July 2 SOTA Good afternoon. 1959 Fatboy (setting 5) Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (6) Rockwell Synthetic Brush Chiseled Face Cryogen SS and AS Stirling Alum Block Beard Growth: 24 hrs It was hot today so I decided to use Cryogen once again. In fact, I decided to use this soap through Friday in keeping with the just one item per week theme. My matching aftershave will be gone by tomorrow or Tuesday. That's not bad considering I used up a previous puck and I am almost done with this one. Anyway, this soap needs plenty of water to make a nice, slick and creamy lather. However, it's worth it if you really like über mentholated soaps. I have never had a bad shave with Cryogen. Here's my lather: Did 3 passes because I just like the feel of menthol. Lol! BBS was the result without incidents. There was not any alum feedback so that's A-OK with me. Splashed on the matching aftershave and I am off to service very shortly. Have a great evening!
DE Shave 468 - Mediterranean (Malta) Theme Shave # 4 Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: PAA Prismatic Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (5) Brush: Ever Ready 200T Lather: Stirling Piacenza Aftershave: Stirling Piacenza Additional Care: Omega Alum Another awesome Stirling shave as we prepare for a busy day sightseeing around a couple of the islands of Malta. Three passes with the glorious lather and scent of the Piacenza, irritation free of course, have left my face dolphin skin smooth. Hope you all have a great day. I know many do you at the time of this posting are snoozing, except Barry, @palmolive fox. Rest up my friends. We are burning daylight.
A good shave this morning from Tallow&Steel(Classic Two)soap and YSL Homme A.S.. I was reminded of how sticky the A.S. goes on, but it will calm down soon. Not one for summer use, but the rain here has cooled things. One thing that has always impressed me about the Tallow&Steel soap is how nicely it works in concert with my skin after application. One factor for that is how it jumps onto the brush. This soap has Bentonite Clay, of which I have become a fan. Nice job in all areas North 0f the jawline, sadly not as good down at Cactus, as I got a big cut. I eventually got it under control, but will have to be very careful tomorrow. YSL Homme always get high marks on videos of Best Men's Aftershave/Cologne. Better to use in cold months, but you can get by in the summer if it isn't humid. Pretty Outstanding.
