Monday

Vincent TTO
Gillette Platinum (8)
Vulfix #5
Palmolive Soap
Wilkos ASB
Adidas Dynamic Pulse AS

I should have used a less aggressive razor than the Vincent, still got a DFS with a couple of weepers [my own fault], the blade gap on the Vincent is like a Slim on steriods, still the blade still feels good for another shave [a record for me, 8 is my record and that was with a Plat].

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill
DE Razors: Deluxe Vintage + Merkur 39C Slant Bar Safety Razors
Blades: Derby Extra SS
Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Überlather: TOBS Eaton College Collection Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Myrrh Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Post Shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food
Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer
Cologne: Penhaligon Opus 1870
Result: Today was a special treat. I decided it was time to break the mold and my usual routine of shaving with str8s...So, I reached into my shave drawer and took out the box where I had stored my DEs for the past 5 months or so, in favor of str8s. Not today...Talk about an emotional reunion . I prepped my beard with T&H pre-shave oil and überlather and the DE razors with a couple of Derby blades. No sooner than the blade contacted my face, did memories come flooding back..."Total Recall" baby! The vintage deluxe DE was used for a WTG/XTG pass, while the slant came at the end with a slick ATG pass. I had forgotten how wonderful these razors were . BBS shave to kick start this day.

Have a wonderful start of the week gentlemen .

How about taking a chill Gentlemen you are starting the week like there will be no tomorrow.
