2007.11.14 Shave of the Day

Shave
Razor: Feather Artist Club DX Japanese Style Non-Folding Razor ACD-N
Razor Blades: Feather Professional Blades for Feather ACD-N
Razor: Gillette TTO 1970 Gold Plated, Long Black Handled Super Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor
Razor Blades: Panda Stainless Steel Double Edged Razor Blades
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn Edwin Jagger Made Small Best Badger Brush
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest
Shave Cream/Soap: Kiss My Face Unscented Shave Cream (pre shave lather)
Shave Cream/Soap: Floris London J.F. Conditioning Shave Cream (Citrus Scent)
Technique: (Feather WTG/ATG)/(DE XTG/Cleanup)
Post Shave
Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave w/2 drops Pen Herb Olbas Oil
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc

Result: 4.5/4.6 The Floris J.F. cream is a sample I got from Vintage Blades LLC when I bought something else. I opened up the container and the cream had dried out. No worries mate. Dug some out, put it into the bowl, add water and good as new. Maybe even better. Almost like it had been cured. I put a couple of drops of water into the container to soften it up a bit for next time. There is a reason why I like the Floris creams almost as much as the C&E creams and have them on my wish list. I put a couple of drops of Olbas Oil with the Thayers WH aftershave in my hand before splashing on. Froze my face is what it did. A little goes a long way. I'm thinking of buying a bottle of Thayers WH aftershave and adding some Olbas Oil right to the bottle to make a minty version for myself.
