Lovely and a very enjoyable shave this morning.

Take care everyone and it is Friday!

 

I love the La Toja stick - it smells so nice and it’s a pleasure to lather up with. It also gives me very good skincare. I don’t really care for the cream - it’s ok but I don’t get as much enjoyment from it as I do with the stick.

Friday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Shark day 10
MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Bay rum and menthol - what a marriage made in heaven. Fernando’s Frosted Bay Rum is such a delightful soap - the scent is gorgeous, the tallow formula gives it such magnificent lather, the menthol sensation is heavenly, and the skincare is perfect. Thanks to the Prep I had lots of cooling, moisturizing, and soothing additional care, and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on icy cold along with its awesome old school barbershop scent that I love so much. What a brilliant three pass BBS shave this was!

Enjoy your weekend - be well and safe!

Friday's Shave

Tom White Week

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Stick
Jayaruh #144 Badger
Brass TAR by T. White
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne

The Arko Shave Stick Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Brass TAR Razor by T. White with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Soap : Speick, nice mild spicy scent with lavender + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi 24mm viper boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ach Brito lavanda AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless)

Thanks Paul. The walks have the added benefit of eating up some of her abundance of energy. She's a mix of Labrador Retriever and American Staffordshire Terrier. That's a lot of energy in a small package!
