SOTD 14Jul15

I know that I have not posted for a couple of days. Been having some problems with my hands, and have really not felt like shaving at all. I do not have any pictures to post today.
Today I literally used three different razors. On the Right side of my face I used my Weber 3pc. S/S Polished Head 85 mm Classic Handle {This is my Preferred Razor & My Favorite} * I also used my "Oscar 11" Custom 24/48mm TGN Super Finest Black & White Resin Handle ** {This is my Favorite Travel Brush & Most Cherished}
I used my VDH Luxury Mug Set. It was filled with a Sample Soap that I am testing for a person that makes soap (more on that later) I used this soap and brush on both sides of my face. On the left side of my face I used my 1967 M-3 Gillette Knack TTO/DE {issued to me in Boot Camp} * On both sides of my face I used a new razor blade that I moved from on razor to the other razor. The razor blade used was a Wilkinson Sword Classic DE Blades Black Container. I also used a Wilkinson Sword Tech3 Disposable Razor.
On one side of my face I used Cold Water, On the other Side I used Warm Water, On my third pass I used Hot Water. Here below is part of my review:

Ease of Lather......Cold Water so so
Ease of Lather..... Warm Water a lot better
Ease of Lather ......Hot Water IN MO Best
Cushion/ Protection I did not use any Pre-Shave Oil at all. There were no Nicks or Weepers & or Razor Burn. IN MO Excellent
Post Shave No razor Burn what so ever even with me having problems with my hands going numb.
Overall Quality, I would venture to say you have a winner here. You can say that you do not need Pre-Shave Oil at all with this soap.
Brush: I used my "Oscar 11" Custom 24/48mm TGN Super Finest Black& White Resin Handle. {This is my Favorite Travel Brush & Most Cherished}
Razors: I used my "Weber 3pc. S/S Polished Head 85 mm Classic Handle"{This is my Preferred Razor & My Favorite} for first pass.
Second pass I used my : 1967 M-3 Gillette Knack TTO/DE {issued to me in Boot Camp}
I used Wilkinson Sword Classic DE Blades Black Container For my third and final pass I used Wilkinson Sword Tech3 disposable razor.

Usually I only use I only use either a Wilkinson Sword DE Razor blade or a Schick Xtreme3 Disposable Razor... I no longer use the Schick Xtreme3 Disposables, and have been using only Wilkinson Sword Tech3 disposable razors. For touch up and third pass.

Doing this I got BBS results. On the left side of my face and right side I did shave WTG-XTG-ATG. On my third pass I did WTG-XTG., today I used a new aftershave balm that I received from Tiki Bar Soap . I used Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. Also this was approximately a four day growth after I used an Conair Beard Trimmer, to shave because I could not hold my DE/SS Razors. I did not want to end up in the ER to have my neck or face stitched up I'm ugly enough as it is.
