SOS: December 2024

Thanks. I appreciate it's 'not terribly aggressive'. I've found there's a point where efficiency turns into aggressiveness.

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (11.12.2024)


Razor: RazoRock SLOC with Maggard MR5 // Blade: GBE (9) // Soap: RazoRock SMdF // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Witch Hazel - RazoRock SMdF

Another wonderful shave is in the books.

Not BBS, but very close.

2,5 joyful passes, smooth and gentle even with this blade in it´s 9th use. Worked like a charm.

The scent of the soap is so elegant, man do i love this stuff. Lathered up in my Fine Bowl and had lathered for multiple shaves. After rinsing my face, i applied Witch Hazel and after that dried down i took a healthy splash of the fantastic smelling Aftershave. No menthol in it but no big deal. This scent reminds me quite a bit of a Cigar / Pipe Lounge. Calming and relaxing. Wonderful.

10 out 0f 10

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

Greetings
Thorsten

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
SlimGem 3D Printed Badger
Supply SE Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Old Spice Cologne

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the SlimGem 3D Printed Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector razor and the Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Old Spice Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Long hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Bic day 14 (last day)
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash

Man alive this Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave smell so gorgeous and they’re two menthol atom bombs - my dear brother Fernando really nailed it with these treasures. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such AWESOME lather that’s so thick, rich, and super slick, the menthol sensation competes with any of the Stirling Glacials, and it leaves a very soothing, comfortable postshave feeling. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Frosted Lavender aftershave finished the job beautifully. The Bic blade reached the end of the road but it gave me one last hoorah with a great three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

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

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Bic
Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS
Nip Man ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

These Bic blades are pretty damned good even if I say so myself - not only are they sharp, they’re very smooth and forgiving. My dear brother Jaco’s Klipspringer’s Kick soap has a great coffee/peppermint scent, it’s glycerine based but it gives really thick, rich, creamy lather with a pleasant menthol sensation, and it’s chock full of good skincare. The Nip Man balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing and it’s quite cooling. Finally the Alt Innsbruck went on icy cold with its beautiful old school European scent that I really love. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that was so much fun!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
