Monday February 7, 2022
Razor: Karve SS CB "D" Plate
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Wolf Whisker Beehive
Soap: Ballenclaugh Honey & Tobacco
AS 1: Humphreys Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1188
Decided to use my CB Karve today to see if my memory is gone or I'm on point.Yep, I haven't completely lost it. Took the same Wizamet from the Overlander and put in the D Plate Karve CB and had a great smooth shave with much better efficiency. I have no problem finding and maintaining the angle with this thing and much prefer it. I wish Karve success with the new offering and glad many are enthralled with it but the Original is my preference. We are fortunate to have the choices we do in shaving today. Use what works for you and have a great day !

Carpathia is a tribute to Bram Stoker’s Dracula: a dark and brooding masculine scent centered around accords of black tea, exotic musk, and evergreen balsam.

Menthol Monday:

A tremendous Grand Freeze!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette Platinum day 6
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Prep ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

This Glacial version of MITA has three times more menthol than the regular one so as soon as you start lathering up your face starts to freeze. The scent is the same - it’s citrusy/tropical in a beautiful way, the lather is so rich, slick, and protective, the menthol sensation is so intense, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep gave me lots of additional postshave care, and the Snake Bite aftershave (I finally finished the bottle!) went on frigidly cold. Three enjoyable passes got me ultra BBS!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick J
Chinese Schick Injector
CWR
Osage Rub

The Tea Tree Body Bar lathered well with the Jayaruh #425 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick J Injector Razor with a Chinese Schick Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Shave of the Week Starting 7 February 2022

Weber DLC razor
Tatra Platinum blade
Plisson/L'Occitane Synthetic brush
Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

First go with the Tatra blade. Smooth and comfortable but didn't feel like the sharpest in the Weber. May try a different razor later in the week to see if there is a difference. Love all the other parts for sure and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Update-Mennen was bought out by Colgate Polmolive, not P&G.

 

You did Meeter AND Snake Bite? That oughta please Doc Ezlovan.

Monday

Soap: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal
Brush: Certifyd with Synbad knot
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (4)
After: Ariana and Evans Post Shave serum

The Southern Witchcrafts soap produces an excellent thick lather. Very smooth shave from the Wizamet blade on day 4.

17 working days left until retirement.

 

I really like their soaps! I recently purchased most of their samplers and they lather really well.
How would you describe the scent of their ‘unscented’ offering?
