SoS: June 22, 2015 - June 28, 2015

Welcome to the Northern Hemisphere, Summer!

For me, the new shaving week starts off like this!

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 6
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Aramis EdT

I would say that this Glacial Wintergreen trio is more than frigid enough, wouldn't you agree?

 

Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Tabac
Omega 11137 Boar
Gillette Black Handle SS
Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Omega 11137 Boar brush. Two passes with my Gillette Black Handle SS razor and a Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)


I will be using ,Afta After Shave Skin Conditioner,not because of Razor Burn
It really does feel very soothing in this humidity and heat.
I will use Williams Mug Shaving Soap
I will continue to use it the rest of this coming week, in Honor of my Father for Father's Day, and my Birthday.
He always used either Williams Mug Shaving Soap or I think Palmolive Shaving Cream in the can. I do remember him using a mug and brush.
He also always used a Gillette Razor of sorts DE/TTO
Maybe after all of these years I have finally learned how to shave?​

SOTD June 22, 2015

Prep: Shower...hot facecloth followed by homemade rose pre-shave oil
Soap: Sterling Naked and Smooth (Unscented)
Razor: Fendrihan DE
Blade: Feather
Brush: Omega Boar Bristle
Aftershave: Hot facecloth followed by Lavender Witch Hazel
Aftershave balm: Shea butter
Mustache Wax: Badger

As expected, the Sterling Naked and Smooth (Unscented) is a wonderful soap...it lathers easily and feels great on the face. There is no scent...just a nice natural earthy hint of tallow. I like this soap. Lubricates well and it leaves a nice clean feeling. No nicks or weepers. A good way to start a Monday morning...I am ready to take on the world...

 

Happy Birthday Patrick...arty:

 

Oh my goodness - my face is so darned frozen after this shave. The Glacial Wintergreen trio did the job beautifully. The soap lathered so well and its menthol sensation clobbered me right away, the matching balm and witch hazel added so much extra iciness with great skincare.

SOTD
June 22, 2015
Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Shield Face Wash
Razor: iKon Shavecraft 102
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Brush: Semogue 1305
Lather: Klar Kabinett
Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Shambala
Nice 3 pass shave. Klar is one of my favorite soaps. The one drawback of the SC102 is its tendency to clog very easy due to the blade gap. This Semogue 1305 will soften or fall apart. I will win!
A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!
