Monday 2/15

No Name German Boar Brush
Gibbs SC
Autostrop Valet, Model B (Canadian - VB1 Variation)
Feather SE (4)
EW's Wintergreen AS Balm
Keiko Fleur de Peau EdT

Worst shave in a long time...this was the Feather SEs 4th shave and it had sat for 10 days since the last shave. Not a smart move...
The good...the no name boar performs excellent and EW's wintergreen AS balm really soothes the burn. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

[Possum]

• Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  
• Brush: Ever Ready C40 Boar
  
• Soap: The "FAT"
  
• Razor: '02 Kampfe Bros Star Lather Cather with short handle
  
• Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 5)
  
• A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel & AOS Lavender ASB
  
• EDT: SCS Aspect EDT
  
  
• Result: Nice DFS. Being careful with this razor. Seems that the blade stop on the right side is not working quite right. Blade slides past it and the razor becomes super aggressive. Need to look into fixing the razor somehow.

Tuesday Night:

GEM G-Bar Single Edge razor
Treet Super Single Edge blade (carbon steel)

Semogue 2000 brush (barber style, boar)
Cella Crema Sapone da Barba

Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel (Astringent: 10% alcohol, no -parabens, no burn)

Unless I do more than just hand-stropping, 3 appears to be my limit with a carbon steel blade. Even so, it is still my favorite.

Razor: Gem G-Bar & Merkur Futur
Blade: Pal Carbon Steel SE Blade & Super Iridium
Brush: Simpson's Ehsan
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Palmolive Shave Stick
A/S: D.R. Harris Sandalwood

Have you heard the saying that curiosity killed the cat? Well I don't know about that but it nearly maimed the BullGoose. I started out my shave with a Gem G-Bar razor loaded up with a fresh Pal carbon steel blade...a new combination for me. This particular combination did not suite my face/beard/technique at all and I could tell immediately. Ouch! I switched to my trusty Futur and Super Iridium combination and enjoyed an excellent shave. The D.R. Harris Sandalwood aftershave is becoming a favorite.
