Shaving recipe for today.

Pre:

Cold wet flannel to my face.
Simple ~ Sensitive Bar Soap + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.
Brush : Semogue 1305.
Face Lather.
Soap : Lea Shave Stick.
Blade: Trig ~ Silver Edge. (4) (Green cover)
Razor: Weishi 2.0 Adj.~ (Settings) 5-wtg,6-xtg,7-atg+pick ups.

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint Lavender, + eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./proraso eucalyptus & menthol ASL./Tesco ~ Aloe Vera Body Lotion.


Greetings,

I started having cold water shaves since April this year, which have been an invigorating tonic for my mature skin and a good wake up call for my face sensors.

Last outing of the Trig Silver edge blade which has performed wonderfully with each shave throughout the week showing no signs of dulling.

The Lea shave stick lathered up wonderfully on my face with the Semogue 1305 building up a slick protective lather adequate enough for the full shave...'This week i have re-discovered my love for my humble boar brushes again'.

The Proraso eucalyptus & menthol aftershave i haven't used for a while which is a favourite of mine it's scent to my nose smells nothing like the soap... YMMV I only wish the fragrance of this outstanding aftershave lotion had more lingering power....However, the post shave feel makes up for the lack of it's wonderful sadly quickly fading away fragrance.

Opposite to the Ming Shi 2000s in my previous shave i find the higher setting are more suited to my skin type when i shave with the Weishi 2.0.adj it's shaving characteristics remind me of the parker variant with less aggression.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report..Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Tesco ~ Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Wishing you a positive outcome and speedy recovery Jim @Jayaruh

 

Turkish Thursday with Arko Soap in a bowl (Refilled with a crushed soap stick) and my Rockwell 6S Matte Black.

Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
Soap: Arko Soap
Razor: Rockwell Razors 6S Matte Black(R5, R4, and R3)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
Blade: Tiger Platinum (2)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (No Idea)
Brush: The Shaving Factory Turkish Boar

I scrapped some of the Arko into the bottom of my Captains Choice Heavy Copper, poured some hot water over it while I showered. I poured the bloom water into the VdH bowl with fresh hot water to build the lather from. That lather got slick, thick, and creamy. A really nice shave, if I do say so myself.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real classic scent shaving soap
Jayaruh #419 Two Band Badger
PAA Starling SE
Pal CS Se
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

This is my Rocky Balboa shave. I look like Rocky today after my Mohs surgery yesterday.

The Musgo Real classic scent shaving soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #419 Two Band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling SE razor with a Pal CS Se blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

And here is the video:

 

Thank you. I woke up looking like Rocky Balboa this morning. I will do a video so you guys can get a laugh.

 

Bike's back!

Sorry for the late reply - that’s a 1950s Super Speed which my Dad, of dearly loved and cherished memory gave me for my 14th birthday back in Israel. It’s such an awesome razor!

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Minora day 5
Bundubeard Sanga Symphony SS
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Jaco’s tallow based soaps are absolutely magnificent - this Sanga Symphony has such a gorgeous scent, I love how it lathers, the slickness helps the blade skate across my face, and it has such a soothing postshave feeling. The Nivea Cool Kick balm is very moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Bleu de Chanel is my number one fragrance. Three passes gave me such a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Be well and safe!
