Shave Ingram Shaving Cream Semogue SOC GEM Frankenskeene (Damaskeene base with wooden "Darwin" handle) Sha-Ve-Zee SE CWR Thayers Peach WH Florida Water I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Semogue SOC brush. I did two passes with the GEM Frankenskeene Razor with a Sha-Ve-Zee SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... Edit: This was the second shave with this Sha-Ve-Zee SE blade. I dried it and belly stropped it after the shave. I will be using this blade all week. It was a very smooth shave. Love that razor handle JR, looks very nice!

Mon 18th June Omega 11137 Lea Classic soap ATT SE1 Schick Proline [ 7 ] Lea Classic A/S Lotion After a superb Shave with a Type F, there was a good chance of another one today as whisker re growth vastly reduced. I made sure that would happen by using the ATT SE 1, and had a satisfyingly easy Shave with a finish second to none. Not sure if I will take either of these Razors on an overnight trip tomorrow, as Sister in Laws Bathroom is not the best shaving environment.

I've kinda gotten caught up with this Floating Head Syndrone.....It's not intentional....And I'm not trying to say it's the BEST razor on the Planet or even in my Shave Cave....BUT... IT Sure is likable and soooo soo easy to get a great shave.....I've been pairing it with the Barbasol Extra Moisturising Cream....which has vitamins and lanolin and aloe...and it's got so much good stuff in the ingredients it's silly. But it really does do a number on moisturizng my skin...AND!!! It makes shaving soooo fast! And when paired with this razor..... Now I like to take my time and not rush my shave time....but this last week or so, I'm having alot of fn with streamlining my shaves and experimenting for the most efficient and quick but still SUPER shave... Todays set up is hard to beat....It certainly could b matched....but for some reason my hand keeps involuntarily reaching for this razor.....And I'm curious how long this blade in this razor combo will continue to kick Whisker @$$!!! Prep: NONE LATHER: Barbasol Razor/Blade: 1973 Personna Floating Head/Schick Pro-line B-20 d5 Post: Patented Fuzzy's Witch Hazel clean up pass AS: Skin Bracer/Clubman Original, a splash a piece, nice cocktail, mixed on my face. Dats it....2 pass BBS plus a3rd Fuzzys W-H Clean up pass, or half pass. Not neede, but this is what we do... I apoligize for how busy this photo is....no time, it is what it is....Just keep it as a thumbnail and it works...}8^))

Awesome shaves folks!! Running behind fast shave today. Or at least more rushed then usual. The Schick 66 was awesome. I put a bit of Tabac into Tuesday and used my TODT LE!! Finished up with some dollar store smells like old spice in a vintage latern decanter. Great shave all around!
