​

 

Holy Black SR71 Slant

Wednesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 8
Viking Sensitive SC
Nivea Sensitive ASB
Razorock Don Donato AS Splash

This Viking Sensitive cream is the version from Russia which was so generously given to me along with MANY other great Russian creams and aftershaves by a very dear friend of mine from there many years ago when I took my wife with me on a business trip to Russia and we were invited to stay at his and his wife’s house. To this day we’re still in contact and we talk at least three times a week - would you believe that? This cream is originally from Bulgaria but Russia started producing it and in my honest opinion it’s just as good as the Bulgarian version - the scent is pleasant, the lather works up easily, it becomes really thick, rich, slick, and protective, there’s a mild menthol sensation, and it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing. The Nivea Sensitive balm to me, doesn’t smell so nice but it performs very well, and the Don Donato aftershave smells great - not only that, it gives a pretty good menthol kick. Two passes gave me a terrific BBS shave!

Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

I just ordered the Razorock Italian Shaving soap-in-a-glass jar special....is that what you have?

 

Newly acquired, somewhat restored, and freshly honed. This little Swede delivered a very smooth 2 pass shave, that was BDBS. Nice razor, without issues. It is a near wedge, so, it is a little stiff.

Razor- CVH B.K.41. Eskilstuna Seden
Brush- @oscar11 Special
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy.

 

That is a beauty of a brush. Can you tell us about it??
