Monday my all American Shave
Pal Injeco-matic
NOS personna blade D-1
VDH Boar
Williams Mug Shave Soap
WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
WOW what a nice shave. I think the PAL's do better then the Shicks. I really should use this one more often. Just a single day of stubble but as close to a BBS as I ever get. Beautiful way to start my afternoon for work.

Saturday, 9 July
Schick J1 Injector
K-Mart blade (3)
Burma Shave Boar Brush
Palmolive Shave Stick
Vi-Jon Ivy Club Spice
I got a couple of weepers this morning, one of them fairly substantial. One of the things I remember about the Schick even back in the day when I first started shaving with it as a teenager: it’s sometimes easy to get lulled into the quick, smooth shave it delivers and lose one’s attention. If you do that, you’re going to get bit!

The swan artic blue is good stuff. I use it mostly in my travel kit. Very good knock off of the AV at about half the cost. Fuzzy I'm very fond of the Swan Arctic Blue along with all of the Vi-Jon knnck off AS's (Ivy Club Spice, Ivy Club Classic, Barbasol Brisk, and Barbasol Pacific Rush). Apart from the Pinaud Bay Rum, they're about the only ones I use these days. You can't beat the availability...and of course the price! __________ Jeff |
