A rather quick, 2-pass shave this morning.

Pre-Shave: Trumper's Lime Skinfood
Cream: Trumper's Coconut
Razor: Merkur HD
Blade: Nacet (probably its last day)
After-shave: Alum
After-shave: D R Harris Pink
Moisturiser: Trumper's Lime Skinfood
Cologne: Penhaligon's Opus 1870

I left the Alum on for a minute or two today as I packed everything else away. I got that nice burn that I have been missing. by doing this the CWR had more bite, as did the D R Harris.

Sunday was actually only the third time I haven't shaved since I joined B&B in December of 2006. The PUMA mowed down the stubble this morning in a convincing fashion. Any gentlemen who love their DE's but have a lure to straights should dip their toe in the water. It takes the traditional wet shaving experience to a new level!

*I had my Merkur Classic sitting on the counter, ready to go, but soldiered through and didn't use it.

**I must have done a decent job because the feedback from the AV was promising!

***Feeling proud over the achievement, what else could I have worn?

[Treadstone]

This is the second time I've used the Lavender AOS and I think it is a bit harsh for my face. The Sandalwood and the Lemon versions are fine, but this scent may be relegated to when I want to use the Mach3.

Hey, Mike! That's a really nice photo -- I especially like the composition: the different angles, shapes, and colors... and it's all in-focus!



Tracy Chapman - self titled

I like her early stuff... got her first three albums ("Crossroads" remains my favorite), and they're really relaxing. On WMUD (http://www.live365.com/play/wmud), not too long ago, I heard her do a duet with Taj Mahal -- nice!

When are we gonna start seeing some photos of your SOTD? You know you wanna...

Had such a great shave last time I decided to repeat it:

HD w/ red personna
C&E BBB
TOBS Avocado SC
Musgo real AS
QEDman cypress EO ASC

I had thought the avocado didn't agree with my face, so I haven't used this cream in about 4 months or so...two great shaves in a row! I had forgotten how amazing this cream is (and am pleasantly surprised it doesn't anger the face as I thought it did).

Morning - quick headshave only. I have a 'do' to go to later so will be shaving my face properly at about 1530.

Cream: Palmolive
Brush: C&E Pure
Razor: Bic Metal
Aftershave: Old Spice

Butchered my head with the Bic Metal - waaayyy too rushed, I just didn't give this little disposable enough respect!

So, onto the shave for this evening:

Cream: Trumper's Coconut
Brush: C&E Pure
Razor: Merkur HD
Blade: Gillette
Aftershave: D R Harris Pink
Moisturiser: Trumper's Lime Skinfood
Cologne: Penhaligon's Endymion

I have left out the Alum block now. Last time I used it one of its rough edges actually scratched my face!

Sometimes you can get luck on EBay as long as you don't mind doing a little polishing. Or a lot.

If you are referring to the Boker in your SOTD from a few days ago, that too is a good looking razor!

I am... thank you. It's deceptively thin looking, but its appearance is deceiving -- it's not a full-hollow grind, and it doesn't bend, flex, or skip when it gets to the wiry chin-and-jaw hair. The shoulderless design, with the jimped thumb-arch adds to its beauty and usability.

Smooth shaving!

I recieved my Trumpers sample today, I figured I would start with the stuff I thought I would like the LEAST.

Tweezerman Brush
Trumpers Violet
The "no name" straight (as I affectionately call it)
Thayers Lavender
Coral Skin food

Today I learned what luxury cream is. Simply outstanding. Someone was supposed to warn me that a tiny amount of the cream was plenty for a 2.5 pass shave. A bit flowery of an overall shave for my liking, but close and comfortable. Also, I had enough skin food on my hands to run downstairs and outfit the wife with a faceful.

First bad shave in a very long time. The blade was on its last use, and apparently the wife used the razor earlier in the day. I've seen the way she shaves, so it was not surprising that she dulled it to death (nice of me to blame my bad Valentine's day shave on the valentine, eh?). After the first pass I had 3 weepers and already felt irritated. Changed blades, but quit after the 2nd pass. Damage minimized. You may all breathe a sigh of relief!

Prof,
Can you tell me where you found the Kolnisch Juchten?
The only place i've heard where you can find it in the states is some store in San Fran.,but nowhere online.
Thanks.

[professorchaos]

Wonderful stuff, huh?

You can get decants online at the Perfumed Court but as far as I am aware, the only place in the world to get a full bottle is Jacqueline Parfumerie in San Francisco, 415-981-0858. I think the grand total was $63 shipped and it arrived quickly.

Very, very good shave with only 2 passes. I think this razor is slightly more aggressive than the Gillette New.
