Soap: J.Peterman 1903
the best was the J Peterman soap i love that soap and will be getting some to rotate with the MdC scented,

Glad to hear you found the stuff amusing. Tried that maybe five years ago and was captivated from the get go. Been in the rotation ever since.

Ohhh, I believe there's a 1903 EdT as well. You can ask Carl about that.....heh.

MRGLO
Braveheart Head + Ikon OSS Handle
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Vulfix 404 "Bodger"
Ingram's + Proraso Green

It being a nice warm day, and me being a little sun burnt from the weekend, made me crack out the menthol hit for the shave. Lovely.

I actually found the braveheart head better with the Ikon handle, I think partly due to the lighter weight of it.

 

[bellzy]

Hot towel
Tobs avocado
Merkur 37c
Edwin jagger BB
Rapira (2)
Alum, cold rinse
Skin bracer

Fairly decent shave. Bit rough on the neck though.

 

[Burgundy]

Gillette #88 / Perma-Sharp
Semogue BC Mistura
Proraso red, soap
Myrsol Agua Balsamica

I attacked the beard aggressively this evening and was rewarded with a particularly close shave. I hadn't used the #88 in many months. That is a mistake.
