SoS; April 2018

Wednesday morning:

C. W. Beggs Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 3
Wriggly Tin Rosemary Mint SS
Nip Man AS Balm
Lagerfeld Classic EdT

Another excellent soap from South Africa - perhaps not so much scent-wise, but the lather and skincare are wonderful. It also has somewhat of a cooling effect. That Nip Man balm is amazing - very cooling and soothing!

Cliz-matic and Simplex, fresh Nacet blades.

Spring may not have sprung but a bit of sunshine was a good excuse to break out the lime.
And over 30hrs without a shave was a good excuse to break out the very efficient E2.
Both good calls and the V-L brush is loosing it's scritch, a very enjoyable shave was had.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Tabac After Shave

I received a tuck of these NOS Wilkinson (England) blades from @Douglas Carey yesterday and wanted to try them out. I didn't shave for a few days and since I haven't used this Super Speed in a while, I wanted to see what this blade will do in a mild razor. And the word is great and in two passes with a little touch up, I had no problem getting a smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

 

Great setup Jim. Happy they worked for you.

Thanks Douglas, if I ever find them at a good price, I'll have to pick some up.

 

I apologize for being late to the party Perry. Happy Birthday.

 

Thank you, Jim@

Thank you, Doug! Hope you're doing well.

Wonderful 3 passes tonight leading to a BDBSS. Very happy with my Herder - it's an absolute beauty.

Soho Joe Original Face Wash
JR168 tuxedo synthetic
D R Harris Arlington soap
F. Herder 77 square point
A little alum, and
Pinaud Clubman After shave lotion

Been using my maseto brush a lot recently and I love it, but my JR tonight was something else! Totally different feel to a badger but equally good in all areas.

 

Today
Hot water wash with a washcloth
SOC Boar
Mike's Natural Soaps beta Rose
Merkur 39c
Rapira (1)
Iced Crusella&Co rosa
This afternoon's shave wss very nice. Not much new, nothing eyepopping. Simple elements but preformed nicely. The beta Rose is not loud, but softly lingers nonetheless. The iced Rosa gives a cooling feel. Nice refreshing shave.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.
