Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Arko Extra Performance Shaving Cream
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
Supply V2
Personna
CWR
Lilac Vegetal

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Extra Performance Shaving Cream face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Supply V2 razor with the three dot plate and a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

2019-12-13, Friday

Awakening in a 'snow rain' ; the snow was not even visibly deposited: a little on the windshield (the thermal insulation allowed it to accumulate, but on the body ...) and a spray on the fields like icing sugar on a strudel!

Convenient for driving, but aesthetically disappointing.

And I wanted a traditional shaving gear (in my sense!): a soap that smells almond, a brush that smells like a brush and an EdT with Mediterranean Lavender that is not a spring / summer perfume: it is suitable for every season, if you don't dress like a punk ...
But wirh moleskin pants and a slipover it is really in tone.

Clarifying the results is tautological: they are those of a many time tested gear!





Sapone PS: Valobra Glicerolanolina
Sapone: Sterling, Almond Creme
Pennello: Frank Shaving, Silvertip 26
Rasoio: Maggard, MR 8
Lametta: Feather
AS: MilMil, Figaro Gel
EdT: Farmacia Vaticana, Acqua di Lavanda
ST: Tommy Dorsey

 

Friday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 2
Vitos SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Musk AS Splash

No question about it - the Derby blades are far superior to me anyway, than the 7 AMs. I still find the Astra Greens to be the best but these are still good enough. The Vitos soap has such a nice, mild marzipan scent, it gives tons of rich lather so easily, and a very soothing, comfortable postshave feeling. The Bull Dog moisturizer is from the UK and it works great as a balm. The Aqua Velva Musk has a nice old school scent and it feels really good on my skin. Two passes were enough for a perfect BBS shave.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
