    Schick Sunday Shave, Oct 30th, 2022

    Razor : Stick Schick, L type theme series- Mfg 1973- mild range, interesting razor and it is very comfortable to shave with + and a joy to use.
    Blade : Schick Personna injector SS PTFE(9) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
    Soap : Mitchell's wool fat, nice mild scent when dry but when lathered the scent increases, all I do is cut a few slivers with my pocket knife and press in bowl and with a squeezed brush(2 flicks will do)start the lathering looking for a paste to form and then add some hand water drops or a spray mister keep stirring and add some droplets of water & stir...... until your happy 1-2 minutes later it is ready. The secret to this soap is not to over whelm it with water at first or you will just chase it IMO. Apply to a wet face. Synthetic brushes work excellent also with this hard triple milled soap like shown.
    Brush : Yaqi Moka express 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent 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 : Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Stick Schick injector with a Personna coated blade.

    Menthol Monday:

    My custom made Grand Freeze!

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Astra Green day 6
    MSC Wintergreen SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Wintergreen AS Splash
    Lagerfeld Classic EdT

    Wa Allahi Azim, my brother Fernando made me this Wintergreen soap and aftershave at my request because I wanted something that could match the mighty Glacial Wintergreen in terms of scent, lather, and menthol power - let me say that he succeeded BRILLIANTLY. This soap is a tallow based menthol atom bomb with the exact same beautiful scent as the treasure from Rod, the lather is friggin THICK, rich, creamy, and super SLICK, the menthol sensation is so POWERFUL that it even passes the Glacial Wintergreen slightly, and the skincare is A1. The Prep gave me so much loving skincare, and the Wintergreen aftershave smells so gorgeous just like the soap not to mention how it freezes the crap out of you - it must be used sparingly because it makes the Arctique from B&M feel like nothing. Notice there are no labels on the soap tub and aftershave bottle because they’re not being sold yet. Three passes gave me a splendid BBS shave!

    Have a good week - be well and safe![​IMG]

    The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #432 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Segal Razor and the Segal Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
