Oh, almost forgot. Uncle Mikey, can I have that damn brush? Sheeesh, that thing is something. Don't recall seeing it before, or maybe I used selective amnesia to keep that monkey quiet.

Blade just didn't feel very sharp - pulled a bit. OK result but not up to the usual standard.
Nice warm shower

Turkish no. 6 shaving brush
Vintage Cusson shaving stick grated into a bowl
Schick M adjustable on 5, 3
Schick Krona blade
Speick aftershave lotion
Very smooth, close and satisfying. Yesterday's shave with a Red Tip, Sharp Edge and Fume was close but very painful. I'd never noticed that the Fume didn't offer much protection so I need to revisit it tomorrow with a different razor and blade combo that I'm more comfortable and familiar with.

Always surprised by how well this mix of cheap sticks lathers. The VIBR gives such an amazing warming feeling on the face, after the initial burn, and smells reminiscent of cola bottle sweets!

Wanted to revisit this extremely old blade from the late 50s I believe. Used em a while back and thought they were better than usual at the time. Turns out I was correct......very nice shave with these. The dispenser is the dark gray one. Heh, the store's original hand written price tag of 47 cents is still on the pack.
Jeez, I am truly hooked on this Xpec stuff. I have used some nice creams like Pens and CF, but I think this stuff is at least as good as the CF and better than Pens. Plus, the scent is haunting and luscious. To my nose, it's what the C&S #88 frag aspires to be.
