SoS: June 2025

Tuesday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
MSC Pole Position SS
L’Oréal Men Expert Hydra Power ASB
Folsom & Company Shambala AS Splash

This Pole Position soap has been sitting around here for a long time so today I wanted to give it a spin and I’m so happy that I did because it’s FANTASTIC. The scent reminds me a lot of Calvin Klein CK One which is really nice, it’s a tallow based treasure with tons of thick, rich, super slick lather, and it’s got a very comfortable postshave feeling. The Hydra Power balm is extremely moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Shambala aftershave gives a nice menthol kick along with its lovely scent. Three passes left me smoother than silk - what a brilliant shave this was!

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

SOTD: 06/17/2025

Razor: Tatara Amakuni

Brush: Paladin Shaving Samurai Badger
Bowl: CaYuen Workshop The Breakwater Bowl
Preshave: Hwayeon Soap Co. Shaving Gel Gel
Soap: BBS Soap Co. Neptune Cream

For today’s shave I went with the Tatara Amakuni with Feather Pro-guards and BBS Soap’s Neptune!

It was another overcast day here in NY to bring up my mood I tried to go with a summery scent. Neptune is fantastic! Sweet, bright, and fruity. It instantly brought to mind the beautiful summer sun and heat that seem as if they are not on their way. BBS soaps always leave an amazing post shave feel too!

What more can I say about the Amakuni that hasn’t been said. To me it’s perfect. Balance, design, weight (SS), the friggin kick-ass magnet cap! Man I love this razor! And it paired exceptionally well with the Feather Pro-Guard!

What a shave! A good one will always brighten the day!

Happy Tuesday! Have an awesome week! Happy shaving!!

Another unique soap my Lantzman!

 

It's definitely a step up from the 34c, and is based on the 'new' head design... I have the 'older' model, so I can't compare it to the recent models..

 

Many thanks.

Whoo! Thanks for the heads up
That's local to me. I am not often influenced, but I bit the bullett and have some Woolly Wash on the way

18 Jun 2025

2 Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Derby Menthol shave cream

Soap = ARKO tub !
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = White plastic
Razor = Gillette No 66
Blade = Wilkinson Sword white cardboard box made in China
Passes = 2 and done
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASL = Old Spice
Scent = Stirling Spice EdT

The Arko has lost some of its stank and no longer inspires hours and hours of the giggles. On the other it lathers superbly. Again, too much lather was achieved, but better more than less

The Chinese Wilkinson Sword was OK, not on par with say the Gillette 7 o’clock sharp edge, but I will be generous and say it is quite smooth

No damage. Great start to another rainy day

 

Thanks Habibi!

All these MSC soaps are awesome - they’re so similar to Stirling!

Wednesday morning:

Quick shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 4
Vintage Cerrus SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

This Cerrus cream was discontinued quite a while ago and it’s a pity because IMHO it’s so good. It’s from Germany and it was so CHEAP over there so it was a perfect cream for anyone on a very tight budget. The scent is very nice - it’s a combination of aquatic and minty notes, it’s so easy to lather, it’s fairly slick, it has a teeny tiny little kiss of menthol, and it’s very gentle on sensitive skin. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me great soothing, and does the Alt Innsbruck ever smell lovely - plenty of menthol goodness to it also. I was a bit rushed because I have to lead the services in synagogue this morning but I still managed to get a very good two pass BBS shave that was really pleasurable!

Wishing everyone a great day - be well and stay safe!
