SOS June 2019

Thanks Gary!

 

Just the Basics June!!

June 27

Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (9)
Blade (2)
Soap - Oleo Soapworks El Caballero
Brush - Jayaruh #230
Post - Alum

Something very strange happened today. I got up, went out and did my thing, came home, and......not one time......not even for a moment......did it rain. It did get to the mid 90's for a high - but..........no rain. Not sure how to interpret that. Nevertheless it was good day and finished off even better with another fine shave with the Fattie and Sharp Star. It's "That'll do Thursday" so I chose the El Caballero that lurks in my cabinet for the soap. JR230 for a classy and quick lather with this soap. It performs well, it's slick and the scent is unique. Not bad at all. Two passes and some touch ups to a near-BBS and I'm calling it a fine shave. Alum was quiet, so no complaint or worries.

Friday has already arrived again and the weekend is close behind! Make it a great one!

very cool brush..

 

Just for the fun if it. Haven't used the Stahley for a long time. May even wind it up!

Thanks! Finally able to spend some time looking at the other shaves. Everone's are good.

Going with back-to-back PAA and using the Stainless DOC again. I really just want the Atomic Age Bay Rum scent. I'm not going to go all out with the bath products this time. Just a standard shower and a shave with the gear. I'll use the scuttle for hot lather. The shave should be awesome as usual.

Soap & balm: Pre de Provence No.63

Enjoy your shave.

Tabac Thursday SOTN

Any day is a great day for Tabac... 2.5 days of beard growth were no match for the Feather Professional blade (~15 shaves so far) with the Colonial General Aluminum / Ikon Bulldog combo. A little extra buffing along the jaw for BBS.

Should I look for a stainless or brass Colonial General??

Comfy for bed. Night all!

The heat has arrived here too: today they expect perceived temperatures of 41° C, hence shut off heating and removed quilts and woolen underpants!

The Violetta di Parma seemed appropriate and it was: 'soft', fragrant lather ... and that razor is excellent with almost any blade.
I took my time and, believe me, it's not little for me!

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap
Jayaruh #369 Synthetic
Valet AutoStrop VB1
Valet AutoStrop (15)
CWR
Pinaud Clubman

This is my fifteenth shave with this blade. My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #369 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Valet AutoStrop VB1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 6
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Exactly what I needed - an intense menthol bombardment and that’s what I got. The Glacial Black Cherry soap delivered perfectly with its beautiful scent, a boatload of awesome lather, and two boatloads of frigid menthol which felt heavenly. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Osage Rub aka the Rubby Dubby Doo put the proverbial “icing on the cake.” Two passes did the job for me and I turned out BBS!
