Monday, :roll: whatever...

Schick Krona w/ Astra Platinum blade
Opal handle w/ TGN silvertip
DR Harris Lavender soap
C-M Greenbriar balm, cologne, and talc

I have several Caswell-Massey talcs, and my wife has a several others. C-M does a nice job after the shave, but their soaps and creams are abysmal - wish they would fix that!

Monday 28 February 2011

Razor - Slim Adjustable (set to 3)
Blade - Merkur
Brush - Altesse
Soap - MWF
Toner - Thayers alcohol-free witch hazel
A/S - Sandalwood Skin Food

The Merkur mated nicely with the SA - they seem to play nicely for me. Very smooth shave with no nicks or weepers.

Tuesday, March 1st

Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Shavemac 2007 LE
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: I Coloniali Mango Oil Shave Soap
A/S: Mr. Taylor Splash

The I Coloniali shave soap produced a super slick lather which resulted in an excellent shave. The Sticky/Iridium combo continued to work its magic and the Mr. Talor, as always, was a fine finish.
