Spring?! We're into autumn here... sigh. It does have it's beauty, but I'd like more sunshine.
Tuesday
Razor - E-3 Schick Injector Blade - Ted Pella (1) Cream - Proraso AS - Bodyshop Macca Root
This was my first injector shave ever, and I enjoyed it, I think. The razor felt like an old friend, but it was just a little TOO easy if you understand what I mean. It felt like I was cheating... but gave me a great shave, and it was VERY quick too. I'll keep it in rotation, but just for days I need to shave quickly.

A common theme with injectors. They are almost,,, cartridge-like. But I really enjoy using them,especially the older models, for some reason.

Well did not shave all weekend.. but with family and things.. do had a lot of good growth.. what to use.. well duhhhhh
Gem Micro maric OC Some blade that was in there from last use and still good. VDH Boar Williams Mug Shave Soap WH Barbasol Brisk
Ok have not used the Barbasol in a long time. The Brisk is like skin bracer.. green and menthol and a splash of heaven. Loved the whole shave.

Semogue 1305 Speick Stick Wilkinson Empire Model with Wilkinson Sword Wedge Blade Speick AS & Balm
Speicktacular...stropped up the wedge blade good this morning...a little too much pressure trying to get a BBS result left a little irritation but it did calm down and an hour later the end result is a DFS.
