I was able to use JoAnna's cream without any irritation at all. I think maybe there was some residual edt or something left on my face the first time. I have heard alot about the Musgo cream and finally thanks to Mike I was able to use some. Indeed it is very good with a very clean and crisp scent.

Instead of going ATG try to shave using a pattern similar to this < when going ATG. This will be much less damaging to your neck and with practice you will be able to achieve BBS just the same. The right side of my neck grows E-W so using a straight here is a peril to say the least. I use this pattern to achieve BBS on that side. Once you reduce the stubble one easy ATG pass should be enough.

No shave Sunday. Using my "new" Richwood razor, I butched myself under my chin on Saturday. It appears to be an aggressive razor and future use will determine that.

Shave for Monday:

Avon Driven pre-shave scrub
C&E BBB
Gillette Milord with Swedish Gillette day 2
Erasmic Shave Cream
Aqua Velva Classic

Tomorrow will be the last day for the AV 5oz bottle. The new 7oz will be placed next to the new 7oz bottle of Skin Bracer.

Vulfix 2334
MB Almond Soap
Ayars Bowl
Gillette Superspeed with Derby Blade
Witch Hazel

She proceeded to tell me.....you do this all the time....seems like alot of work..i told her to calm down.and relax.....lathered up both of her arm...and went to work. She wanted a North to South and South to North pass. She was shocked at how nice the lather was. She said, that her can stuff doesnt work as well and she loved the smell. She then stated after we were done..."Maybe you can buy me a soap and brush....then you can tell all your shaving buddies you got your sister into wet shaving" ROFL

Yes, I do. For a number of reasons

1. Less Mess
2. More defined Quantity of applied product
3. The less contact your hands have with your face, especially after a shave.....the better

Have an outstanding day!

Glad you had a great shave.

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone --
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

Result: OK, it was a 4.7/5.0 shave day. Go figure. I thought it was going to be a disaster the way it was going. I used the Ogallala shave soap as a bath soap as a said I would but then decided to use it as my shave soap too. Why not? I mixed it with the C&E Nomad cream to help it out. Nice scent combo it turned out to be. The Ogallala was true to form and the lather sucked. It even killed the Nomad cream. Nice lather goes on and poof! It disappears. Arrgghh... not only that by it was tugging the Open Comb. The blade was day three so maybe that was it. I went through 2 passes that way and then got desperate and put some Nomad right on the brush and lathered it on my face. Much better. Saved the shave and my face. I cleaned everything up and then prayed I didn't create a Martian Landscape out of my face. Slapped some Ogallala AS on it and looked. Damn, I lucked out. Not only that, it was BBS all the way. Phew. Shave God was smiling on me today.

Anyway, I tossed the blade and will try it again with a new blade from the pack tomorrow.

Its the shave soap Klaus TOSS IT ! The La Riana Sucks tha Bomb.. the version I have lathers better now but seriously lacks the ability to keep the lather for longer then 30 seconds on your face. this product sells quite a lot the vendor told me but I cant believe its getting so many sales and the version he makes now is atleast better since I told him to change some ingredients but its still da bag. at the moment the version I have is about as good as the Lime preshave from Musgo Real also not to be used as a stand alone soap but great for pre soaking /super lather making so use the Riana like that a pre-shave.

The vendor gave me as a tip use VERY litte water on these soaps/brush perhaps that helps. I dont think the blades are bad.

sorry you had to go thru that you could have asked me been there done that have the T-Shirt. I hope the VGH Bowl will make up for ya disaster..

A superb shave. I attribute this to two things, putting glycerine in the water used to soak my brush (a la Trader Joe, thanks bud!), and trying out J-hooks on the neck where I get all that grief if I just do repeated ATG passes. The lather was superb, and the shave equally so.

I am just sad to report that my Cade has turned into an unscented soap. Must have bought some old stock at the L'Occitane store. It performs great, but I loved the smell when it was new.

Its the shave soap Klaus TOSS IT ! The La Riana Sucks tha Bomb.. the version I have lathers better now but seriously lacks the ability to keep the lather for longer then 30 seconds on your face. this product sells quite a lot the vendor told me but I cant believe its getting so many sales and the version he makes now is atleast better since I told him to change some ingredients but its still da bag. at the moment the version I have is about as good as the Lime preshave from Musgo Real also not to be used as a stand alone soap but great for pre soaking /super lather making so use the Riana like that a pre-shave.

The vendor gave me as a tip use VERY litte water on these soaps/brush perhaps that helps. I dont think the blades are bad.

sorry you had to go thru that you could have asked me been there done that have the T-Shirt. I hope the VGH Bowl will make up for ya disaster..
Thanks for the heads-up there, Rene!
From what I read on the German wetshaving board the soap should actually be good - except for the lather. I'll try the Russian blades once more tomorrow and then we'll know for sure if it's the blade or the soap :)

I'm definitely looking forward to give the VGH-soap a try soon :drool

Klaus, that VGH stuff is a treat, and a delight. The soap smells so nice, and the lather will be enough for 3 men to shave with! You'll have the time of your life shaving with it.
