SoS; January 2018.

Cool photo Jim ☺️

 

Thank you, Roby!

 

Good picture Roby.

 

I don't think this shave could have been any smoother or any colder because I'm absolutely BBS and the Glacial Black Cherry soap felt borderline-painful in terms of menthol strength. Its lovely scent filled the bathroom and it lathered beautifully with great blade glide, which is so typical of Rod's soaps. The Glacial Unscented balm continued the freeze while moisturizing my skin and the Arctique brought on its own freeze which is lethal along with its awesome scent and a soothing feeling!

Have a great week!

 

Have a good week yourself Jeff.

 

Thanks Doug. Have a great day buddy ☺️

Nice chilly shave to match our nice chilly morning. Haven't used an SE in a lllloooonnnggg time and need to use them more often. This particular one is a smooth, easy shaver giving great results. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

BTW, don't think I like this monthly format as well as the weekly one but that's just me

Same terrific line-up for 3 days in a row. Fifth shave with the Polsilver SI. Two pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave. Even though the hardware & software involved in these 3 (so far!) shaves are not considered top shelf, except the blade, I am getting fantastic results with little effort. If something is working for me this well, I have to keep using it. Not that I'll toss everything else........................

Soap: RazoRock Classic
Brush: Omega 10086 boar
Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (5)
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

 

Thank you for your kind words, Steve.

CRSW Glide Olfactory Hue today. 15 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with YSL M7 Absolu Oud EdT.

Another shave with the Lund. I’m getting more familiar with my yellow/green Thuri and I wanted to see how a few more minutes on the stone would impact it. Pretty much in the sweet spot now - another half notch sharper and smooth.
