Fabulous shave today. Froze my face with the last remnants of the super mentholated Captain Nemo Absolute Zero. My only complaints about this shave soap is that it’s often out of stock and the tin is too small. This Ragg is always stored in its travel case so I sometimes overlook it. Easy Peasy, quick and super close shave. Oh, and topping all off with vintage Old Spice was a real treat all by itself.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger
Parker Variant
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Palmolive Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Parker Variant Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday morning:

Capra soap as a facial wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Wilkinson Sword/Derby day 5
Biolijf Spice SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Brut Oceans AS Splash

My Razorock Plissoft synthetic is an amazing brush - from the first day I loved it. The Biolijf Spice soap is from the Netherlands and it has a lovely scent, it gives terrific lather that has lots of slickness, and it’s very skin friendly. I had great soothing from the Aloe Vesta moisturizer, and the Brut Oceans aftershave smells awesome. Two passes were sufficient for a super duper BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Happy February!
