SoS: February 13, 2017 - February 19, 2017

Rob, check out Merz Apothecary if you get a chance. I went to the smaller one in the south Loop but apparently the other location has TONS of wet shaving supplies. The smaller store had a bunch but the clerks told me the second location was much better.

 

If this shave was any colder my face would have fallen off, or I would have gotten freezer burn. The Glacial Wintergreen soap is killer-cold with some of the best lather a man could ask for. I cannot believe to this day how moisturizing and soothing it is in addition to the freeze. The matching balm and witch hazel have that same delightful potent freeze and soothing effect. The Arctique aftershave splash should be used carefully and sparingly because otherwise it'll make your eyes tear all day, not to mention how bitterly-cold its menthol effect is. My new Astra in the Super Speed helped to give me a mega-BBS shave and so easily!

 

Happy Menthol Monday!

Palmolive Menthol cream & Country Uncle Silvertip
Edwin Jagger DES86 paired w/Voskhod blade
Witch hazel rinse finishing w/a splash of Floid Vigoroso

Excellent!!

 

Will try Perry!

 

Thanks Jared. Have a great day buddy!

 

I totally agree with you Rob! Schick Xtreme3 are awesome! My daily head shaver. Stay warm.

 

Another wickedly close shave from the Schick I1/twin blade this morning. The Henri et Victoria Cognac&Cuban Cigars scent is absolutely divine. A dab of the roll on Eau de Parfum in the same scent and I'm set for the holiday Monday here in British Columbia (provincial holiday).

I really like Ingram a lot, great clean, fresh and sorta cold cream. I bought Ingram because Jeff uses it! So my first blade I used was a Derby, I had a bad shave, must have been the blades fault? Wrong! Sharp and smooth. The Weber PH is the razor I've always wanted, I'm so happy I was able to get one.

 

Great picture, Roby! Was that taken on Chicago?

I can't seem to get over how well the Parker Variant razor works for me. Always smooth, close and comfortable pretty much regardless the blade used. It is a fantastic shaver for me. Another one of those everything worked well together shaves and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Those Wizamet Super Iridiums are great blades!
