Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TOBS Lavender
Jayaruh #46
Baili BD179 TTO
Gillette Wilkinson Sword
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Vegetal

The Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #46 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Baili BD179 TTO razor with a Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Brush: RazoRock plissoft
Soap: TTFFC Angel's Share
Post: Aqua Velva


2 pass shave late Sunday night, first time with the Laser Ultra blade, I like the Laser Platinums, but this one dId not feel as smooth, and did not get as close of a shave as I'm used to. About middle of the road blade, still useable, and who knows it may have just been technique or something. The lather and scent of Angel's Share is awesome, scent is a bit hard to describe, but it is unique in a good way. Finished off with the old classic AV, I usually splash some on before I leave the house in the morning, since it is a nice non offensive scent. Hope everyone had a great shave!

Man oh man, this was a lulu of a freeze from the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap. I still cannot get over how easy these Glacials are to lather and how much colder they feel now. The Junjie/Derby duo got me BBS in two passes and the Diana Menthol balm combined with the Arctique aftershave felt mega-frigid!

 

Tabac nie versagt
Another amazing shave with Tabac. The Futur brush made excellent lather quickly and easily, allowing the Futur razor to glide effortlessly in its grim duty. Three passes on five leaves my skin smooth and comfortable. Tabac aftershave is surprisingly kind and smells great. The whole thing started with a refreshing face wash with the Body Shop Tea Tree wash. I lathered Tabac right over the suds, and it felt wonderful.

SOTD May 9, 2016
Menthol Monday


Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick G1 Injector
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: C.O. Bigelow Cream M-Bombed
Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD SubZero, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Nice shave this morning with the Schick G1 injector. This follows two uncomfortable shaves over the weekend with a GEM Featherweight. Today was a redemption from those experiences. I added about 5 drops of M-Bomb to my scuttle and then whipped up some Bigelow cream on top of it. Nice, thick, excellent lather. The G1 maneuvered around very nicely. The TSD SubZero splash added another layer of cool.

One big pass with touch-ups is all I needed on this Monday. Hope you all have a great day!
