What's new

Last week/SOTD October 15 - October 21, 2007

Kicking off a brand new week of shaving :shaving:.
Monday:
de Vergulde Hand shaving cream
Kent BK4
Gillette Tech with Derby blade
NfMS ASB
ACO caring face cream

Mods, I am a little confused about last weeks SOTD thread as I thought SOTD threads went from Monday to Sunday, while last weeks title claims it ends on Monday the 15th. If I was too hasty with creating a new SOTD thread please delete this one.

Musgo Real AS splash

Trumper Coral Skin Food
Arden Sandalwood EDT

The Dorko blades continue to impress - I got a great shave with my Progress - I dialed it open to 3.5 for final touch up with no irritation whatsoever.

Second shave with Ansgar's freeform bowl - a well made product that really helps whip up a great later in seconds. I think its a little on the short side as the lather seems to want to climb the walls of the bowl. The ridges on the bottom make a real difference.
 
Monday

I suppose this one should belong to last week's SOTD but seeing as my internet router is playing up, I've had to wait until I came into work to post

'66 Slim
Tesco
Sabini Super Badger
Taylor's Lavender
Proraso pre/post

Caron Pour un Homme EdT (A vanilla & lavender indulgence)

I decided to take as long as I wanted with this particular shave as I didn't need to rush out to work

2 passes on the face (WTG,ATG) and an unprecedented 3 (WTG,ATG,XTG) on the neck(all at a leisurely pace) resulted in the best shave that I've ever had

I am excited that I now have reached a significant critical mass of accessories that I can have different SOTDs!
For today (Monday morning):
New Derby blade in a Merkur classic
Proraso cream whipped up in a bowl
with a C&E best badger
1xWTG, 1xXTG, followed up with some
buffing on the throat and chin
No alum block or styptic necessary!
Thayer's lavender witch hazel
Gillette AS balm
Trumper's Skye cologne

I know all the other creams are more pleasant smelling, and I love trying all the other ones (especially my new L'Occitane Cade soap), but every time I use Proraso, I get an excellent shave, even with a so-so blade (Derbys work for me, but aren't the smoothest - that of course is the Gillette for me, and it is just my luck that they are some of the most expensive!).
