SoS: March 14, 2016 - March 20, 2016

What will I use tomorrow - perhaps something..............cold?

 

SOTD 3/17/16
Prep: Hot Shower/ Garnier Face Scrub
Pre-Shave: Maggard PSO
Soap: PAA CAD
Brush: Whipped Dog 24mm Silvertip
Razor/ Blade: Merkur 1906/ Voskhod (2)
Astringent: Alum
Post-Shave: SC Integrity Balm
Aftershave: Fine American Blend
Excellent shave last night, although the soap had almost no scent for some reason. Worked well though and I am irritation free. Followed by Fine American Blend. Hace a great day!

 

Hi everyone, here's today's SOTD;

#21 English Gillette Aristocrat.
Vintage Wizamet Super Iridium blade.
Vintage Ever Ready 500PBT brush.
Maggards London Barbershop soap.
Avon Mesmerize post shave conditioner.
Avon Mesmerize cologne.



This razor just arrived yesterday, and today is the first time I have used it. Granted there is probably a short learning curve, however, I got Avery good shave from it right now. It is almost as efficient as my Aristocrat Junior. I have heard somewhere that the Aristocrat Junior is directly related to the flat bottomed safety bar Aristocrats. Meaning the #16, and the #21. I think this is true. This shave panned out as another DFS. Have a great day !

 

I did not know that. I did notice more red in the office today. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention

 

A HELL of a cold setup for my Saturday morning shave!

Here it is:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Synthetic
Super Speed/Astra day 6
Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
Stirling Glacial Obsidian AS Balm
Fine Snake Bite AS
Grey Flannel EdT

If these products don't freeze a man's face off then nothing will - let's face it guys, this setup is NOT for the faint of heart!

A great weekend to everyone in advance!

 

I would say you really put the "Acoutrements" to work

 

Very cold setup my man! Looks like your face will be an ice cube tomorrow!!!

 

He's going to cryogenically freeze himself!

 

ergo the soap&A.S. by Chisteled Face -Cryogen.

 

Think I am going to join my dear friend Jeff in freezing my face off tomorrow.... Pic coming later...


Here's what I will be using.



Gillette New LC/Voskhod (5)
Chiseled Face Cryogen Shave Soap
JR #23 Silvertip
Maggard Alum Block
Fine Snakebite AS
Stirling SDM AS (Mentholated to Glacial/Cryogen freezing level)

 

That's my favorite face freezer...it's

 

Mars ain't the kind of place...to raise your kids. In fact, it's COLD as HELL. (Just thought I'd flip out some Elton as we're talkin COLD)

 

That's the spirit!

 

How are those? I have the Cedar and Spice and it's another great product.

 

How's the clove factor in Cedar and Spice? I"ve had just one use of Sherlock so far, and it was nice. Will use more next week. Or might mix it up with the two.

 

TGIF everyone! This was my shave today, this new Acqua de Florida soap really has the same scent as the cologne but milder. This is another soap that just lathers like crazy as soon as you put your brush to it. The combination left me with a smooth clean shave and my face felt great all day. I have one more bottle of Florida water. I'm going to take about half of it and load it up with menthol. Have a great day everyone!

 

Not much clove to speak of mostly cedar, smells like a wood shop. Really awesome IMHO.

 

PSO: NB Unscented
Soap: WSP Rustic barbershop
Brush: Vie Long 12705 horse hair
Razor/Blade: 1940ish Gillette Ball End Tech/Astra SP
Post Shave: Origins United States
Balm: Nivea sensitive

NB: The Wet Shave Products Rustic is a good soap, but something in the Barbershop scent profile disagrees with my skin. It burned when on my face, but resolved once the lather was removed. Oh well, I won't get that scent again. It's a good thing I got this sample!

 

SATURDAY SHAVE

Razor - GEM 1912

I am really, really enjoying the 1912. I am completely amazed how comfortable this razor is to use. I don't know what I did wrong with my first couple of attempts with this style of SE razor, but I'm glad I tried again.
