Thanks for the great post. I don't have a hybrid. Previously, I've never wanted one, but lately I've been thinking about getting one, and so posts featuring hybrids have been particularly catching my eye.

Friday morning’s Atomic Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 11
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Witch Hazel
Lagerfeld Classic EdT

The Glacial Wintergreen soap I used this morning is an old puck that I bought around 8 years ago and I completely forgot about it but it still smells great, it lathers superbly, it gives a monstrous menthol kick, and it feels so soothing as well as moisturizing. The matching balm and witch hazel added tons of iciness along with loving care for my skin. Finally the Lagerfeld Classic fragrance which smells beautiful and I’m good to go. Three glorious passes cleaned me up perfectly - another awesome BBS shave that was so much fun!

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

Pi Day's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap
Jayaruh #463 Synthetic
Gillette Sheraton
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #463 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Sheraton TTO razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The Glacial Wintergreen was my favorite of Rod's cold scents. Sadly, I have yet to see it back on his website.

 

I hope Rod brings it back because I love it too. It’s the original and first Glacial soap which he launched quite a while ago. I still have this puck and a tub that’s running out so if he produces it this year I’ll buy at least four of them.

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend..

The Edwin Jagger shave cream provided a wonderful slick lather in a short space of time....The scent to my nose is a nice clean zest scent that doesn't over power your senses, but lingers in between each pass leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 12
Williams Menthol SC
Nip Man ASB
Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

This morning I started a brand new Williams Menthol cream which a friend of mine in the Netherlands sent me. The scent of this is so nice, it’s so easy to lather - just a small amount is enough to get it going, the menthol sensation is at a good middle of the road level, and it’s great in the skincare department. I believe it’s made in France but it’s also sold in the Netherlands, Belgium, and I also bought it once in Israel. The Nip Man balm has a most enjoyable minty scent and it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing - there’s also a pleasant cooling effect from it. Finally the Skin Bracer aftershave (Thanks I needed that!) and everything’s in order. I may have to change this Wilkinson blade sooner than I thought because it’s getting kind of dull because of my tough stubble that it’s had to cope with. Nevertheless I had a helluva fine three pass BBS shave that was lots of fun!

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