SOS: January 2021

Sunday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 7
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Reef Point Fougère Santal AS Splash
Givenchy Gentleman EdT

Not quite a Grand Freeze but still plenty cold - the Kudu soap is supposedly the medium menthol level but it gives a stronger chill than a lot of other menthol soaps and creams that I’ve used. I would say it’s comparable to Stirling’s Frozen Tundra in terms of menthol power. I enjoyed the awesome scent and lather so much as well as the slickness which helped to give me a great postshave feeling. The Prep is hard to beat in the skincare department and the Fougère Santal aftershave from Reef Point not only smells lovely - it has a strong menthol sensation and it pairs well with the Givenchy Gentleman fragrance. BBS in three glorious passes!

Have a nice Sunday - stay safe and healthy!

Thank you, Sergio! I've had the bowl for a while, but rarely use it (I primarily face lather). But, I've enjoyed bowl lathering the past couple of shaves and I think I may stick with it for a while. The suribachi does help make a great lather.

Sunday shave Jan 17th 2021, having a little fun with the New Razorock Lupo .72 2nd Generation razor, Still testing the mid range non threatening easy to use DE razor. Not sure how they engineered this shaving jewel to get great results and still shave with comfort. I thought I would put the razor through some more paces and performed some buffing, also J hooking and of course the Lupo slide (Gillette slide) for those who are not familiar with that manoeuvre. The razor passed those manoeuvres with no issues and so to me it is a winner if a person wants a solid mid range easy going razor. I think it could be a daily driver easily for my beard type but only on day 2 of at least 7 consecutive shaves! I could have a grail razor but still would get bored and use some of my many other razors (40 + razors as if I need another one, this will be last one). I have three Razorock stainless steel razors now and it is just as good or possibly better than the lot, time will tell what I reach for the most.

Razor: Razorock Lupo.72 2nd generation -MFG 2021, excellent mid range with all the charteristic of a good razor head. Easy to handle and manipulate on the face. Smooth and very efficient IMO.
Blade: Gillette Astra SP(2) it is my standard blade for testing and comparing any other blades. Sharp & Smooth priced well also. Good longevity.
Soap: Razorock XXX- great clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm- This synthetic is my oldest synthetic brush used and has soft tips with a nice back bone for a scrub & a good lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers =Excellent shave with new RR Lupo.72 + Gillette Astra SP blade.


Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!
