Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Something I've learned since becoming a traditional wet shaver is if I had used a shaving brush, shaving soap / cream method when I shaved with Cartridge razors for all those years my shaves would have been 100% better and more enjoyable as back then, shaving was something I hated having to do with a great passion.

Another close comfortable shave from the vintage Ever Ready 1912 SE vintage razor to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

The Ever Ready SE razors are amazingly smooth & efficient, which I highly recommend every traditional wet shaver to shave with if giving the opportunity to do so.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Benjamins Mentholated Bay Rum.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso White Shave Soap
Jayaruh #4 High Mountain Badger
Gem Micromatic Flying Wing
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne

The Proraso White Shave Soap was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #4 High Mountain Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Micromatic Flying Wing Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Crystal day 8
Vintage Hega Shaving Stick (from Sweden)
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Hega AS Splash

This Hega stick is one of the BEST soaps I ever used and it over 100 years old - wow, it still has such a nice scent, it gives awesome lather, and it’s great skincare wise. The Lubriderm moisturizer is perfect as a balm and the Hega aftershave is still available in Sweden - it smells nothing like the stick but it’s still a pleasant scent. Three passes delivered another super duper BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

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

AAAAnd, today we come to another Throwback Thursday-my favorite shave day of the week. Indian Summer is happening these days, so I went with:

lather-Barbasol Original*
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot Disposable
A.S.-Mennen Skin Bracer**

**-1931

 

Hey Lantzman did I read this right? The soap you used today is actually over 100 years old? That is wild!

 

Yes you read it right Akhi!

This soap is well over 100 years old and the performance is absolutely brilliant. I have another antique Swedish stick that’s perhaps even OLDER! I’m gonna use it in a couple of days!

There’s another Swedish stick called Barnängens Parba and it dates back to 1895.

Here’s a picture of it!

Betakh! (Of course!)

I have quite a few antique soaps such as:

Shavallo (from the Uk)
Irisch Moos (from Germany)
Colgate (from either Sweden or Denmark)
Springreiter (from Germany)
Dalli Werke (from Germany)
Gibbs (from France)

And a couple of creams:

Kaloderma (from Germany)
Cerrus (from Germany)

Not to mention some vintage aftershaves from Russia!

All wonderful stuff that I wish was still available!
