SOS: OCtober 2018

So this bay rum is not oak barrel aged (at least older bottles) - the pineapple bay rum, boomtown and atomic are oak barrel aged - hence the intense scent (which i do love) - this Is a Little more mellow - and it is like his original bay rum but with the citrus lime and a little co count- it is REALLY awesome - and it also will come in the new style decanter which looks awesome (just need to be careful as opening is large - i use a lot so its ok for me - but beware) some bay rums do give me a little burn - but nothing bad and it dont bother me - i can say this one is on mild side - Go for it!! i like the OGALLALA Lime bay rum too - but! that does burn and it would prolly kill your sons face - haha

Today's shave was very relaxing, I needed it. I had a perfectly smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Zero issues. This razor is a fantastic shaver, and takes on a wicked edge.

Razor- "Snap No.35", by Norvell-Shapleigh HDWE Co. St Louis-Germany.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
Brush- JR#262, Birdseye Maple/Ebony, with a WD Silvertip Badger Knot
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice

 

West Coast Shaving has its own "Mystery Soap" out.

 

Great picture, Roby!

 

Razor - unknown German
Blade - Voskhod
Brush - jayaruh 171
Soap - Tabac
Post - medicated witch hazel
A/s - pinaud bay rum

What a difference a blade makes.. I keep getting crappy shaves using personna blue this razor too was on my “sell” list but the design and size of the razor keeps me from selling it. I’m glad I changed my mind. A wonderful shave !

 

Thank you my friend and have a great day!

 

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: WDC-8 Maseto 24mm 2BF
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Razor: Pils 101NE (on loan)
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pashana Original ASL

An excellent shave, the Pils really is a top performer and the soap and splash brought a bit of warmth to a chilly day.
The Pashana ASL is one of the few things were the expression "less is more" makes perfect sense.
Happy Shaving one and all.

My second of theirs, this one in particular I tried b/c of the Oud, though I read some reviews elsewhere saying it was strong out of the tin, I honestly found it to be mild out of the tin, lathers consistent with the other one of theirs I have, which is to say good enough, and while mild for an oud, it does hold up afterwards, good soap, just not a powerful or complex oud.

 

Glad to hear its not cancer Bill. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

 

YESTERDAYS SHAVE


Prep: Pre Shave Soap Mix, shower with African Black Soap, MWF bath soap (shampoo bar)
Razor: RR Hawk SE
Blade: Feather Pro Guard
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
Soap: Turtleship Pine
Post: B&M Taigia A/S

Lovely shave with Turtleship Pine. Their soap base really is incredible, super thick lather that held a ton of water. Scent gets a bit stronger once lathered and is not too strong as pine scents tend to be. Paired great with Taigia (which also has excellent ingredients) and smelled like a pine tree leaving the den.



Prep: Musgo Real Classic
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Pol-Silver
Brush: Yaqi 26mm synthetic
Soap: Musgo Real Triple milled Puck
Post: Musgo Real Balm, Brut Special Reserve


Went with a Musgo Real themed shave this morning. Love the performance of this discontinued MR hard puck lather exploded with a bit of water, and held quite a bit without breaking down. The classic scent paired beautifully with Brut Special Reserve. Am very happy with the results of todays shave, hope y'all had a similar experience!

 

This summer in Colorado, my nephew had a Pine Aftershave..smelled pretty good.

Thank you for your concern. Like I was saying yesterday, these people in hospitals a clinics have no shame when comes sticking you with needles. My wife stopped by the clinic where I go. She just wanted see what the next step was, and sure enough, they called me in and drew a vile of blood. God Bless, Bill

 

Pino Silvestre is one that comes to mind when thinking of pine scents. Have not tried it but many people seem to like it. Colorado is a great place for this type of scent.
