The Friday Lineup:

Soap/Shave cream: Proraso Red
Brush: Stirling boar
Razor: Oliworks M3teorite - aluminum
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge
Post shave: Clubman Pinaud Reserve Whiskey Woods

 

Friday morning:

Cool shower with Tabac bath soap
Razorock 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash
Tabac Cologne

This was such a wonderful treat for me - the delightful scent of Tabac from top to bottom. The bath soap lathers beautifully and it feels like washing yourself with a block of moisturizer, the shaving soap buried my face with such thick, rich, super slick, protective lather, and its postshave feeling is so comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing, the Tabac deodorant spray works so well and it gives me whiffs of the fragrance all day. Finally the aftershave followed by the cologne and I smell great. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

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

That happens to me if I sit for a long time & stand up fast.
Take care of yourself.

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.

A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Sport Style ASL.

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

Saturday morning’s Atomic Grand Freeze:

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

Not only am I frozen stiff and super BBS, I smell so beautiful and sexy! (According to my beautiful wife!) The Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave are two precious treasures - the scent is an exact copy of Virgin Island Water from Creed, the soap delivered tons of magnificent lather that was slick, the menthol sensation was off the charts, the blade glide was superb, and the skincare was wonderful like every Stirling product I’ve used. The Stoffel balm provided plenty of additional menthol goodness along with tons of moisturizing and soothing not to mention how frigid the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave was - that magnificent scent has terrific staying power. What a brilliant shave this was!

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