SoS: March 20, 2017 - March 26, 2017

Hey man, nice shot!

 

Wednesday morning:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed Astra day 3
Stirling Black Ice SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash
Givenchy Gentleman EdT

You guys know that I can't stay away from my Stirling treasures for long. This Black Ice soap has a wonderful anise scent, it lathers like a maniac, it delivers very well on the menthol chill and skincare. I'm in love with that Fougere Santal aftershave which my wife gave me as a gift!

 

Nice gear, products and color coordination on this. Do I spy an English Rodney Neep brush from the Pens of the Forest website? I considered having one of these made.

 

Windrose
Personna Super
Nivea créme preshave
Omega 10019
Omega Eucalyptus
Cien ASB

A great headshave, some minor nicks though but nothing a shower couldnt handle.

After that, the Cien ASB comes on which leaves the scalp very soft and smooth, great stuff!

DFS.

 

Thanks brother. Have a great day.

 

Yeah its a 22mm fan. The recent batch of knots I received from TGN were awesome. I found the knots 22mm and larger are quite dense compared to the smaller ones (18-20mm)

 

Tabac Tuesday SOTD

Schick type D razor
Vintage badger & bristle brush
Tabac soap
LEA aftershave
Tabac EdC

Tabac is still one of my favorites.....

 

Early Schick Type I (55) Razor
Personna Blade
Frank Shaving Badger Brush
Klar Shave Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

An excellent razor and blade combo, along with this soap which is my personal favorite, producing a great and smooth BBS shave in two passes. Klar soap produces great lather which is very slick and has really good staying power. And as I've mentioned before, this particular puck is roughly thirty years old, give or take, and has now developed a scent after some uses. I'm not positive, but it seems to have an almond or almond sandalwood type scent, very pleasant.

 

Date: 22 March 2017

Brush: - Semogue SOC 2 Band Badger in Ash Wood 24/53mm
Lather: - Squadron Soap - Sweetheart (pinch a sample from my brother shaving Den)
Bowl: - Omega Via Barberia Ceramic Shaving Bowl
Razor: - Feather Artist Club SS Folding Shavette
Blade: - Kai Captain Titan Mild Blade #1
Post Shave: - T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent / APR Coconut Sandalwood (santal de coco)

I've decided to go to the next level to shave without the guard blade and I choose the Feather Artist Club SS folding shavette with a Kai Captain Titan Mild blade which doesn't have the guard mesh screen for a little while is a long story.

 

Wednesday's March SE Maddness


Dove Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #150
Micromatic Open Comb
CVS SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Speick AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #150 synthetic brush. I did two passes the Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor and a CVS SE blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Speick AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Like the first shot in an ambush Bourbon Jungle has your attention immediately, the moment you open the container. It's rich woody notes of Italian Bergamot, Apple Wood and Tonka Bean rounded by hints of Patchouli, Cedarwood, and Oakmoss, with exotic notes of Cardamom, Vanilla Bourbon and Allspice.
Handcrafted traditional shaving soap formulated for long lasting, slick lather, protective cushion and glide with a soothing post shave conditioning. It just can't be beat. You can order yours today at, http://www.retroshaveshop.com/product/bourbon-jungle/.

Razor- Leon Pelleray. A Paris Bis 17
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy

 

Wed nes Day Shave Plan:

virtually same as today, but switching to the Jayaruh #59 brush. I'm finally making a "dent in the Rte 66 soap.

 

Hi mark, nice photo as always. Love the green Simpson handle. I have to ask, why 2 razors? I just picked up a OneBlade myself and haven't used it yet. Saving it for a couple of weeks to celebrate my 50th Bday. Anyways, how do you like it? Do you not prefer it for some situations during your shave? Just curious until I try mine. Thanks.
Steve
