Menthol Monday's ShaveThis week, I am breaking out my English Pal Injecto-Matic and Jayaruh #2 Two-band Badger. Cold Water Rinse Eskimo Tuxedo Jayaruh #2 Pal Injecto-Matic Personna CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Pal Injecto-Matic razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

"Eskimo Tuxedo" What exactly does that smell like? All I can think of is BO and seal guts.

Had a great shave with my recently straightened out Gem Damaskeen and a fifth use Ted Pella. I'm glad I didn't give up on this razor after the first shave I had with it after acquiring it in a trade. The head and one of the blade stops where bent. I hadn't noticed it till after a really bad first shave. Now that it's all straightened out it shaves quite well. There's an unmentionable hiding in the vines there that performed well too.

Thanks, the Dammy sat for quite a while because I thought it would be hard to fix. It ended up not being that difficult. You should have seen the misalignment in the blade exposure, I'm lucky I didn't hurt myself on that first shave.

Monday DECember 2 First shave of the month. Not sure what my focus is yet but starting with a razor and brush that are new to me. Bowl/Scuttle - GP12 Soap - MWF Brush - 30DC Blade - GEM SS SE (1) Razor - TNNSER 3D Clear Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, RR Barbershop Blue A/S Shave rating 5 of 5 5 days since last shave and I wanted to give these 2 new tools a try. I've got TNNSER 3D's in 2 other colors so was pretty confident in the shave I would get. Wasn't sure about the brush. I really like the handle but this is my first synthetic and I've never lathered with a synthetic. Well, it lathered really well and applied the lather well too. Maybe I won't have to replace the knot. I did a 2 pass shave, WTG and XTG and both passes were excellent, finished BBS. The MWF lathered really well as usual. The alum was a little vocal in a couple spots. Finished up with the Barbershop Blue A/S - I like this scent, just wish it lasted a little longer. Happy DECember and great shaves everyone.

I think there should be some vintage Colgate showing up.
