SOS: July 2024

Menthol Monday:

What a Grand Freeze this was!

Lukewarm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 12
Stirling Glacial Citron SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash

Did I ever freeze my face off this morning - this Glacial Citron soap and aftershave are the cat’s meow - the scent is so beautiful as well as refreshing and invigorating. The soap provided tons of thick, rich, super slick lather with plenty of cushion, the menthol sensation felt killer cold, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Glacial Citron aftershave were a perfect finishing combination. Man oh man what a cracking good three pass BBS shave this was and I enjoyed it to the max!

Wishing you all a great week ahead!

22 July 2024

4th Week of July setup
Face brush-washed with Van der Hagen Natural brush and Stirling Mentholated Shave Soap
Gillette Slim, setting 5
Astra Superior Platinum, shave 7
Barbasol Pacific Rush with Caffeine and Menthol
Stirling Pro-Handle synthetic brush
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

METHODOLOGY: Above-jawline WTG; below-jawline XTG; full-face ATG; below-jawline 2nd ATG
SHAVE CLOSENESS: Very good. Blade may be shot; will open the Slim to setting 7 tomorrow just to make sure
SHAVE COMFORT: Excellent, as if there wasn't a blade in the razor
NICKS/IRRITATION: None
SHAVE LONGEVITY: We'll see. Didn't quite get to BBS today.
FRAGRANCE LONGEVITY: Velva typically fades away in 90 minutes for me.
OVERALL: The Astra SP blade delivered yet another fine, comfortable shave--but it's probably at the end of the line.
COMMENTS: I have yet to see Barbasol Pacific Rush on store shelves anywhere--and that's a shame.

 

Magnificent!!

 

thank you Gus.

 

A wonderfully smooth & efficient shave with this set up. 2 passes and a slight chin buff to seal the deal. Great shaves to all...
