SOS: July 2018

Thank you, buddy!

Terrific picture!

 

Good morning fellows!

Here's my SUPER-Menthol Monday SOTD:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 2
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Lemon Chill WH
B+M Arctique AS Splash
Quorum EdT

As Rod would say about this soap, balm, and witch hazel "dunk my head into a bucket of ice-cold lemonade? Why, yes that sounds positively delightful!" That's what a shave with this setup feels like, not to mention the off the charts freeze the Arctique aftershave gives. BBS in three glorious passes!

Have a great week!

 

Monday

Stirling Sandpiper today. 20 seconds to load the Wild West Brushworks/Elite Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette “Spoiler” Super Stainless still in the Gillette Fat Handle Tech. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.

1st time with the Institut Karite SS. Lathers easily, has a pleasant scent but didn't seem to offer much protection. Could be cuz it's my 1st use of it and that it will get better. Hope so. I'll use it a few more days to find out. Now go enjoy your day folks

Craftmanship is top notch and I like his knot lot better than Simpson Manchurian. Your patience will be well rewarded.

 

Grand Bay, it is from Dominica and from California Antilles Trading, how is it compare to Dominica Double Distilled brand if at all?

 

Last shave at home for ten days, so I decided to pull out the big gun.
