Friday:
Razor: Schick Injector E model Blade: Personna injector Brush: Synthetic Lather: Lord Emofresh Cream Post: Alum, Aloe Vera Gel
Results: BBS for Friday! This was my third shave with the "E", the first was a bloodbath and the second was great, so I was an full alert for this one. The care paid off and it was a very nice, very close shave.

As for "steppin up" to the Penhaligons, the tubes are only $40 for the same amount that comes in the glass jar and isn't 40 bucks just about ten more than your other favorite T's? Perhaps my signature should read: natenabler - justifying the way to luxury.

Gem MMOC Gem SS/PFTE Blade (7) Burma Shave Boar Brush Williams Shaving Soap Vi-Jon Ivy Club Spice
The performance from the Williams was mediocre at best. I can't figure out the problems I have with it these days. For years, it was the soap I used daily for my shaves but now I can't seem to get a decent lather from it no matter what I do - lots of water, hardly any water, and everything in between. It's slick enough but doesn't provide any cushion and starts fading away almost immediately. I want to like it as I did in the past but I'm just about ready to chuck it in the trash. ________ Jeff

Sunday, February 5, 2012 - GEMruary! Prep: Hot shower; Yardley bath bar; Rise gel Coffee: Locally roasted Panamanian w/ cream Lather: Provence Sante Green Tea - face lather Brush: Frank Shaving Finest Razor: Gem OCMM Blade: TP Gem PTFE (3); 3 passes Post: Cold water rinse; Osage Rub + Kiehl's Balm Happy GEMruary! A month of the Gems with the 27th being the centennial of the 1912 patent. Started experimenting with the Rise shave gel as a preshave. It worked perfectly. Add the slickness that I like underneath any other lather & allows me to get a very close shave without any tug & pull & thus no irritation, cuts, or weepers. Oh yeah, & it's only $1 at Dollar Tree! Shave Rating - Splendidly Sublime! A definite Single Blader! God Bless!
