Perfumed by:
Olivier Creed


Razor - Edwin Jagger "Kelvin"
Blade - *5th Shave
Shave Brush - Satin Tip "The Purest"
Razor/Brush Stand by Royal Shave
Pre-shave Oil - Lather & Wood "unscented"

Aftershave - Country Club for Men "Southern Oud"
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Mysterium Serum"

***EDIT - 2 passes. Got a few weepers. Used the alum block. I see a small patch of razor burn. I should have swapped in a fresh blade. The alum, aftershave and balm will work the post-shave recovery duty. It's a solid shave nonetheless. This shaving cream is one of the best smelling creams ever. Le Piment de La Vie. A great masculine tobacco and spice scent. Classic wet shaving at it's best.

Greetings,

(Parker Razor & blade duo week.)

Another new shave set up to start the weekend...I haven't used my parker razors or the premium platinum blade for a while, so this week will be a parker razor & blade duo week...Starting off with the 94r ,which is a sturdy hefty efficient lady that hold's no prisoners to face stubble i was BBS after the 3rd pass but carried on with the pick up pass just for the sheer pleasure of the shave.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable /near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with small dollop of Nivea Men Creme.

My face & feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

The Proraso Red Shaving Soap was applied with the Jayaruh 30RS silver tip brush. One pass and touch ups with the Luxor Pro Master with a Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sandalwood Saturday:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green/day 13
Bundubeard Sandalwood SS
L’Oreal Men Expert Barber Club ASB
Proraso Red AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Jaco makes the most magnificent sandalwood scented shaving and bath soaps I’ve ever used in my entire life - wowwwwwww! I enjoyed the deep, exotic scent so much, the lather was so thick, rich, as well as slick, and the postshave feeling was fantastic. The L’Oreal Barber Club balm gives wonderful moisturizing and soothing, while the Proraso Red aftershave also has a beautiful sandalwood scent but it doesn’t disrupt the Bleu de Chanel’s fragrance. The Astra Green blade is losing its sharpness but it still gave me a cracking good BBS shave with no issues!

Be well and safe!
