This morning:

*Warm water
*Zhenobya Aleppo soap from Syria
*Noxzema Classic shaving foam
*Star Kampfe Bros. 1902? - GEM PTFE (2) - W+ATG
*Cold water
*Allume di Rocca naturale as pre AS
*Edelstein Edel 45 AS
*Tüff Sensitive

That was definitively one of my best shaves ever. Using the Kampfe Bros. without any pressure and in an angular degree between 25 to 35, it gives me such a smooth shave. It`s a great pitty that Noxzema doesn`t produce the shaving cream in tube anymore. Although I am normally using shaving soaps or creams, the Noxzema Classic shaving foam is really good and I like the scent of it very much.

Still comparing LEA sticks:

"Old" LEA stick + New Forest 2213 + UFO U2 "Long" with Muhle R41 2010 and Gillette Platinum #4 + LEA balm with Aqua Velva lotion


Many years have passed since I tried last time this stick. I haden't good memories about it, but today I was surprised: it is more "foamy" than modern lanolized stick and you can shave without much problem if you uses good razor and blades like today. It doesn't have remarkable propiertes anyway, but I must continue comparing both sticks to get strong conclusions.


Cheers!

Good Morning !
~06/26/2012~

Semogue 1800 \\ Muhle R89 w/ Red IP \\ Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba \\ SMN Crema Da Barba \\ Nancy Boy Cooling After-Shave Gel

There have been quite of few review/comparisons between SMN and the ever so famous Proraso/Omega SS. I used to have the Omega SS before I sold it off as a deal on BST. It was the old formulation and was practically the re-branded Proraso SS. Is there a difference? I do think so b/c of the added Lanolin. The post shave feeling ranks higher. Also the lather is a bit creamier as well as moisturizing/protecting. But this is in no way saying Proraso should not be purchased b/c I believe every wetshaver should own on and try it! BTW this NB ASGel pairs well with anything menthol. Have a great day my Friends!

Tuesday Morning Shave

Blend of EJ Sandalwood SS + TOBS Eton Hall Cream
Simpson Colonel X2L
Georgetown G5 Scuttle
Gillette Gold Ball-End Tech
Astra SP (6)
Alum block
SCS Sandalwood from Wood

The aggressive Eton Hall scent totally obliterated the mild EJ Sandalwood scent. But the EJ added to a glorious gob of lather which made for a very pleasant shave. CCS in 3 passes.
