40's SuperSpeed w/crystal
Penworks 22mm Silver Tip
PC Old Spice
PC Old Spice ASB

1st shave with PC's stuff and boy I gotta say I liked it. Smooth and comfortable shave and a great scent. The soap scent could be stronger in my mind but heck thats a minor thought. I define will have a hard time choosing other soaps to use tomorrow over this one......

Definitely worth the tiny coin it costs...tallow goodness.

Saturday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel/Proraso Glycerin Cleansing Bar
1955 Gillette Flare Tip SS
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (Shave #2)
Omega #80267 Boar
Tabac SS
NOS Shulton Old Spice A/S
Vaseline IRML Lotion

Another fantastic shave with the 7 O'Clock Yellow blade. I might be able to squeeze another shave out of it but it did start to feel a bit dull towards the end of my last pass. I feel like I did a fairly decent job generating a lather with the Omega boar brush and the Tabac shave soap. My only complaint from this set up was the burn I got from the Shulton Old Spice. The Proctor & Gamble formula does that affect me like that at all. A question to pose on the aftershaves thread I suppose. Enjoy the weekend!

14th:

T&H West Indies Lime
BK4
1910 Single Ring that arrived in the mail today w/ a fresh Feather

Not the best shave ever. The single ring is more aggressive that I'd expected!

Ahoï Capt'n!!

Good one! Though I'd much prefer Roy Andersson, much more brassy...
See, as I live there Up North I figured I would have to welcome the Vikings if they decided to return someday, and learned some basics...
Heck, I had to! I'd be front-line, right!??

Though, given where you live, you might as well know a good deal about these Northmen, but that was *years* ago!!

Anyway, back on the SOTD track...
Men, tack så mycket att komma med!!
Ha det bra ni allt!!
