26 AUGUST '9. WEDNESDAY. Wash - Porto Tango Razor - Merkur Long Blade - Grecian BIC Lather - Double Arko Brush - Omega 10077 Splash - Bracer Blue Finish - Seduction. ... Haven't used a BIC in some time, a shame considering the company turns out one of the best blades out there. Arko on Arko's overkill as I think each product does well on its own and find superlathering anything superfluous, but what the hell! ...

Weishi Super Speed w/ Black Ninja (1) Simpson Colonel Brush Floid Sandolor PSG Valobra Menthol S/S Spanish Floid Suave A/S Varon Dandy Colonia Although it was tempting to ride the high plains again with Juniper & Sage, I decided on a menthol blast this morning since we are looking at triple-digit temps again today. The Weishi razor is a new addition for me. They really did a nice job making it. The finish is flawless, and the TTO mechanism is very smooth. It is certainly a mild razor, but shaved very well with the Gillette blade. --Previous Message-- : Tuesday Night: : : Gillette Tech razor (gold, thick handle) : Treet Dura Sharp "Classic" blade : (carbon steel with PTFE coating) : : Rooney Heritage Stubby brush (Medium, Pure : Badger) : Institut Karite shaving soap : : Thayer's Original Witch Hazel (Astringent: : 10% alcohol, no -parabens, no burn) : Brut Splash On Lotion (from the early 1970s) : : The Rooney Heritage brush in pure badger is : very dense.

Harris Almond SC (metal tube) Rooney Finest Merkur 1904 Treet black beauty Thayers peach WH Three things! 1) I do not like this brush. It cost more than 10x the 31064 and is not 1/2 the brush, IMHO. Have had it for a couple of years, summer of 2007, forum related AD, a brush made for Kings... Skata! 2) Although I got a fine shave I did notice that in the 1904, the Black Beauty was not smooth as it should have been; a new wrapped blade from a good pack! What was that about?? 3) The Thayers peach and rose, my wife stole them from me a while back; I guess she used the peach last night cause there it was again! I think they are actually better for your skin than the Thayers After Shave WH!
