SOS July 2019

Excellent, Guy. That Bostonian...

 

Boom!

 

Excellent shave. Williams/Clubman SR is a winning combo. You've inspired me.

Beat the heat shave
Hot Water wash
Ever-ready badger-lon
Bombed Soap Commander Vision
Rockwell 6s (6)
Persona lab (2)
Iced Aqua Velva Ice Blue
No pic, sorry. But all items pretty common. Bombed vision, iced ice blue, cool start to another hot day.
Hope y'all did as well, or better (or cooler anyway)

 

Non si tratta della foto, si tratta della rasatura. (I hope my Italian is close to my intentions)

 

Questo photo e veramente bello, mio amico!

 

My midweek action:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 4
Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

It’s as hot as hell over here in Montreal so the secret to staying cool is air conditioning, a nice swimming pool with saltwater like ours, and a good mentholated shave. The Frozen Tundra soap’s scent is so beautiful - it reminds me a little of the Glacial Wintergreen, and does it ever lather great with a strong menthol sensation. The Prep sure felt wonderful when I massaged it on after my shave, and much to my wife’s chagrin I opted for the Aqua Velva. (She still kissed me before leaving for work!) Smooth as silk from two passes!

 

Rosy Wednesday
Chatillon Lux's YRP is a nice compliment to Rose of Phrygia. This shave was superb - close and comfortable with no weepers or irritation. I'm more and more impressed with the r41 - close and confident as long as I take care with my technique. I feel like King Midas - this shave was golden.

I'm planning on doing an "All American" shave tomorrow for the 4th of July. Anyone with me? I'm going to use the following;
Modern Williams or Van der Hagen Shave Soap
Blackland Sabre
GEM PTFE
VdH Brush (Old Surrey)
Gillette Coolwave AS and ASB
Gillette Coolwave Deodorant

 

Wow..you're brave to use the Clubman S.R. in warm weather...unless you put in some freeze drops er sumethin.

 

Thanks Gary! Enjoy your day.

 

Awwwright, Agar happens to be Nomination #1 for this year's Stoylin Tony Awards. Happy 4th to you too, Bob. Actually it was the choice in soap and aftershave, like you did today.

 

I've been thinking about the Bergy Lavender...is it a nice mix of the two?

 

Grazie Joseph!

 

I'm sure it IS a winning combo, but I'm more for doing it the winter.

 

Star 3 piece razor
Parker blade
Fine Synthetic brush
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint A/S

Another dandy shave and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

I wish I had me some Osidge, or Booster Polar Ice for tomorrow....90's. But the Stoylin freeze drops I'll be getting should help.

 

Just used it...for me, it's an "anytime" combo. I don't get into the "seasonal" things. I always wore white after labor day.

 

Easy three pass shave and only a bit of touch up for a darn fine shave!
Y'all go out and enjoy your day!
