Another Smooth Shave With This Fine Razor

Have A Great Day!

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

I am so sorry for your loss. I still miss my dad ten years later. You and your family are in my prayers.

 

Matt, my deepest and most heartfelt condolences for your loss. May your Dad's memory be a blessing.

 

Today I changed up my choice of razor - instead of my 1950's Super Speed I went with this buck-and-a-half Junjie DE (made in China) which I bought last year in a dollar store near my house and I transplanted the Astra blade into it. Guess what: A three pass BBS shave which was very easy and comfortable - absolutely no problems whatsoever. This Golddachs Spezial soap from Germany may be pricey (25,00$ CAD) but I think it's actually well-worth it. Does it ever smell nice, does it ever lather like crazy, and its skincare is pretty good. No menthol, but it got very chilly outside so I'm just as happy to back off from the freeze for a day. The Canadian Cedar aftershave is awesome stuff - too bad that it was discontinued some years ago.

Enjoy your shaves and have a great day!

A truly fine three pass shave this morning. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Thank you all for your comforting, kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

Razor - Edwin Jagger "Kelvin"
Blade - Feather Hi-Stainless
Shave Brush - Satin Tip "The Purest"
Pre-shave Oil - Lather & Wood "unscented"
Shave Soap - Catie's Bubbles "Le Piment de La Vie" *Luxury Cream Formula
Aftershave - Country Club for Men "Southern Oud"
Post-shave Balm - Retseliney Luxury Skin Care Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum
Deodorant - Sam's Natural "Tobacco"
Fragrance - Creed Royal Oud

The soap is such a treasure. It's the older, fluffier luxury cream formula that preceded the current one. The older, fluffier formula is the best one IMO, so I'm trying to use this stuff sparingly. And the scent is just amazing when it's been a while since the last use. Absence has made the nose on this grow fonder.
