SOS: June 2024

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 3
Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

My second outing with this new Glacial scent and I absolutely freaking LOVE it - is it ever BRILLIANT. Along with the cedar I think I detect a slight lemony note, the soap lathers wonderfully with the signature Stirling slickness, the menthol sensation can freeze a polar bear’s ass off, but the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable - like ALL of Rod’s soaps. The Gold Bond moisturizer has no shortage of menthol either and it’s great for sensitive skin. Finally the lovely scent of the Glacial Cedar aftershave along with its bone chilling menthol kick and the job was completed. What a delightful three pass BBS shave this was with my Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword combo!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!

The Palmolive Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Joseph Elliot 6/8 Wedge gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The mildly aggressive 92R cut through my stubble with effortless ease.

A comfortable close shave to finish the month off superbly. In July I will be doing a focus with all my Gillette & Wilkinson Sword DE razors pairing them up with a variety of blades that I haven't had in my blade rotation for quite some time.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Hi Friends,

Here my Sunday Shave (30.06.2024)


Razor: Aylsworth Drakkant + // Blade: Gillette yellow // Soap: B&M Spice // Brush: Zwilling Black Fibre // Aftershave: B&M Spice

A shave with completely new products. Razor, Bowl, Soap and AS as well as the Brush.

It worked very well together. The razor is a pure joy to use. So smooth, gentle and thoroughly in 2 passes. Build like to pass the test of time.

The soap is just wonderful This is the best Old Spice Clone i have smelled so far. Absolutely wonderful. Lathers up quickly (the very good brush did it´s part too) and you can easily dial in the consistency you want it to be. Skinfeel when applying the soap is excellent.

Today i did not use an Alum Block because i wanted to give the Aftershave the chance to perform by itself. And man did it a very fine job. The scent is made in heaven. No stinging, NOTHING. Just pure skincare.

A wonderful wonderful shave.

10 out of 10

Have great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
