SoS: Oct 30 - Nov 5, 2017

Once again I need to begin the new SoS thread earlier than I would have liked to because we're going to visit my Dad.

Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented AS Balm
B&M Arctique AS Splash
Givenchy Gentleman EdT

A big-time face freeze and back to my cherished Super Speed!

 

Enjoy your visit with your Dad.

 

Menthol Monday's OC Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Fine Snake Bite
Jayaruh #229
Gillette Sheraton
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Fine Snake Bite Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #229 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Sheraton razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

RECENT SHAVES

Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Gillette Rubie
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: WTF Christmas Time
Post: B&M Latha Tagia


Decided to break out the pine/basalm/fir type scents even though it is a bit early. Love the performance of WTF soaps and the scent of Christmas Time is nice and strong, one of my favorite pine scents in the den. Finished off with Tagia balm.




Prep: Occams Crushed Lime
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Gillette Black (1st shave)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: Grooming Dept Basique
Post: Proraso Woods and Spice balm, Lucky Tiger


Epic shave yesyet day morning. Performance of Grooming Dept soaps is incredible, and the scent of Basique has got stronger then it was at first use. I can't tell if I prefer the vegan formula or the duck tallow, but both are supurb. Got a perfect BBS with no irritation. Finished off with Proraso Woods and Spice balm.



Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Gillette Black (2nd shave)
Brush: Fine angel hair synthetic
Soap: Victory Shaving Rosie
Post: Local Gent Anubis balm



Had a smooth shave this afternoon. Really like the rose sandalwood scent of this Rosie soap. Performance is quite nice, have noticed the soap lathers best when water is added slowly rather than all at once. Finished off with LG Anubis balm, face is feeling smooth and refreshed. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

 

Very good lineup .

WOW!! God I've missed Speick Aftershave Lotion the light blue/red label gave me a very quick sharp burn feeling for about 10 second after my shave, I'm still loving my SS General follow by Route 66 ~ Barbershop Hop shaving soap with lanolin which is a light, clean, slightly sharp powdery barbershop scent very slick and very thick lather.

 

Great picture, Roby!
