Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The HWF Lanolin Shaving Soap. (no.3) with Lavender & May Chang I haven't added to my shaving soap rotation for a while and forgot how much of a delight it is to shave with.. The zesty citrus scent from the May Chang is a wonderful addition to the Lanolin Soap recipe.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully with no errors to report.

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

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday morning’s Mega Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 9
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

Not only am I frozen solid I’m smelling soooooo great even if I say so myself. The Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have such a MAGNIFICENT scent which is an exact copy of Virgin Island Water from Creed. The soap lathers like a champ, it’s so damned slick, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the postshave feeling is wonderful like ALL of Rod’s products. The Stoffel balm is another South African treasure, and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its delightful scent that lasts for most of the day. Another three pass work of BBS art - what a cracker of a shave this was!

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