SOTD: Monday August 17 thru Sunday August 23
Thursday Morning:
Hot Shower/Hot Towel
1972 Gillette Super Adjustable (Set at 4)
Swedish Gillette (Shave #2)
Omega Stripey Badger 63171
Palmolive SC (American)
Old Spice A/S
TSD AS Milk
Another fantastic shave from the Black Beauty. I think the setting of 4 is just about perfect for my skin type. Not too mild but not overly aggressive. The American Palmolive cream is not a great performer. The European version annihilates it, but, I LOVE THE SOAPY SCENT! And it works well enough. The Old Spice finish made for a pleasant completion of the shave. A decent way to end the week.

Good Thursday all...
A.Feist Lunawerk 5/8 and Gillette Tech w/ Kai blade
C&E BBB
Tabac ss
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Lucky Tiger as & face tonic

Got a very nice first pass and decided to finish up with the Tech and Kai as I was going to use that for my head shave. I am getting better with my left hand with the straight although that upper lip area is a bear.
