SOS: December 2024

I'm going to buy a Mama Bear soap in the near future....the Clubman clone.

 

I have this Roses and Dublin Tweed. They're both good imo. They are glycerin based soaps.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The vast majority of my shave set ups are very in-expensive, today proved to me yet again that I can always get pleasurable shaves from traditional wet shaving accessories that don't cost the earth...The Dorco Prime platinum pair wonderfully with my mild razors.

The humble grated Palmolive classic shave stick provides a superb protective lather.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (08.12.2024)


Razor: PILS 104 NE // Blade: GBE (8) // Soap: MWF // Brush: Semogue 1305 HD // Aftershave: With Hazel - Marbert Man

This has been a stellar shave. Silk and smooth.

The blade shaved like it was it´s first shave. Gentle and smooth.

An exremely joyful combination with this wonderful razor.

3rd time using this soap. This is such an amazing soap. Scent, performance, skin care…everything top notch. I deeply adore it. 2,5 passes and the shave was done. Applied some Witch Hazel and after that dried i used my trusted Marbert Man with it´s deep warm, spicy and woodsy scent. Paired very well with the soap.

Nothing less: 10 out of 10

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

Greetings
Thorsten

Sunday morning:

Long hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Bic day 11
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

If this Cold Spices soap and aftershave didn’t have menthol they would smell 100% like the Shulton Old Spice. The soap is very thirsty so it’s a very good idea to leave your brush quite wet and this way it’ll give you EXCELLENT lather with lots of slickness, and it has a pretty good postshave feeling. The Lubriderm moisturizer is very soothing, and the Cold Spices aftershave has a fairly strong menthol kick - perhaps a bit too strong because it sort of blurs the Shulton Old Spice scent. Would I buy this soap and aftershave again after I finish them? No I wouldn’t - in fact the reason I’m using them is because they were a birthday gift from a good friend of mine but after they’re gone I’ll forget about them. No complaints about this shave at all - three passes left me as smooth as a baby’s little tukhis!

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