Monday Arko Shave Stick Omega 10029 1955 Schick Hydro-magic EMS/Personna d2 Rebul Lavanda Colonia Exquisite, Heavenly Shaving Satisfaction.... When I used to see these Schick Type I2's my heart used to quicken a little remembering my Dad using one when I was a kid and these razors were state of the art.....Now when I see one my heart also quickens thinking of me having and using one and what a great shave I get whenever I pick it up...and its still state-of-the-art....

Tuesday
1912 gem Pella D-4 Omega boar C&E Sandalwood soap Wh Musgo real
I was off the last 4 days and did not shave. The plan was to break out a OCMM for this shave. But once I got out of the bath I noted there was not one handy. So instead of running back to the den to grab one from the shelf I opted for tge 1912. Even with 3 shaves on the Pella it was a simple job to mow down the beard. Wonderful shave from an awesome razor. Sorry for everyone who is not me right now.

- Prep: Hot shower and face towel
- Brush: The Ever Roddy. A refurbed Ever Ready 300 with TGN Silvertip knot
- Cream: TOBS Shaving Shop
- Razor: '06 Elite GEM Jr. Lathercatcher SE
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 4)
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner and Clubman Club Complete ASB
- EDT: TOBS #74 Original Cologne
- Result: BBS. Just a wonderful shave. The TOBS Shaving Shop cream has a great citrus scent that lasted the entire shave as well as during clean up until I cleaned out my mug and brush. The lather was soooooo thick and gave the great Elite GEM Jr great cushion and glide. Best shave and most enjoyable shave I have had in several months.

Friday 8/3:
Razors: Schick injector E3, relieved by GEM Micromatic Bullet-tip Blade: NOS Schick/GEM stainless Brush: Semogue 1305 boar Lather: Godrej Menthol Mist Cream Post: Styptic! Alum, Lucido and Clarins soother
Result: YIKES! Bloodiest shave in a long while. I think these NOS blades must have lost their edge or something... Three nicks that required styptic on the first pass! I bailed on the injector and finished up with my Bullet-tip. Lost in the mayhem was the joy of lathering up Godrej Menthol Mist once again... That lather was the one redeeming aspect of today's shave.

GEM OCMM Walgreens SS Blade Vulfix 404 Boar/Badger Brush Godrej Shaving Round (hard soap puck) Alcolado Glacial AS
The Godrej soap is one of those soaps that can be used year round; not too heavy, not too light. The Alcolado cooled me right down on a hot day like this.
