SoS: March 2022

Thanks, Steve!

 

I found their website and I see that they have a few soaps available. Did you purchase from them directly? I'm going to investigate to see if they ship to Canada.

It was a gift from my mother in law. But i can source it locally easily if i wanted to. The soap performs extremely well and its a hard soap. The lavender scent is a a very nice one and smells like a lavender bush. Soap has nice slickness and lathers easily. Im not a soap connoisseur to he honest, but i have a lot of soap. So I will say that this soap does do one thing that others dont.. the lather tends to coagulate, im not sure thats exactly the word im looking for or what it is but the lather clumps together and almost seems like its drying out. So im going to say its a thirsty soap and I’m pretty sure you wont be disappointed with it. Im at the very end of it and i transferred it to my mug since i only had a ring around the tub.

Thank you for letting me know! They don't ship to Canada so I'll take a look to see if I have any other options. Have a great day!

If you are interested, there is a shop near my mother in law. I can have her buy one and I can ship it to you.

Sure not a problem. Just let me know what scents you may be interested in and when she goes she can see what they have and grab one.

Hi Friends,

Here is my Shave of the Day (13.03.2022)


Razor: Mulcuto (New Model) // Blade: Personna red // Soap: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber // Brush: PAA Green Ray // Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

Good shave. The razor is a loan from a nice buddy in our German FB group. I am a „Mulcuto Schrägschnitt“ Fanboy so i was intrigued to try the new version. Open and Closed comb. Of what i have heared the razor should be very mild. The razor is from „good“ quality. Not more not less.

How has the shave been will you ask? It was ok. The razor is definitely THE mildest razor i had ever on my skin. This mildness causes, that it is not that thoroughly. You need to go over one spot (especially in my trouble spots) multiple time with a bit of pressure.

It paired very well with the red Personna, the shave went irritation free but there are other razors (even cheaper razors) which can do the job quite better. So, i am happy to test this razor, but i will not going to buy it.

The soap is fantastic. The scent is a Barbershop type scent added with a bit of gunpowder which makes it even more lovely. Glide, cushion and skincare are top notch. I love this soap.

The brush had no problems whipping up a great great lather in no time. It has the softest tips i have known so far for a synthetic. Splays very good and has almost no backbone, but exactly this is what i love.

The Pinaud Clubman gave the „Oldschool“ feeling at the end of the shave. So classy. I think i should use this stuff more often.

So Friends, this is it for now.

Take your time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Menthol Monday:

A true blue Grand Freeze!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/King C. Gillette day 13
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Prep ASB
Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Osage Rub AS Splash

If this shave was any colder my face would have disintegrated - this Glacial Black Cherry soap packs such a lethal menthol wallop along with a beautiful scent. Along with the black cherry I think there’s a bit of a vanilla note, the lather is perfect, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel is very mildly scented and comfortable on my skin, the Prep feels so good, and the Osage Rub’s minty/eucalyptus scent to me is very nice and the menthol sensation is so intense. Three passes left me totally BBS - what a great shave!

Wishing you all a good week - be well and safe!

I got the RepliTech razor and a boatload of blades from the TSD Raffle courtesy of AztecMike. Thought I should try it out but wasn't really thinking that this would work out to well. Surprise!! The darn thing shaved like....well.... A Tech. The Bic Astor blade was a surprise also, it was smooth, comfortable and effective. Why have I not heard much about these blades? In the RepliTech, it worked very well indeed. So, it was a revelation and a good one at that, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
