Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 4
MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Bay Rum AS Splash

This Frosted Bay Rum soap and aftershave are something else. My dear brother Fernando is a true master of the trade in every way imaginable. I swear, the scent is absolutely MAGNIFICENT - in fact to me it’s the most beautiful bay rum scent I ever experienced, the soap’s tallow formula promotes brilliant lather that’s so thick, rich, creamy, super slick and protective, the menthol sensation is POWERFUL, and the skincare is awesome. Needless to say the Prep gave me lots of love, and the Frosted Bay Rum aftershave went on frigidly cold but with no stinging or burning because it’s witch hazel based and its delightful scent lasts all day. Not even a professional barber could have given me a better shave than this - three glorious passes got me so BBS - wowzer!!!!!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher Razor and the Ever-Ready Radio Steel blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Vintage English Leather After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Bay Rum frustrates me. I do love the scent, but not the clove persuasion. Thing is, the clove persuasion helps make Bay Rum what it IS.

Sunday SE shave, May 19th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Simple blade clamping system that works well + small head parts that make it nimble to wield on the beard area. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline(4) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity for a AC blade.
Soap : Razorock XXX, nice unique scent that usually puts a smile on my face + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever helpful" 22 mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, firm nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. If a person likes a nice scrub this brush is worth taking a look at IMO, Yaqi shortened the loft + has dense knot.
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 : Razorock XXX splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur SE with a Schick proline blade.(forgot to sure the proline box)


Have some great shaves!

PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum has zero clove. Good stuff in my opinion.

Right, I had a different PAA Bay Rum and enjoyed the no clove situation. May try yours.
