  1. I’m back again with a major Grand Freeze:

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 8
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    I really should have waited until this evening or tomorrow morning to shave because today is Tisha B’av but I have to admit that I was not able to resist. This Glacial Strawberry Lemonade stuff smells so delightful - the strawberry notes seem to be more dominant but the lemony aspect is definitely noticeable. The soap lathers fabulously, there’s so much slickness, the menthol sensation is off the charts, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as moisturizing. The Stoffel balm’s peppermint scent is so nice, there’s PLENTY of menthol in it, and you wouldn’t believe how moisturizing it is - it leaves my skin feeling like it was born again. Finally the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave went on with a POWERFUL menthol kick and its beautiful scent lasts almost all day. It took five, yes FIVE passes to get rid of all my insane stubble. What an awesome BBS shave this and did I ever enjoy it.

    Wishing you all a great Sunday - be well and stay safe. [​IMG]

    Sunday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Barbasol Shave Cream
    Burma Shave Badger Brush
    Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher
    Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Lustray Spice After Shave

    The Barbasol Shave Cream was applied with the Burma Shave Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    • Razor : Eclipse Alpha Shave Works DE CNC Machined 6061 Aluminum Black Anodized. (Hong Kong)
    • Blade : Wizamet super iridium (1) (Russia).
    • Brush : Yaqi caramel cats whiskers synthetic (China).
    • Soap : The Goodfellas' smile Savage. (Italy).
    • Aftershave : Genuine Ogallala bay rum and Sandalwood. (USA).
    • Weight : 48 grams. (razor).
    Hi all,
    I had a brilliant shave this morning with the new Alpha eclipse aluminum DE razor.
    This razor being only the 2nd modern aluminum razor I have acquired the other being the Henson +++ DE razor.
    I normally prefer the extra weight of Stainless Steel and Brass razors but after such enjoyable shaves with the other alpha razors I have tried most recently the
    Guido DE I couldn’t resist.
    I have to say, with absolutely no biased towards any brand of razor. It gave me a superb shave very close and smooth paired with a Wizamet blade.
    Even though the razor only weighs 48 grams (on my kitchen scales) it didn’t feel too light in my hand, I really liked the handle and excellent grip finding it very easy to maneuver around specially on tricky spots.

    The Goodfellas’ smile Savage soap gave me great cushioning and aftershave feel as I would expect from these fine soaps.

    Finished off nicely with Genuine Ogallala Bay rum and Sandalwood splash definitely my favorite bay rum range.

    One pass WTG one pass ATG no touch-ups done.
    No Nicks no worries.
    Cheers.

    • Razor : Gillette Aristocrat Slim Adjustable Gold plated J3 1964 Set on 7 . (USA)
    • Blade : Wizamet super iridium (2) (Russia).
    • Brush : TroyCraft Custom made (Brush Of Memories) (Australia).
    • https://www.facebook.com/TroyCraftCustomShavingBrushes
    • Soap : PEAR-BRRR Duck fat shave soap W.C.S (USA).
    • Aftershave : Rasozero Rinfrescante (Italy).
    • Weight : 72 grams. (razor).
    Hi all,
    I had a lovely shave tonight as expected with the Gillette Aristocrat slim adjustable all ready for an early start tomorrow.
    I chose to set it on 7 which made it quite efficient with a 2nd shave Wizamet blade (In my opinion these are one of the top blades for smoothness and efficiency).

    Like all DE razors the slim adjustable needs to be paired with the correct blade to get the best out of it.
    In my opinion, the Wizamet super iridium blade is one of the best available for smoothness and efficiency and from my experience pairs very well with this razor.

    The WCS Duck fat soap worked quite well giving me good cushioning and zesty fresh aftershave feel.

    Finished off nicely with the Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.

    1 pass WTG 1 pass ATG done no touch ups.
    No Nick’s No Worries.

    Cheers.

  16. Thank you Akhi!!

    Two months of shaving exclusively with MdC soap is working out really well.

  17. I once used only Proraso Red Soap, a Merkur HD 34C razor, and Personna Israeli Red blades for one month. I was following advice to stick to one setup for a month to better one's technique and knowledge of your face and beard. I think it's worth it.

    WOW, my 2nd shave with the 'Eagle/BIC' combo was even better than the 1st.. it seems the Bic matures over time like a fine wine, but I'm not going to push it.. 10 is enough, methinks..
    the ES'GOSH'/ 'Magens Bay' performed flawlessly, making this an absolutely delightful shave. WhatsApp Image 2025-08-04 at 07.55.14_8178a11b.jpg
