Shave of the Day

Gentlemen,
  This seems to be a popular thread on many of the wet-shaving forums, and I thought it would be nice to do this here as well.  Here's how it works: just reply to this thread posting the hardware(razor, blade, and brush) and software (Soap/cream, aftershave) that you used for that day's shave.  This would be a good way for those new to the idea of "Shaving like your Grandpa" to see what products are out there and a good encouragement for the rest of us!

I'll begin!

Today's shave 5/27/2010

Merkur Slant DE
Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (Green label)
Van Der Hagen Boar brush
Proraso shave cream
Witch Hazel
Proraso aftershave balm


There you are fellows!  Let's see those shaves!

Cheers!
Aaron

Mark,

What is the Floid's AS like?  Does the scent compare to anything else?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,

No, there's nothing around that I can compare the Floid to. It's a very unique scent.. A little sweet with a nice touch of menthol. There's a blue version that's nice as well but it smells too close to Aqua Velva to me to make it as special as the original.

Mark
