    Thank you Paul for the kind words.

    I have to say, the What the Puck line is a great value. I think I bought all 3 for like $8 or $9. I like Orange the best, then Lime, then Blue. I thought orange would keep me in the Florida vacation mood and the tin is relatively small to travel with. I have to say though, the cool lather thing has been really refreshing. I picked up the idea from one of Doug's tip videos and I highly recommend trying it at least once for anyone that has the plastic travel scuttle. I popped the Lemony Orange Glacial AS in the freezer tonight for tomorrow and will use both with the added chill. Should feel great!

    Followed the vibe and went into the deep end with an F plate, but glad as this is a fantastic razor. Needed to pay attention like a large straight but the results are superb - super smooth close shave . . . impressive.

    Friday's Shave
    zcws.gif
    Keep It Simple Shave Week

    Williams Mug Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #302
    Mongoose Alumigoose
    Feather Professional SS SE
    CWR
    Family Dollar Spice AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #302 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Mongoose Alumigoose Razor on loan from @Redfisher with a Feather Professional SS blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Family Dollar Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Friday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
    Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus (18)
    Brush: Mozingo/WSP Silvertip-24mmx52mm
    Aftershave: Stirling Executive Man w/Menthol

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)


    Stirling Ozark Mountain today. 20 seconds to load the Mozingo/WSP 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 Executive Man aftershave.

    Back to South Africa for my Friday SOTD:

    C. W. Beggs Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra day 6
    RVT Green Fields SS
    Fino ASB
    Acqua di Selva Cologne

    No complaints at all - this shave was so enjoyable as well as BBS. The Green Fields can easily be classified as a mentholated soap because it's very cooling. Its scent, lather and skincare are great. Do I ever love that Fino balm - what a soothing effect it has!

    Enjoy the weekend!

    Enjoy your chunks of Lemony Orange! :). Y'know, I didn't find the Lime(WTP)to be that cool...certainly wasn't WARM, but I was hoping for a cool lime fragrance. Maybe using Aqua Velva or a cold A.S. would work best, as you're doing with the Lemony Orange.
