Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A wonderful shave to finish my shaving week.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

I’m so glad that I've revisited the Treet dura sharp carbon blades instead of reaching for my usual suspects, they have worked really well with all the razors I've paired them together with so far.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap
SlimGem 3D Printed Badger
Astra 501 Safety Razor
Wilkinson Sword
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem 3D Printed Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Astra 501 Safety Razor and a Wilkinson Sword Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Wilkinson Sword
Bundubeard Impi SS
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

Oh yes my brother Jaco who owns Bundubeard in Pretoria, South Africa is another soap and aftershave genius. His Impi soap is glycerine based like most of the soaps he makes, it has a really nice scent which is a blend of coffee, fruitiness, as well as peppermint, it lathers so thick, rich, slick, and protective, there’s a decent amount of menthol in it, and it gives excellent skincare. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave finished off the job perfectly. Three passes with the new Wilkinson Sword blade gave me one helluva great BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a nice day - be well and stay safe!

DE SOTD, Thursday, March 6th 2024

Razor : Gillette slim adjustable Hi . Mfg 1st qtr 1962, Well made other than the blade tab overhang that can give nick issues if not careful. Gillette had the engineering brain power to make the blade tab over hang not a issue but they did not. Today all of the disposable Gillette razors have no blade tab overhang(go figure). Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : GSB (4) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier in my den.
Soap : Williams soap mug refill new variant (obsolete)- interesting soap with a clean scent, Williams new formula was not as good as the older version as others have mentioned on the forums, Williams refused to adapt to the changing times with a better formula similar to the old version (You snooze you loose). Artisans soap manufactures offered better products & just blew Williams soap out of business recently with better products IMO. I found you have to use a pastier load on a wet face works well but still dissipates slightly with the new formulation.
Brush : Yaqi " Orbital ring" 24mm boar bristle hair. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice splay 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 : FINE fresh vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 chin small weeper= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gillette slim adjustable with a GSB blade.


Have some great shaves!
