Monday Afternoon....



-Irving Barber Shavette
-Honeyfarm Designs 24mm Finest
-Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic
-Stirling Glacial Lemon Soap and Balm

I was planning to go take a picture of this stuff in a snowbank or on a snowy cedar bough or something, but it was snowing and even though it is only zero outside, the windchill was around -16.

So after I closed the front door and pulled my sundress back down off my head, I slinked back into my bathroom and took them there.

Definitely a face freezer. They are good for you every once in a while.

 

Razor: Gillette Red Tip A-4 1955
Blade: Pol Silver Super Iridium (5)
Brush: Los Tres Amigos Dos Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic LE Jade
Soap: Reef Point Soaps Dragon's Blood
Aftershave: Folsom Shambala

Very close comfortable 3 pass near BBS shave this evening. Got a good dump of snow last night and this morning.

 

Very nice photo but waaay too much snow for me. The beautiful red tip makes it all good though.

 

Tuesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Arko Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #142
Gillette Blue Tip SS B3
Personna Super
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #142 black badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Blue Tip SS B3 with a Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thanks very much for your kind words.

 

Looks like a bloody cold shave their Doug

 

Really nice shave with the big Kropp. Not my closest shave but very close and with minimal alum noise afterwards.

Hot water preparation
AOS Lavender PSO
Haslinger Honig Shave Soap

Happy shaving everyone - Karl

Pre Shave Balm: Proraso Sensitive

​

This morning shave with a new Personna blade was pretty rough. I went ahead and finished my shave and then pulled the blade to look at it. Edge had two chips in it somehow so tossed the blade and will try again. Previous shave with a Personna blade was actually pretty good so I was taken back by the rough shave, but like other have stated Schick is a tad better than Personna blades.

 

SUNDAY SHAVE


Prep: RazoRock Mister Joe
Razor: Gillette ball end tech
Blade: Gillette Green
Brush: Maggard 26mm synthetic
Soap: Blackship Grooming- Jolly Rodger
Post:SDP Terroso balm


Had a unusual shave, troubles with lather stability made a very thin lather, but the scent is awesome for this time of year. Also was having trouble with the SDP balm burning my face so not sure if it will stay in the den, may end up trading it or running another PIF.

MONDAY SHAVE



Prep: Taconic Bay Rum Metholated
Razor: Gillette ball end tech
Blade: Gillette Green
Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc
Soap: B&M Leviathan

Very nice 2 pass shave this morning. The scent of Leviathan is a nice coffee Sandalwood which went well with the snow and cold weather here in Detroit, and paired nicly with the LG balm. Hope everyone had a great shave !
