SOS: July 2025

Thursday 10th July
Star 1912 + GEM Stainless #10 + Highlander TSR ‘23 LE + Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood + Electrif's Bay Rum v3 + Aloe Vera Gel

 

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchel's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger
Gillette Fatboy G2
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Vegetal After Shave

The Mitchel's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fatboy G2 Razor (7) and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday morning’s Frigid Announcement:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 12
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash

Damn, this Frosted Lavender scent is absolutely GORGEOUS. My dear brother Fernando is a Grand Master of soaps and aftershaves and these two are examples of his talent. The soap is tallow based and very similar to Stirling, the way it lathers is AWESOME, its menthol sensation is easily a match for any of the Glacials, and its skincare is fantastic. The Stoffel balm is another South African treasure created by my other dear brother Jaco - this stuff is icy cold as well as super soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave not only freezes the daylights out of you, its scent lasts for hours. Three passes cleaned me up superbly - another brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed from start to finish!

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

Hi @Jayaruh is the Gillette silver blue a modern blade as in a Russian made one? I don’t think I’ve tried that blade
Always good to see a fat boy and shave of the day.
