    2 day stubble, always works best for me

    Hot water prep, T&H No 10, Stirling Bergamot and Lavender, Omega 10049, Gillette Red Tip, Blade = Vintage Henckels (1), Imperial Leather, Prada Ocean Luna Rossa
    Score = 9.9 / 10
    Damage: none

    50 swirls, 6 cc water, perfect lather

    Superb sharp and smooth blade for a smoooooth shave. WTG/XTG/ATG. As close as I can get. Thought I felt a wee snick, but no blood appeared

    MWF 0 + 0 + 1 +0.5 + 1 +1 + 0.5 + 1 + 1 = 6
    Cyril R Salter = 1
    Sterling 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +1 + 1 + 1 = 11

  7. Wednesday morning’s Lethal Grand Freeze:

    Quick shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 8
    Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
    Captain Nemo Absolute Zero ASB

    Guys, this Absolute Zero soap and balm are murder when it comes to menthol power. I love the aquatic/minty scent, the soap is vegan based like all of Abir’s soaps, the lather is fantastic, it’s super slick, the menthol sensation is the strongest of any soaps I ever used, and the skincare is wonderful. The matching aftershave is very moisturizing as well as mega frigid. Three passes did the job for me - another terrific BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

    Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
    Tourqued Slant Razor
    Gillette Nacet Stainless
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Duru Cologne

    The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Tourqued Slant Razor and the Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  12. Lovely shave, Stuart! I’m a big fan of some of the latest synthetic bristle brushes as well! No need for pre-soaking and they really work great for face lathering.
  13. Lovely kit, Gary! I remember when you got that beautiful Tech. Classic Rubberset and cool looking scuttle bring it all to a perfect crescendo!
  14. Here I am back after almost three years, and danged, Jim, if your brushes just keep getting better and better. Love the handle on that brush!

  16. Hi Friends,

    Here my Shave of the Da (26.02.2025)

    IMG_6080.jpeg
    Razor: RazoRock Hawk + Maggard MR5 // Blade: Feather Pro Super // Soap: SV Felce Aromatica // Brush: Semogue 2015 HD // Aftershave: Witch Hazel - Antiga Barbearia de Bairro

    A very good shave. Smooth and gentle. The RazoRock is just like my PILS, i love the shaves with it but both dońt get me 100% BBS, but no problem for me. The fell during the shave is always amazing with the Hawk.

    SV delivered as always and the brush had no problems whipping it up.

    Witch Hazel and the absolutely amazing smelling Aftershave to close out the shave.

    9 out of 10

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

    Greetings
    Thorsten
