Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave Cold Water Rinse La Toja Shave Stick Jayaruh #292 High Mtn White Joseph Elliot CWR Dickinson's Witch Hazel Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB The La Toja Shave Stick lathered well with Jayaruh #292 High Mtn White badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Joseph Elliot 6/8 Straight Razor gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Saturday morning: Capra soap as a facial wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Junjie/Astra Green day 13 De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris SS Nivea Sensitive ASB Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick Bleu de Chanel EdP This De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris soap may be cheap as chips but is it ever terrific. The scent is clean and soapy with some aquatic notes - it’s very pleasant, it’s so easy to lather, and it leaves a comfortable postshave feeling. I don’t really care for the scent of the Nivea balm but it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing, therefore I can tolerate it, the Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria stings like a bugger for a couple of seconds but then it feels great, and it’s nice scent moves out of the way for the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance that I love so much. A most delightful three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much and now I’m off to the synagogue. Enjoy the weekend - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stirling Arkadia/Shave # 109 September 16 I'm primarily a face latherer, but I decided to try bowl lathering in order to finish out this puck of Stirling Arkadia. About 10 years ago, I purchased a large Robert Becker scuttle that I have never used. Today was my first attempt at bowl lathering. I'm a fan.
