SoS: July 2021

Wednesday July 7th SOTN

A much better shave tonight with a fresh Polsilver Super Iridium blade. This definitely would be a good razor for someone who shaves daily (even with a thicker beard like myself) as long as the blade is sharper. I’m smooth and smell great for bed. I’ll see what tomorrow’s shave brings.






Happy Healthy Shaves all.

Thanks Gary.

 

Hi Tim, what are your thoughts on the Coconut Bay with Lime Aftershave? I just ordered it with the Coconut Jump 47 soap.

Very cool and interesting.

I really like the simple Coconut Bay Lime scent. I think you'll enjoy it.

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 11
Master Soap Creations Frosted Lavender SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
B&M Arctique AS Splash
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

What a frigid and beautiful soap this Frosted Lavender is - my man Fernando came up with a real winner. The scent is so gorgeous, the tallow formula gives it such great lather with amazing slickness, the menthol sensation is so intense that it easily matches any of the Stirling Glacials, and the postshave feeling is brilliant. The Glacial Unscented balm prolonged the freeze, it felt so moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Arctique aftershave felt killer cold. The Chabrawichi 555 cologne is from Egypt and it has a lovely lemony/lavender scent not to mention that it costs perhaps five dollars over there. Another picture perfect BBS shave!

Have a good day - be well and safe!

Antica Barbieria Colla~~Simpson Astor~~Feather AC/Professional Super~~Oudh 36 Nuit
Have a great day!​

 

Diamondine No. 7
Simpson T3 Trafalgar
Tabac shave soap
Royal Copenhagen cologne

I thinned the Tabac down for some nice straight lather.

Well I haven't throwed the Diamondine out the window. We are getting along better than I thought we would. I was so proud....I stropped the baby per Scott's @DaltonGang instructions and I did not notice a degradation in the performance of the blade. Wait a minute while I pat myself on the back.......hey I'm allowed.

I completed two full passes and went back for a third on the neck. No blood loss and it's still a little awkward but I do see an improvement. I just keep it slow and steady. The alum was slightly warm but it was even across the shave.

A little witch hazel followed by the Royal Copenhagen.

I hope everyone has a great day!
