Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Shave Cream
Jayaruh #313
Gem Push-Button
CVS CS SE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Palmolive Shave Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Gem Push-Button razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you Perry. I can't remember if I responded to this shave before, however, if I did so what.

Thursday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 5
Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

This Plissoft synthetic with the 26mm knot is unbelievable - what a lather maker it is. It whipped up such tremendous lather from the Klipspringer soap which has that delightful coffee/peppermint scent and great slickness as well as an awesome menthol sensation. A nice massage with the Prep followed by a couple of splashes of the Alt Innsbruck and I was good to go. Three passes did the job for me - big time BBS!

Excellent shave, Jeff! The Plissoft knot is great, been using my Big Bruce this month and it's probably the best brush i own so far.

 

Thanks my friend!

I have three brushes but ever since I bought this Plissoft I can’t stop using it! lol

SOTD:
Today i decided to give the sworn enemy of wet shaving, canned goo a try again. I havent used this stuff since December, and i was actually surprised. Contrary to popular belief, this stuff is not terrible. I lathered it with a moist shaving brush( also my first ever brush from last year), and it provided a wonderfully slick shave, with decent post shave care. By no means does this stuff beat a good soap, but in a pinch id use it again, in fact i still have another can of supermax gel that i have to use up sooner or later too. I'll do a budget shave with the super max gel once i switch out the feather for a super max blade.

Even though the Nivea performed decently, nothing is replacing bundubeard or arko soon. The brush also shed about 20 hairs in this shave so the Dischem synthetics life has come to an end after a year. Not too bad for a 2 dollar brush lol.

Ive also switched back to classic aftershaves in the summer after a long run with prep balm, my skin is just too oily in summer for balms.

Brush: Dischem synthetic
Gel: Nivea extreme comfort
Razor: Wilkinson sword tto
Blade: feather hi-stainless
Aftershave: Brut by Fabergé
