Monday, 8/6
Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet-tip Blade: GEM stainless (last use) Brush: Semogue 1305 Lather: Godrej Menthol Mist Post: Alum, Lucido, Clarins soother
Results: BBS on face, DFS+ on neck. Great shave to start the week.
The only negative was the blade... I have not been happy with this batch of GEM stainless blades from Walgreens. Maybe they weren't PTFE coated? I've been spoiled with sharp, smooth SE blades... This batch starts tugging much sooner and is never as smooth. I ordered a batch of blades from EMS, I hope they will feel better than these...

Thursday, 8/9
Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet-tip Blade: GEM Stainless (1) Brush: Semogue 1305 Lather: Palmolive stick Post: Alum, Lucido, Clarins soother
Results: Just got a big batch of GEM PTFE coated blades from EMS. I'm pretty sure they are the same blades sold by Ted Pella. BBS shave! I did go a bit overboard so the alum stung, but it was fun to go for the best shave I could get this morning.

Late Evening Shave Saturday, 8/11/12
OCMM GEM Blue Star Blade Semogue 1460 Boar Brush Proraso Green (new formula) Veleiro AS
The brush, cream, and AS are all new additions.
The SEMO boar brush lathers great. I love the shape of the handle, just wish it was bigger. The bristles seem finer than Vulfix or Omega, more like those in a VDH brush (nothing wrong with VDH). It is a very densely packed brush. We’ll see how it compares to my Vulfix in the long run.
The Proraso lathers great and is plenty cooling. It really works better than the old version. However, to me this new version smells a lot like Noxzema, not sure if I like that yet.
The Veleiro AS is a light contemporary scent. Very refreshing.

CPMM Pella Blade (1) Semogue 1460 Boar Brush Trumpers GFT Cream Givenchy Play AS Lotion Givenchy Play EDT
I usually reserve Sunday for Williams and AV, but I received some smples of Givenchy and decided to try it. Normally I can't wear EDT due to restrictions at work, but as I'm not working today I decided to put it on. Even the AS lasts long so that would rule it out on work days. Pretty good stuff, but I don't think I'll be spending the big bucks to buy some.
