Monday Morning:
Hot Shower/Hot Towel
1953 Gillette 40's Style SS
Swedish Gillette (Shave #1)
C&E BBB
La Toja Classic SC
Pinaud Clubman A/S
TSD AS Milk
Bottom line, one of the finest shaves I have ever had. The La Toja is such a nice cream. I can't even explain it. It saddens me quite a bit that I'm having trouble finding a new blade that works as well for me as the Swedish G's do. Still trying to find something that I can turn to once my stock runs out. I'd have to say that I get my best lathers when I use my Tweezerman and my C&E brushes. Always very slick and cushioning and always plenty of lather for 3 or more passes. The Pinaud is quickly becoming my favorite a/s. Such a classic scent and evaporates within seconds of hitting my face. A friggin' fantastic start to the day and week. I love it!

Monday 7/27 . . .
- Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: The Dana Brush an Ever Ready 50N Boar
- Cream: TSD Buccaneer
- Razor: '09 Gillette Old Type with Single Ring Handle
- Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 1)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Tone and AQ Skin Conditioner
- EDT: 4711 EDC
- Result: New blade in the old razor today. So a BBS shave with no blood. Use the Dana Brush with a cream today just to see how it worked with the cream. It was not good had to add extra cream and ended up using double the amount I usually use. Not something I will do again. The Buccaneer comes from a sample and while the cream worked effectively I am undecided about the scent.
