Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette day 2
Stirling Glacial Citron SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash

Rod, what the hell did you put in this soap, liquid nitrogen? That’s what it felt like when I was lathering up and shaving - the Glacial Citron is absolutely magnificent - a gorgeous scent, such rich, slick bitterly cold lather which froze my face to smithereens and had my eyes almost closed for the first two passes, and perfect skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm doesn’t lack menthol either and it’s a godsend for sensitive skin, not to mention how beautiful the Glacial Citron aftershave smells and how frigid it is. Another picture perfect BBS shave!

Have a good day - be well and safe!

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Shave Cream
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
TARMAX by Tom
Astra SP
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Palmolive Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TARMAX Razor by Tom set on 8 with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Have a great day!​

 

Tom White's injector is on its way so it's back to injector format for a bit. Charcoal soap and oil only which made for a great shave in the Injecto-matic but for clogging the head like crazy. I'll stick to brush and soap next time in this one. Schick B20.

DE SOTD, Thursday, Aug 19th 2021

Razor: Razorock Wunderbar slant, Mfg 2017> interesting slant razor with a lot of effort to torque the blade, light touch can turn out excellent shaves, steep approach because of curved top cap seems to work the best for myself. All 316 stainless steel with high precision machining fits.
Blade: Derby Premium (2) sharp & smooth, longevity?. Derby's better blade IMO.
Soap: Razorock Blue barber, nice barber shop scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm tuxedo knot, named after a famous Cathedral in Barcelona Spain, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + great 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.
Post shave: Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my RR Wunderbar slant with a Derby Premium.

Have some great shaves!
