Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave...

The schmidt R10 handle paired together with the Yingjili Tech head makes a wonderful Frankentech. The extra weight of the R10 handle handle gives a good additional heft, making a non-aggressive yet efficient duo.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Cobalt EdT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Sunday:

hot shower with Cremo Seagrass & Driftwood body wash
Badger Vetiver & Vanilla PSO
Gillette RedTip 3 passes
Derby Premium (1)
TOBS No. 50 cream in a warm bowl
TSD member boar
Thayers Cucumber WH
Lustray Draggon Noir EdT

Picked up the Badger brand PSO in a local store the other day and tried it for the first time. Performance is good but it might be a little on the greasy side. I'll have to try it a few more times.

Lots of different smells today for some reason but it all seemed to work.

Have a great week, fellow shavers!

 

Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 5
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Prep ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

After two non mentholated shaves it was time to bring out the heavy menthol artillery so I selected Fernando’s brilliant Frosted Lavender. This soap has such a gorgeous scent - it’s classy, refined lavender, the tallow formula promotes magnificent lather that’s so thick, rich as well as MEGA SLICK, the menthol sensation can knock a polar bear on his ass, and the postshave feeling is so moisturizing and soothing. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave were a perfect finish. Another tip top BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

Have a great Sunday - be well and safe!

The Brush B-3 by Tom
C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher
Heljestrand Wedge
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher Razor with a Heljestrand Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
