SoS: February 29, 2016 - March 6, 2016

Great stuff as always. Funny I considered lime & bay rum...maybe Tuesday.

 

Thanks Roger!

 

Since February 29th only happens once every 4-years, I thought I'd plan out my SOTD............

Proraso cream bowl lathered w/Omega 6151 Pure badger
'48-50 Aristocrat w/Wilkinson Sword blade
WH rinse followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/Floid aftershave




The next time Menthol Monday happens on Feb 29 is 2044...............

 

Ikon Slant/ Wilkinson (not a great pairing)
Envyshave Alluminati
Gentlemens's Refinery
Still got a great shave despite the poor match of razor and blade. Generally I like the Wilkies but I won't be using them in the Slant again.

 

Monday - 29/02/2016 - Shave
Razor: Gillette Tech with Personna Handle
Blade: Rapira SS (2)
Soap: Proraso Green Tea & Oat
Brush: Isana Men Pure Badger
AS Balm: Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol

I usually use proraso pre-shave cream before the shaves but its a magnificent choice as an after shave balm, the best I've ever experienced.

 

The Shaving Shop/ Gingers Garden/ Acqua di Florida
Vulfix 660S Medium badger & suribachi bowl
O.C. 3 piece Frankenrazor and Rapira SSS blade
Alum block and Murray & Lanman Florida Water

Great tallow soap from our @soapbuddy at Gingers Garden. This might be the first time I've used a badger brush with it. Excellent lather, creamy thick & slick. Swapped a different blade into my newest razor. Cheeks and chin feel smooth, but I just can't get a Gillette Slide from this open comb head to work on my neck. This "Bostom N.R.K." base plate is a mystery. Still & all, a good shave.

 

Awesome gear as usual. Im a sucker for a vintage badger brush any day.

Good morning my friends. Very exciting morning, yesterday evening with some help from @Redfisher I joined the East Coast Bunny pass around! Tom suggested I pick up a Type E or G for practice. I'm seeing some crappy stuff on the bay. If anyone has a decent one for sale or a loaner please advise. On to my shave, I must be some kind of abominable snowman! Twice the ice today with Cryogen and Proraso Green for a fantastic blizzard of face freezing uber lather.... The R41 continues to amaze, especially with the Rapira Platinum Lux...what a smooooth blade. The Omega Pro #48 is such a great brush...why haven't I been using it!? Spectacular shave this morning. Have a great shave and a blessed day my friends.

Menthol Monday
Krampert's soap and aftershave work well together for me. I got a drama free shave and a pleasingly cold start to my day. The lather was very thick and the scent reminds me of an alpine forest in winter. Pi Neo is a great compliment to this combo.

Prep: Van Yulay PSO
Soap: Krampert's Finest Frostbite
Brush: HIS
Razor: der Futur
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
AS: Krampert's Finest Frostbite
