Saturday Straights' Shave

Keeping It Simple Week

Williams
Ever-Ready 200T Boar
Luxor Pro Master
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Ever-Ready 200T Boar brush. I did two passes with the Luxor Pro Master Razor with an Astra SP blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Soap: Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest

Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor/TGN Grade A Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Platinum-Plus blade still in the Gillette NEW Short Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Gentleman aftershave.

Here's my Saturday shave:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 7
First Canadian Polar Vortex SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS Splash
Acqua di Selva Cologne

A very good BBS shave so no complaints but the Derby needs a change. The Polar Vortex is great latherer, its menthol effect is really strong but I find it lacks skincare compared to Stirling or my South African soaps so once I finish it I'll forget about it. The Rubby Dubby Doo froze me to smithereens!

Enjoy the weekend!

 

Excellent black and white Clint.

Oh man, that was an outstanding shave, on so many levels... the 34C HD/Super Iridium combo is awesome, as I've noted many times before, and I love everything about Gearhead... the performance, the scent, HELL YEAH! But what really blew me away was the scent of 'Spitfire', talk about stepping back in time.... memories of my dad, working mens clubs... the tobacco, leather, the soapy background scent.. BOOM! Phoenix & Beau got it in one! love it!
