Sunday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed7AM day 12
MSC Vintage Spice SS
Fino ASB
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

My brother Fernando really nailed it when he came out with this Vintage Spice soap and aftershave because the scent is not only beautiful, it’s EXACTLY like the Shulton Old Spice which IMHO should never have been changed. The soap’s tallow formula promotes such thick, rich, mega slick lather, and the skincare is perfect. The Fino balm is so soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Vintage Spice aftershave is witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging from it and the scent is not only as beautiful as the soap’s - it lasts all day. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Have a good Sunday - be well and safe!

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club Boar Brush.

I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I agree-it should have remained Shulton. It's like "Hey, this is a great product. Let's change it and see what happens".

Sample Sunday
Blackland Blackbird Brass 110 OC
PAA Strangelet (4)
WCS two tone Silvertip
WK Entropy Man sample
Captains choice bowl - not shown
PAA The Beach Aftershave and Cologne
I like this soap scent, this one could easily get on the list. Easily whipped up a wonderful lather.
I normally face lather but since it’s a sample I used my captains choice bowl and can see that this soap lathers much better in a bowl than on the face. Some other soaps I have found to perform their best face lathering, this one as others like PAA for example, as well seem to do better in the bowl.
Just my experience.
These stranglette blades are so sharp and smooth I may be getting a bias towards them as the performance is outstanding.
Reminds me of an SE shave.
And who doesn’t love the Beach, great stuff.

 

Sunday Shave

Soap: Kiss My Face Fragrance Free cream
Brush: Doug Korn
Razor: Henson AL13
Blade: Astra SP
After: CeraVe cream

Wow, KMF really creates mountains of excellent lather! I pumped a squirt of the cream into a wet brush and face lathered. Twice I had to add more water. I looked like Santa Claus by the time I had the right consistency. I had so much that I did a third pass, which I hardly ever do. After that, I still felt wasteful about the amount of lather left in the brush. A new Astra blade in the Henson was very smooth.

An almost spring day in Washington state!

Hey Mike
Is that the mild? I'm super impressed with the results I consistently get with this razor!

Paul

 

Yes, that is the mild one. I agree -- it is an easy, comfortable shave. I like my blue one, but now I find myself wishing for another color so that I can make more color-coordinated SOTD pictures. I like your silver one.

 

Mike I'm thinking the same thing! I like your blue one!
