The end is near. The end of 2010. As we begin the holiday season tell us what you are using to keep the face well shaven.

- Prep: Noxzema Skin Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Knotty Roddy Refurb with TGN Grade A Silvertip Knot
- Cream: Floris Sandalwood
- Razor: '02 Kampfe Bros Lather Catcher with 2 piece handle
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 6)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & AV Musk AS
- Result: Wonderful BBS shave. Although I really needed the Oil Pass today as the first three passes did not even give me a DFS. May have been technique or maybe the blade is going away quicker than usual. No EDT cause I just love the musk smell of the AV.

I had actually not tried the AV Musk until Alan sent me some here awhile back. I am very glad he did. The stuff is great. I have Barbasol Musk that I like... but it is not even close to being as good as the AV. IMHO

That's what a barbershop smelled like when I was a kid and younger man.

Gem Micromatic Open Comb
Gem SE Stainles Blade
Vulfix # 5 Boar Brush
Proraso Shave Cream
Humphreys Witch Hazel
Stetson Original AS
Stetson Cologne
Great close shave with the MMOC. I usually reserve this razor for Sunday morning, but I just got a Gem Jr. and want to try that tomorrow. I've got a regular 1912, but have never owned or used a Jr. before.
The Stetson is great. I'm glad you folks spread the word that Wally World had it on sale.
John (jcmyers) did I read your post right? Is there a new Williams out there?

Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial 2 Cream: Cremo Creme Brush: Vie-Long 16728  Wring 2x. 2min15. 2 pass. Dried within seconds. Rework 1st. Sans moisturiser. This was no different from before perhaps I should add more dollop as I did last time to yield at least 3 pass. However this was remaining sample my buddy had given me. |

Gem Jr.
Gem Stainless SE Blade
Vulfix # 5 Boar Brush
Williams Mug Soap

Aqua Velva Blue
First shave with a Gem Jr. I picked one up so that I could see what the difference is between the Jr and the 1912. Just like everyone said, the Jr is a little milder. Great shave.

Razor: Rolls Razor Cream: Prairie-Creation JDM Cherry Blossom Brush: Vie-Long 16728  Wring 2x. 1min15. 3 pass. Sans moisturiser. This is very nice scent it's not overpowering and just done right. I love it. I could lather for hours on end and not realise it. Much better shave compared to yesterday's. |
