Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap
Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger
Enders Speed Shaver
Schick Proline B-20
Enders Speed Razor Adapter
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Shaver and a Schick Proline B-20 Blade in a Enders Speed Razor Adapter gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Rapira day 11
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Prep ASB
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Givenchy Pour Homme EdT

Damn, is this Absolute Zero soap from Captain Nemo in Kolkata, India something else. It’s vegan based but it’s such a pleasure to lather, it has a very nice aquatic scent, there’s enough menthol in it to give a polar bear pneumonia, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep delivered its own special extra care and the Absolute Zero aftershave has the same lovely scent as the soap with a bone chilling menthol sensation as well as a soothing, gentle feeling. Three glorious passes gave me such a delightful BBS shave that was lotsa fun!

Happy shaving - be well and safe!

ASRazor SOTD, Thursday, May 11th, 2023

Razor : Ever-Ready streamline, 2nd Generation, 1949-53, upper mid range, well built and designed to last + eye candy to myself for a ASR razor. I like to use this razor when blade count is close to 7-10 uses. It takes a few shaves to master this razor but it delivers a nice shave. I did not care to use this razor when learning it and know I enjoy it more, go figure! I use a RIGS shim underneath the modern spline area because it smooths out the shave nicely. Excellent shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice scent (Aramis?) with excellent lather qualities, Yaqi commissioned Master Soap Creations S.A for their soap and fragrance line of products. One of my favourite scents and soaps to use .
Brush : Yaqi "Casino Clubs" 26mm Husky knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle 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 : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Ever-Ready Streamline SE razor with a Gem coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

Shave #15 for this Spanish beauty, since honed on my flat stones. Smooth as silk 2 pass shave, ATG and WTG. It left me with a BBS face. Excellent razor, that holds a great edge. Time will tell, since it isn't a JMP made blade.

Razor- Filarmonica 13 "Doble Temple" "Muleta Sello Oro"
Brush- JR #262 Ebony/Birdseye Maple, with Silvertip Badger knot. One of my favorites.
Soap- TOBS Rose. It came in the mail today, for the wife, but I thought I would give it a try first. Very strong rose scent.
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. Admiral's Flask. Circa 1986-91.
