Friday:
Gillette FatBoy w/new IP blade
Bic Metal
Plisson Black #10
Speick cream
Speick A/S splash
No EDT today
The Gillette razor continues to impress me with great shaves. I had never used the Speick products before but they are very nice.
The cream lathers very nicely (of course, the Plisson has little trouble making great lather).
Have a great day and weekend.

The cost of shaving goods doesn't seem so much after breaking a window in my car last night while packing to go away this weekend. Ho hum.

GEM Contour/Dog's Bollocks
Sabrooney finest 1/2
Trumper's Coconut soap
Lucky Tiger Tonic
Crusella's Lavanda
So there I was, heading to the shave, when all of a sudden I found myself reaching for a GEM razor, having not used one for months. A damn fine job it did, too.

Richard, you're using it wrong. I cut my Erasmic stick in half lengthwise and put both pieces in a plastic bowl. I now lather it directly like a real soap and the lather is way better.
I have the Palmolive but haven't tried it yet. Too many choices.

With a quality soap I can usually get the lather spot-on first time around. I haven't given up on it yet...I'm sure it is a good product, I just need a little practice with it (which bothers me).bernards66 wrote:Richard, My, you do seem to be getting into those shave sticks these days ( chuckle ). Interesting. I liked the Erasmic stick a little better then the Palmolive. But, shave-wise, I thought they were pretty similiar.
