SOTD 16-22 June 08

Cerave face wash (not manly, but dermatologist recommended)
Merkur HD
Israeli Personna (red pack) - 2nd shave with the blade
Nancy Boy shave cream
Nivea sensitive after shave

This week's setup:

• Col. Conk Bay Rum soap
• Vulfix #2233 brush
• Unknown English Gillette razor (looks a bit like the #58, but not sure of the exact model -- recently acquired it from an antique market)
• Feather blade
• Proraso Liquid Cream ASB

Fantastic shave this morning, so I might have something to look forward to this week.

Used my latest Shaving Weapon.... Shown below,... The Edwin Jagger Bulbous Razor.... actually slightly larger than the Merkur 38C which is considered a pretty hefty razor in its own right.

*** Pictures taken Pre-shave...Post shave comment- The Edwin Jagger is a nice razor... Will it supplant the 38C as my favorite razor?!? Nope!
