Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...

I really like the Haslinger soaps I have tried so far I consider them a "no bells and whistles shaving soap". The basic plastic packaging wrapper with two sticky labels is nothing elaborate to look at the scent of both the aloe vera & Schafmilch to my nose have a mild clean soapy scent, performance wise both of these soaps are fantastic the slickness protection, and post shave feel are amazingly good, which i consider the most important qualities in a shaving soap or cream.

The schafmilch soap texture reminds me of MWF/ Kent shaving soap that all contain lanolin of which my mature skin type loves, what I instantly liked about it was it lathered without the addition of blooming creating a wonderful luxurious slick protective lather which doesn't dissipate on my face between each pass leaving a superb post shave feel.

An enjoyable comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Oceans ASL.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

awesome Barry that oceans aftershave looks interesting

22 Nov 2023 (No Repeat November)

As basic as it gets: a belated post, a short “travel” interlude…



Prep = warm water and soap face wash
Gel = T&H Authentic No 10
Brush = none
Bowl = none
Razor = Gillette Sensor Excel (fresh cartridge)
Passes = 1 +
Post = warm water rinse
Scent = none
Damage = none

Score = good enough!
Comments = back to grass roots, seems to work well enough as far as a basic shave goes, but waaaaay less enjoyable than usual…

Have a lovely Saturday one and all

Daily use of the balms really helps my face. I also really like the tallow based soaps. Good for the skin!
Sure beats propylene glycol based foam in a can!

I was not so lucky.....a turkey crashed into my car on the way to my brother's house!
Wild turkey! I just got the car paid off! Glad I have full coverage!

Thanks, Joe

Thanks, Joe.
Cold morning with a dusting of snow here!

Excellent shaves Barry! I have never tried Haslinger Schafmilch, but have read it is similar to MWF. Based on your description, I guess the scent is similar to Ivory Snow bar soap. Anyway, have a super afternoon.

Nice travel shave Chris. Sometimes it's good to go back to a cartridge shave to reinforce why we are traditional wet shavers.

That's too bad. What are the odds? Despite the run in with that turkey, I hope you had a nice time with your brother. Enjoy your day Hogie.

Thank you Joe...Enjoy your day.
