Last Day @ The Office & Good Morning !
~08/10/2012~

Semogue Owners Club 2Band
\\ Merkur 1904 head & R89 Handle w/ Red IP \\ 3P Pre Per E Post Barba \\ Calani Highland Honey \\ Al Raz's ASB Custom "El Tangerino"

So today's was wonderful and was a great SOTD (Start of the day)! Today I tried something new and wanted to experiment, so I paired the Merkur 1904 razor head to my R89 handle
(you can tell by the color combo) and it was quite nice . It was top heavy but it took back to learning days teaching me to use the weight of the razor and to not force it. I apply those rules everyday but today's weight distribution of the razor itself was quite noticeable. Results were BBS with no weepers. Friends, have a wonderful day/weekend!

Greetings B&Bers,


Friday August 10th, 2012


Coffee: Papua New Guinea Kimel Estates Jamacia Blue Mountain Varietal
Prep: Hot Cloth face wash with MRGLO
Preshave: Edwin Jagger Preshave Cream
Soap/Cream: Coates
Razor: Parker 29L
Blade: Crystal IP
Brush: Vulfix 404
Lather: Face
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG
Post: Warm/Cold water rinse followed by Thayer Alcohol Free Aloe Witch Hazel
AS/ASB: Men-ü


It is really nice to be home! I am finding after several uses of the Crystal IP's that it does a much better job and lasts longer than the Derbys for me. The Coates I have has actually lost the moisture out of the tub and is now really a soap. With the use of the Vulfix, if face lathered pretty well and provided very good results. My first use of Men-ü has me on the fence. It is much thicker than I like going on and took a bit more time to soak in. However, after about an hour, it has my skin feeling pretty supple and isn't noticeably greasy.


Everyone have an awesome weekend!
