I changed up my choice of Glacial soap at the last minute for some reason and I enjoyed a wonderful three pass mega-frigid BBS shave with the Eskimo Tuxedo. I had tons of such rich, slick lather which is so typical of these Stirling soaps along with two big boatloads of that intense menthol which has set these Glacial soaps aside from other menthol products. The Glacial Unscented balm is something special because it freezes the crap out of you, it's so soothing, and it pairs perfectly with any scent you want. The Rubby Dubby Doo not only makes a perfect face-freezing aftershave, it feels so cold and nice when you splash some on your head - ahhhhhhhhh, it's so invigorating!

Have a great day, folks!

 

Thanks Jim. I love the stuff.

 

Great photo Jim! ☺️

Having been successful lately with my milder razors I dialed back the Q-Shave (with its new polished cap and guard) to 2.5 with one shim. It's always a bit tuggy but very manageable today. The 2.5 setting is more than enough blade gap to allow for the angles I like on the back of my head. A bit more irritation than usual (too much pressure surely) but a very close and enjoyable shave. Tian Li, LA Shaving Shop SM Bay Rum, great stuff.

Excellent setup Doug. I agree, that decanter is one of my favorite from Old Spice.

Another SEeptember shave

Gem Contour razor
Gem Stainless blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
TSD Iced Lemongrass SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
TSD 2X Mentholated Lemongrass A/S
Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne

Took the Contour off the shelf to see how it would work for me. In the past it had been to mild and the shaves I want just didn't come with it. But I love the look/feel of it so tried again. Surprise! It worked well and gave a close, comfortable shave. So I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

I think I can safely say that with a WTG/ATG - clean up shave, and a whole bunch of luck, I am so close to a BBS, I can`t tell the difference. I can`t feel any whiskers anywhere.' All is smooth on the western front'. Let`s thank God for the coming day and live with love in our hearts. My wish for today is for all to get the shave they want. God Bless.

A much needed shave, I could pull the hair on my face and head with my fingers.
