    The Speick Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 Boar brush. I did two passes the Schick Krona razor and Wilkinson Sword blade, and 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 Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tonight's shave was with a vintage Japanese Razor. This was touched up on the SB Arkie, and was popping hairs easily, all the was down. It is a somewhat large stiff blade, and it isn't as comfortable as I would like. I will mess with angles more, another time. I had a 2 pass shave, with touchups. Near BBS results, without issues. Its a good razor, but it is still a second stringer even if the results are fantastic.

    Razor- Japanese 飛燕 HIEN 東京. Feels like Swedish Steel.
    Brush- Semogue 1305 Boar
    Soap- ARKO/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

    Great looking shave and photo. I always wanted to try Glacial, but it is fairly hard to find. Once in awhile I see it on Amazon, but I think they gouge the pricing and I keep looking....

    I bought mine almost 2 years ago from Caribbean store called Sams247 and it was dirt cheap back then. I went and checked the store and of course out of stock. I did see that on the bay someone is selling the 4oz version for $9.99 shipped

    Had a swell 3 pass shave today. The Labelle soap makes a thick lather and is a very underrated soap. Not the closest shave, but it was enjoyable anyways. Finished off with some Musgo Real balm. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    Menthol Monday - I swear I planned this before I won the PIF yesterday!

    Reef Point makes excellent lather and aftershaves. I got thick and slick lather easily and protective enough for me to skip the XTG and go straight to ATG without drama. This is one of my favorite balms because it has a bit of menthol and leaves my face soft, smooth and smelling great. [​IMG]

    Damn, I wish my eyes would stop tearing already - this menthol bombardment from the Glacial Spearmint soap, balm, and Arctique aftershave did a hell of a number on me. (But I loved every second of it!) Not only is my face mega-BBS from the new Astra in my Super Speed and frozen solid, the skincare of these products is absolutely wonderful! :happy088: :happy088:

    WTG, touch-up

    Nice and easy Monday shave with Stirling Sandpiper. The Schick E2 took care of two days of whiskers with efficient ease. Incredible, shiny, and slick lather led to smooth results. This is a nice way to start a long work week.

    Have a great day!

    Day 29 of 30 days of Henckel straights

    2 passes today and a DFS. Using a straight has definitely gotten easier over the last 59 days. This was a bloodless shave until my razor slipped off of the counter and I decided to catch it in mid-air. Yes, I have heard the phrase "never try to catch a falling knife", but it was pure instinct. Even with the cut on my finger, which is actually much smaller than many I have put on my face, this was a good shave.
