I'll be using that next week....alas, not Shulton, but Stoylin.

 

Thanks Paul. I love Irish Springs. Much more than I thought I would. I'm interested in trying out the new bowl as well. It is much bigger than I imagined it would be. I think it will be great for lathering with so much space. I like the monster razors and I must say La Criatura looks much cooler in person than the pictures convey. It is really a bright cool green. I am somewhat excited to try everything tomorrow morning

 

Great image and shave Guy. Looks very cool.

SOTD : 13th March 2022.



​

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Sea Salt & Fennel Extract 2 in1 Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Simple Pure Bar Soap.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Naples Tuxedo Synthetic.
Bowl Lather.
Bowl : Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.
Lather: Derby Normal Shaving Cream.
Blade: RK Stainless. (D2)
Razor: parker 22r.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./ Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Gummy Traditional Turkish Lavender Cologne./The Real Shaving Co. SPF15 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser.

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The RK Stainless felt super smooth & efficient on it's second outing....I find that some DE blades especially stainless & teflon coated ones start show to their true potential after a few shaves... This seems to be the case with the RK Stainless.
The derby normal shaving cream doesn't have much of a fragrance, which for me personally isn't a great issue. It's slickness protection and post shave feel make up for it's lack of fragrance.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co. SPF15 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe, and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.

Temecula resonates with me because four years ago my wife and I went on a vacation in Los Angeles. We actually visited a winery in Temecula. It’s a beautiful place!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #414
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #414 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sunday morning - not quite a Grand Freeze but close:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/King C. Gillette day 12
Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

It’s been quite a while since I last used my Frozen Tundra soap and I definitely need to use it more often because it’s so nice. The scent is lovely - it’s a blend of peppermint, wintergreen, and some earthy notes, the lather is so rich and super slick, there’s lots of menthol in it - in fact it’s Rod’s second coldest soap after the Glacials, and the skincare is terrific. The Prep and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave were such a perfect finish. Smoother than silk from three glorious passes!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!
