SoS; March 2018

Dropping a screaming bunt to first to get @Yehuda D safely to second-here is my Wednesday Shave Way:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Max. Hydration)
shave-WSP Soap(Rustic Sandalwood)
brush-WSP Pure Badger
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot Excellent DisposeABLE
A.S.-WSP Sandalwood

A trifecta for Lee at Wet Shaving Products.

 

That Stahly is wonderful but not because of the chrome flashlight of a handle!

I think I've finally settled into a comfy routine after the big move and I'm feeling more relaxed brother. Time to break out the tools again!

 

It's one very smooth shaver. Definitely unique.

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Black Anvil 26mm 2BF
Soap: P&B Solaris
Razor: Schick E2 (on loan @Blademonkey)
Blade: Schick Proline B
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Floid Vigiroso Mentolado AS

A very close shave from this great little razor.
It's not your normal injector, one hundred percent concentration is required at all times but the reward is worth it and unlike other injectors the risk element makes it fun to use.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

The E2 is a very efficient injector. Fun to shave with. Glad it's working for you.

 

Thanks! Yeah, part of the Spring launch, but it then decided to get cold today so I had to switch to the cozy Bay Rum scent. It's been months since I pulled out the Turquoise shave set. It was good to use that slant again.

 

B&M Cologne Russe seems like a pretty good match. The fact its based on a distinct vintage perfume scent does lend it self to that “old time” feel, more me at least. Both scents bring back memories of my grandparents, which is one of the reasons I continue to use them, even with a den full of software.

 

The Wednesday Shower Plan:

If you've been reading my recent shower plans-no changes, BUT:

Shampoo-Suave 4 Men 2 In 1 Ocean Charge(that is....shampoo and conditioner)

 

GartBnx.....

YESTERDAY'S SHAVE


Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: GEM G-Bar
Blade: GEM Blue Star
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
Soap: Stirling Aqua DGO
Post: Floid Black A/S


Nice smooth shave yesterday. The Stirling soap made a thick protective lather and smells pretty close to the original cologne. Finished off with Floid Black which has a fruity scent and good longevity.

BBS shave with no irritation this morning. Perfect lather from P&B, Spitfire is either hit or miss with me, but today it smelled lovely. No burn from the L&L aftershave at all. Very happy with the results of today's shave. Hope everyone had a similar experience!

I normally use injectors when I need a quick shave, this one takes a bit more concentration but leaves the skin very smooth, pity it's a loaner.

 

Will be interested in your feeling about that Clubman soap.
