Day starts with a shower
Body Shop original shave cream and a custom silvertip brush
Gillette Tech with Derby blade (on it's 2nd shave), 3 pass shave
Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
AOS Sandalwood balm

Great lather with the Body Shop shave cream today, and nice smooth shave, no nicks.
 
Oosic-handled Merkur with a Crystal
Savile Row 3128 Silver Tip
Geo. F. Trumper Violet Shaving Bowl

Crystal seemed to have run out of sharp on this second shave and I had to call in a Feather for a fifth pass to get the finish required. Too bad, otherwise an interesting blade.:frown:

Good Sunday morning all...

Scheonburg 775
Edwin Jagger BBB
Erasmic sc
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real asb
Knize 10 cologne

Finally a complete straight razor shave. I finally watched Lynn's dvd and felt confident enough to go more than one pass. I used the hot towel treatment on a two days growth after my shower and took the Scheonburg out of the drawer where it had been since I received it from Seth...the second pass was smoother (obviously) and I was able to across the grain with no problem. A milestone has been reached.

Sunday, June 28, 2009 --

Vintage Merkur open comb
Feather
C&E pewter handle brush
C.O. Bigelow (Proraso) SC
Thayer's Original WH w/ AV
Proraso Cream ASB

A really nice shave today! I think I could get to like this open comb thing.
 
TSS Shave Oil
Omega Boar Brush
MamaBear's Ye Old Barbershoppe SS
Merkur 15c w/Bic Blade
Speick AS
barclay Crocker Unscented ASB

First time I used a 15c and a Bic blade, got two weepers that will not stop. Used Styptic and it slowed down some. I used my Slant a few days ago so I used the same technique with the 15c. I need to look into this a little more.
