Sunday 2nd June



Cold Water Shave
Heno de Pravia Glycerine Soap
Wickham 1912 Parma Violet Shaving Soap
Semogue TSN 2010 LE Silvertip Brush
Unininlions Japanese Style Razor with a Proline-P
Alum and Rinse
Witch Hazel
Arko Fig and Grapefruit Moisturiser
Yardley April Violets EDT

One of my latest acquisitions from Aliexpress. Fit and Finish is perfect. Blade exposure with a Proline is similar to a Kai Captain and the shave passed the Alum test.
2 passes and a touch up for a perfect Sunday Shave

 

Razor: ERN Crown & Sword 1166
Soap: MLS Jurate
Brush: No name 29mm Super Badger
AS: Bulgarian Lavender

 

Sunday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Astra Green
GZD Shaving Stick
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

This GZD stick is from Turkey and it has the identical scent to the Arko one with very similar lather and performance, but it’s maybe a bit less skin friendly, at least to me than the Arko. The Prep cream made up for any lack of skincare and the Polar Ice went on with its delightful old school barbershop scent which I love so much. The new Astra Green blade helped to give me a brilliant BBS shave in two passes with minimal touching up.

Have a great Sunday!

SE Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Morning TOST
Jayaruh #356 Synthetic
Kampfe/Star Lather Catcher
Star Wedge/ Treet CS
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #356 Synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Kampfe/Star Lather Catcher razor with a Star Wedge blade and boy was that blade dull. I ended up putting a Treet CS blade in and finished with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great shave, and one of my favorite things to do!
