SoS: November 2020

Sunday:

hot shower with Pecksniff's Ginger Flower & Patchouli shower gel
Maggards Grapefruit PSO
Gillette SuperSpeed (TV Special) 3 passes
Racer Super Stainless (3)
Maggard Green Apple soap in a warm bowl
Ever-Ready 150 boar
Thayers Peach WH
Stetson Caliber A/S balm
Stetson Caliber cologne

Not the closest shave but about what I expected with a mild razor and average blade. I had a SchickGrip laying on the shelf that I used for Friday's shave so I ran that across the scratchy parts as a touch up.

Have a great week everyone!

 

Sunday morning:

Not a Grand Freeze but still pretty damned cold!

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Minora
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash
Havana EdT

The brand new Minora blade was so welcome this morning although I can’t complain at all because the previous one lasted for two weeks and it gave me great shaves every time. The Kudu soap’s delightful coffee/peppermint scent filled the bathroom, I had tons of thick, rich, slick, protective lather with an icy cold menthol sensation, and perfect postshave care. After a nice long massage with the Prep a couple of splashes of the Alt Innsbruck felt heavenly and its beautiful scent seems to pair very well with the Havana eau de toilette. Three passes gave me a cracking good BBS shave!

Have a great Sunday - stay well and safe!

Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore"Firenze"- excellent soap lather qualities with a nice scent.

Preshave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on my cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Fine fresh Vetiver A.S with witch hazel + a dollop of AVON "True Gent" balm. I like this balm with SMDF soap.

2-passes + clean up. Multiple weepers and a tiny abrasion/weeper. Sealed it all up with the Alum block and a dab from my Pinaud styptic pencil. I chased BBS a bit, got over-confident. Great shave that gave me a chance to utilize my post-shave tools. Classic shaving at its best. All the products came together to be enjoyable to save the shave from my mistakes.
