Anything goes Artisan Australian

2 Day growth

Cold water prep
Cream/Soap = Australian made Woolly Wash Night at the Pub, straight in the wet brush
Brush = Pura Setola
Face lathered adding water as needed
Razor = Gillette Labs (2)
Passes = 2 and done
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASL = Clubman Reserve Whiskey woods
ASB = TOBS Royal Forest
Scent = Bulgari Wood Essence
Damage = none

Today I tested the Gillette Labs on a 2 days growth

Super clean after the first pass. Could have stopped there but went in again for a 2nd pass
Super-duper close shave, about as good as it gets really

Surprisingly the Alum gave no feedback despite the very close shave

There was still that wonderful post shave feel and slickness so it must be the lubricant in the strip on the blade holder

This will be a good option for a cheap travel companion, with a synthetic brush and a simple tube of shave cream!

Have a great day everyone

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Stirling Soap Bay Rum
Razor: Feather Popular
Blade: Feather Hi Stainless (1)
Post shave: Clubman Pinaud Reserve Whiskey Woods

 

What a beautiful shave you had Lantsman!

Tuesday morning:

Long shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
MSC Vintage Spice SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

This morning I was in the mood for the gorgeous scent of the discontinued Shulton Old Spice and do I ever wish that I could my mug as well as the two backup soap pucks but I looked all over the house and I just find them so the Vintage Spice is a perfect substitute. Does this stuff ever smell like the real deal, the soap is a tallow based treasure with such awesome lather that’s so slick, and it’s so skin friendly. The Lubriderm moisturizer and the Vintage Spice aftershave were a great finishing combination. Three passes gave me a most delightful BBS shave - wowwww!!!

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

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
Burham Safety Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap was face-lathered well with the Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Burham Safety Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
