Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
CTAPT Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #461 Synthetic
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman AS

The CTAPT Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #461 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 5
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash

Oh la la my face is so frozen that I could barely feel it - my dear brother Fernando whipped up two winners with the Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave. The scent is magnificent, the soap lathers like a champ and has so much slickness thanks to its tallow formula, the menthol sensation is so strong that it easily competes with any of the Stirling Glacials, and it leaves a soothed, relaxed postshave feeling. The Stoffel balm made by my other brother Jaco is delightful also - a great peppermint scent, it’s strongly mentholated, and it gives awesome moisturizing. The Frosted Lavender aftershave went on with its gorgeous, long lasting scent as well as a boatload of frigid menthol. Another splendid three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

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

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (09.02.2025)


Razor: Henson AL13 +++ // Blade: Gillette Platinum // Soap: MdC Original // Brush: Yannick WH Synthetic // Aftershave: Witch Hazel - L´erbolario Black Juniper

A great shave. My newest razor, this Henson +++ delivered…and HOW it delivered. This is what V1 should have been like. It feels much more like a regular Safety Razor. You have tiny amount of Bladefeel but the shave itself was buttery smooth and still very gentle.

The Brush has a 26mm Turn ´n ´Shave Quartermoon in it. What a fantastic knot. This seems to be my best Synthetic knot i have ever used so far. Does anyone of you know, if this is still made?

Lather was generated fast and in very good quality. A typical MdC soap. Easy and fast to lather.

2 passes plus minor touch ups and i was complete BBS. The razor did a mighty fine job and i really really like it even after my first use.

Applied some Witch Hazel and the Black Juniper which had bites to it. Surprisingly because the shave felt very gentle. Maybe my skin which is a little sensitive due the temperatures outside.

Nevertheless 10 out of 10

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

Greetings
Thorsten

Menthol Monday:

Not only a Grand Freeze, an atomic Grand Freeze!

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 6
MSC Citrus Melody SS*
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

*This Citrus Melody soap is a different version from the original one because it’s literally FIVE times more mentholated. The scent is the same - it’s beautiful, it takes a bit more work to get it going but it still gives great lather with awesome lather with tremendous slickness, the menthol sensation is totally insane, and it gives wonderful postshave care that the Stoffel balm enhances. The Citrus Melody aftershave is totally frigid and it smells so delightful - it’s a very good match for the Eau Sauvage fragrance. Three passes resulted in another brilliant BBS shave that was so much fun!

Have a good week - be well and stay safe!
