just a gentle monday-morning 3-pass shave, trying not to roughen up the damaged patches of skin from yesterday:

MB WASB Cucumber
 
HD with red personna (day 1)
C&E BBB
C&E Sweet Almond Oil SC
Alum
thayer's Rose WH
Pinaud Bay rum A/S
Burt's Bees Bay Rum ASB

This morning before leaving for work: SCS B&B Bay Rum w/ a twist EDT

Man I love the smell of the Sweet Almond...it reminds me of the scent of the blooming sweet olive tree in the garden of the house where I grew up...very sweet, floral..almost like ripe peaches (which I guess makes sense as the almond is a member of the drupe family...related to cherries and whatnot).

that having been said, I got my first subpar shave with the C&E SA SC today...lots of skipping. The culprit, I believe, was not using enough cream. I used a really small amount, but it produced such a large volume of lather that I thought it would be OK...added water until it seemed saturated...but I think it just wasn't enough cream (thus I was shaving with over-airy lather). Next time I will go back to taking Scotto's advice and use twice cream as much as I did for this shave.

Post mortem on last week's use of the Israeli Personnas: What a difference from the Gillette fatboy. I used to get only about three acceptable shaves from a IP in my fatboy, after that it was just too rough and would rip my face up. This week, in the B&B razor, was like day and night. I got four stellar shaves and two good shaves. I'm not sure if I got a "super blade" by accident, but I was mighty impressed.

Man, no need for Alum block or Witch Hazel with TJ's order of AB/AS right after shaving. Nothing I've tried so far has left my face feeling more taught, smooth and clean as this new order of aftershave steps... I think he definitely may be on to something, at least for me... :thumbup1:
