SoS: May 1, 2017 - May 7, 2017

Great perspective on your picture!

 

Excellent setup Mark!

 

For my Friday freeze:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Rapira day 5
Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo S/S
Stirling Glacial Unscented A/S Balm
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
YSL Pour Homme EdT

I'm almost at the end of this container of Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap but I've still got more than enough for a few more shaves - no way will I waste this precious stuff. As I keep on saying, it's impossible for me to go two days in a row without a face-freeze so I'm pulling out the big guns. This Glacial Unscented balm is a godsend for a menthol addict like me!

 

Tabac Original shave soap
B-400 WD High Mountain Badger
The Bunny V3.1 & fresh Chick blade
Alum, Canoe AS & cologne

 

Nice set up Thomas-San!

Friday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Bunny B-400 Badger
Parker Variant
Kai Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 Badger brush. I did two passes with the Parker Variant razor and Kai Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I may just do that. How much do you use per shave? do you apply it like pre shave oil? The concept is a bit confusing, compared to the complicated steps of lather making lol. Heard it has a nice bay rum type of scent that sounds nice.

 

I use six drops per shave. Wet face apply and just rewet between passes. It does have a nice scent to it brother. Kept me posted.

 

Will do. Thanks for the advice brother. I used pre shave oil for the first time in a long time, decided to give it another shot. But the Shave Secret sounds like something to check out.

 

Tonight's shave was with a fantastic Japanese Razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave. BBS results, with only a touchup under thee chin. Baby Dolphin Butt Smooth(BDBS). This a very nicely made razor. I love that Japanese steel, Super Hard, and takes a wicked edge. As @HolyRollah might say: HHT-5.

Razor- Japanese "Old Cherry" 3934
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy
