    It is Tom White Week v.3D. This week will feature some of Tom's 3D creations.

    The Kiss My Face Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #434 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER 3D Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Awesome shave my friend!

    I also have the Hega aftershave and I think think it’s really good. By the way I received a vintage Hega shaving stick from a Swedish friend of mine a long time ago and it’s so good. What a pity that it’s no longer available.

    Menthol Monday:

    One hell of a beautiful Grand Freeze!

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Shark day 13
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    This Glacial Strawberry Lemonade is one of the newest scents which Rod launched last spring and I sure hope that he brings it back this year because I absolutely LOVE it. I would say that the strawberry is more of the dominant note but you can still pick up the lemon - in any case it’s a gorgeous scent. The soap lathers so easily - it has so much slickness, the menthol sensation is so potent, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep enhanced the soothing and moisturizing while the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave went on frigidly cold with its lovely, long lasting scent. Thirteen days with this Shark blade - imagine that, but I ended up smoother than silk!

    Have a good week - be well and safe!

    Thank you, Jeff! The Hega aftershave is excellent. I have the Upsala version too, but the original has a better scent in my opinion.

    I've heard good things about the shave sticks!

    I have the R89 Twist and think it's really good.

    Shave of the Week Starting 25 April 2022

    Gillette Red Tip razor
    Gillette 7 O'Clock blade (green)
    Plisson/L'Occitane brush
    Ingram SC (Egypt)
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    Mighty fine shave to start the week with. 1st time with the Ingram from Egypt but it worked just fine. Not much of a menthol sensation but enough to enjoy. Like I said, mighty fine shave and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Both The R89 & R41 are superb razors...I like the look of the handle on the R89 Twist, an excellent design.

    Classic shave set up Daniel...I have a great fondness for the Gillette Slim Twist, it was my first vintage razor that was kindly passed on to me by a friend of my father.

    Great shave!

    I find that particular version of Ingram has a terrific menthol punch to it - even stronger than the one in the white and blue tube!
