After several attempts to get the lather just right, last night I finally got there. The lather has excellent stability, consistency, elasticity, cushion, and glide. I am going to use it this week to get a good idea of the results. I will cut it with both DE and straights.

German razors on eBay. It's a mint Bing Solingen 7/8". I like the Mauser sign a lot. It's actually a depiction of the three monkeys (not the three amigo's).

Weekend:
38C Classic HD Long Handled Doubled Edged Safety Razor Chrome
Feather Blade
Shavemac 23mm Handmade Nickel Ivory Pure Badger Shave Brush
The Gentlemen's Quarter Orange Patchouli Shave Soap
Hot face cloth treatment
Built the lather in my hand. Doing that more and more with the smaller soap pucks. Hit my average result with ease.


Monday:
Shower
Bath Soap: Musgo Real Classic Scent Bath Soap on a Rope
Shampoo/Conditioner: Avalon Organics Peppermint Revitalizing Conditioner w/Babassu Oil
Shampoo/Conditioner: Avalon Organics Peppermint Revitalizing Shampoo w/Babassu Oil
Facial Wash: Nivea Sensitive Skin Facial Wash Deodorant: Burt's Bees Herbal Deodorant
Shave
Razor: Merkur 37C Slant Bar HD Double Edged Safety Razor Chrome
Razor Blades: Super-Max Double Edge Super Stainless Razor Blades (India)
Brush: Omega 6212 Elegant Silvertip Badger Natural Handle Shave Brush
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest
Shave Cream/Soap: Nancy Boy Signature Shave Cream as pre-shave lather
Shave Cream/Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street St. James Shave Cream
Technique: WTG/45XTG/45XTG
Post Shave
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Classic Virgin Island Bay Rum Aftershave
Cologne: Saint Charles Shave LLC Bay Rum With a Twist Eau De Toilette
Moisturizer: Thayer's Witch Hazel Moisturizing Lotion (neck hollows)

Result: 4.4/5.0 I kept the shave light today. No particular reason. Normally, I only shave once during the weekend but since my daughter had a Tae Kwon Do belt ceremony, I needed to shave both days. So this was my face rest option. I'll probably do the same tomorrow.

Notable shave for two things.

1) First time with the TGQ soaps, incredibly appealing scent, great lather. I will have to work out the optimal brush water/soap ratio, but even with me flapping about adding more lather in the brush, the shave ended up top notch.

2) Anherb conditioner contains menthol, and I know this because I had the coolest eyebrows in town for five minutes this morning when I spilled too much in my palm and applied rather richly across my entire face.

Result: First time with the Red Tip Super Speed after I cleaned it up. Aggressive blade exposure but tamable. We'll see how it does with other blades. I've cleaned up about 7 razors so far. Could probably use a little more but, I got them into pretty good condition. The shave was 4.2/5.0. I went light due to the new razor and didn't want to turn it into a rough shave. Another cream sample bit the dust today.

I'm still getting a little oxidation off of it for some reason. I really had a hard time shaving this morning. I did some upper body weight training on Monday for the first time in a while.

So be impressed for last year. I HAD a McIntosh MC275 that I sold last year. Age and exposure to high noise levels have left me with the inability to hear the difference between the MC275 and the Onkyo DS989 I use for home theater. So I sold it to someone who could still appreciate it.

The last 2 shaves I started lathering on my face and I think I like it better. Two shaves in and I think I can already feel when the lather is ready.

After using pure Witch Hazel for 2 weeks, I'm going to go with Lucky Tiger for the next 2 and see if there's a difference.

I also started using my right hand more and so far the results are pretty good.

Good shave...had 4 days of growth. Had some trouble spots at the jawline..but didnt want to keep going over it with the Str8 so i busted out the DE. The Palmolive was very slick.

On a side note..if the Aqua Velva doesnt burn when you put it on....does that mean you had a good shave? I got the nice cooling effects after.....but it wasnt OUCH!!

I had a very hard time learning this soap but again....
TripMills are different ;)

Use your favorite soap brush
Soak then shake out almost all the water
Load the brush with as much soap as possible....work the brush on the soap until there is no lather on the soap
Make sure your face is wet and then take the brush to your face.
add dribblets of hot water to the breech until uberLather is attained.

Itll work.
Trust me :D

I did get Uber lather before. Used my standard technique for a triple mill for that and I did it with a scrubby cream brush. :p I just want to soften it up a little to make it easier because I could use this soap as a hockey puck. The Kent wooden bowl lids fit horribly.

P.S. your technique works just as well. :happy096

The Balea Ss was a treat, nice rich lather, good enough lemony scent - very light scent though.. And for you that cares it contains SLS.. But I liked it..

Joe, Cerrus is a nice cream, huh? Some menthol, and a good scent, and plenty of rich lather! ;)

Yes sir, Yes sir! I am not "crazy" about the scent but it is pleasant.........but, the lather, skincare, and menthol-trace make this a very enjoyable lather cream ::
