Razor: Schick M2 Adjustable Injector on 3.0
Blade: Chinese Schick Injector Blade
Brush: Shavemac 22369
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Cream: Taylor Lavender
A/S: Pashana Classic Aftershave

A great shave! My face was a little raw after yesterday's shave so I reached for the injector...a mild yet efficient shaver. The TOBS cream was slick and protective and I enjoyed a hassle free BBS shave. The Pashana aftershave was just what the doctor ordered...very nice indeed.

Sunday 12/6

Semogue 1305
C&E Sandalwood Shave Soap
1912 Gem w/ ornate travel handle
Ted Pella Gem
Thayer's Medicated Superhazel
Osage Rub

Not the best shave today. I decided to use the Gem because it has been sitting there with a blade in it for who knows how long. Not the best idea, especially with using a new soap. Something was burning my skin by the end of the shave - probably a combination of the soap and rough shave. New products tend to burn or irritate my skin the first use or two. The soap has a nice enough scent, although I wouldn't call it a true sandalwood - more like a blend.

12/6

Prep:

[/color] Hot shower
[/li][li]Brush:[/color] Tweezerman
[/li][li]Cream:[/color] TSD subzero x2 menthol
[/li][li]Razor:[/color] Rolls Razor
[/li][li]Blade:[/color] Rolls wedge blade
[/li][li]A/S:[/color] Thayer's Superhazel Witch Hazel Toner & TSD Subzero x2 menthol + lanolin milk splash
[/li][li]Result:[/color] Second time with the Rolls much sharper but I don't think I stropped it enough since there was a little bit of tugging at the end and I still can get the hang of WTG pass on my upper lip. Much better overall shave this time though just need to tweak it a little more.
