Today's was still working on my experiment soap, but it went as follows:
Hot towel
Derby Blade
61 Fatboy
Avon Wild Country AS balm
Col Conk [Vulfix] badger brush
Avon WIld Country Cologne
3 passes and a buff, got BBS this AM for the Sunday Morning shave!
Jakob, I have a Gillette like that and it is still a good shaver, just a little more aggressive than some. If you are used to a Merkur, give it a try. Great info on the brushes, thanks!
Get yourself some good blades and you are good to go! Don't use Merkur's blades, they make great razors, but their blades are pretty poor. The Gillette's made in Sweden have a great reputation and I like Derby's for their mild nature and consistency. PM me your address and I'll send you some to...
Bele, I will keep an eye out for an I2 for you, watch for G3s for me! And Bob's work is even better in person. I've got one of his handles on a Gillette Travel head and it is sweet.
Miss N, if you think that's worth a chuckle, you should hear the really long pause on the other end of the phone when some one gets my work number by mistake...."Sex Offender Supervision Unit, can I help you?"
Hey Carter, glad to see you've come back to the Dark Side of DE shaving! Drop in over at Badger and Blade, you will see several familiar faces there. PM me with your address and I'll send you some different types of blades to try out!
Today's shave
Gillette Long Adjustable
Derby Extra Blade...
It was a long day today and I'm just enjoying a nice cup of freshly ground coffee with cream and sugar. Broke out the Hilo Hattie cup from our Hawaii trip and it is just a nice way to end the day. What's your preference for your evening cup?
The next 2 days are in a sex offender seminar so I get to carry my babies! Pelikan 400 and 215, both with PR American Blue. Woohoo, I even get to dress nice!
This morning's Sunday morning plenty of time shave
