Greetings,

( Boxing Day Shave)

Maiden shave with the Derby Shaving Soap Bowl which was one of the few small Christmas presents i ordered for myself as it's been a while since i last purchased anything shaving related....Like it's shave stick sibling the soap bowl produces great lather in a short space of time....The soap residual slickness & protection are excellent equal to the shave stick if not better for it's lather density IMHO.....The scent of both the Derby & Arko soaps is something i personally don't mind to my sense of smell it's just a 'clean pleasant soap/lemon scent' which like the vast majority of shaving soaps with a few rules to the exception the scent vanishes after i have done my cold water face.

All in all it's a good acceptable shaving soap which i look forward to using again in my future shaves...As always opinions are very subjective, especially when it comes to Turkish shaving soap scents.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable boxing day shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Wilko Fruits Lemon & Black Pepper Body Butter.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine...After a few domestic duties i will continue to get some well earned rest.

Stay safe, and enjoy your boxing day ladies & gentlemen.

Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette Platinum day 5
MSC Frosted Spearmint SS
Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB
MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray

A potent Grand Freeze this morning - perhaps not so much from the Frosted Spearmint soap although it’s pretty cold in its own right. The scent is so delightful and it fills the bathroom, the tallow formula promotes such fantastic lather with lots of slickness, the menthol sensation is not overwhelming like the Stirling Glacial Spearmint but as I said - it’s still colder than cold enough, and the skincare is perfect. The Glacial Spearmint balm has the same lovely scent as the Frosted Spearmint, it’s so moisturizing, soothing, and icy cold, while the Frosted Spearmint aftershave’s scent lasts for a long time and it’s so FRIGID. Three passes sufficed for an absolutely perfect BBS shave!

I wish everyone a wonderful, relaxing Sunday - be well and safe!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Jayaruh #395
C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher
Heljestrand Wedge
CWR
Florida Water Cologne

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #395 Badger Brush. 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 Florida Water Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hab' gerade dein Post gelesen. Vielen, herzlichen Dank, mein Lieber. Alles Gute wünsche ich dir und deine Familie!!
