Very impressive! Enjoy my Lantzman!
The only one I recognize is Irisch Moos and sadly that's another one I would have liked to try.

Thanks Akhi!

It came as a big shock to me that the Irisch Moos stick was discontinued because first the company who was making it was taken over by Maurer & Wirtz who’s the manufacturer of Tabac and honestly this stuff was almost exactly the same. Just the scent is different. A couple of the other soaps pop up every so often on E Bay but at meshiggeneh (crazy) prices.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso White Shave Soap
Jayaruh #4 High Mountain Badger
Christy Safety Razor
Personna Injector 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 Christy Safety Razor and the Personna Injector 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...

Friday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Crystal day 9
Bundubeard Impi SS
Bundubeard Boomslang 1 ASB
Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

These Crystal blades are definitely fantastic - they’re so sharp and smooth as well as forgiving. The Impi soap from Bundubeard is a South African treasure - it’s glycerine based with a very nice coffee/fruity scent, its lather explodes off my brush, it’s so thick, rich with excellent blade glide, it’s mildly but pleasantly mentholated, and it leaves a really comfortable postshave feeling. The Boomslang 1 balm is extremely moisturizing, just a SMALL amount is needed, it’s also slightly cooling, and the scent pairs well with the Skin Bracer aftershave. Another three pass beauty of a BBS shave that was lots of fun!

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

20 Sept 2025

Single use DE Blade

2 Days growth



Cold water shave:
Prep = Proraso pre-shave Wood and Spice
Cream/Soap = Woolly Wash Soapery: Night at the Pub
Brush = Semogue Owners club
Bowl = White plastic
Razor = Tuckaway
Blade = Parker (1)
Passes = 3
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASB = L’Occitane
ASL = VIBR
Scent = Proraso Wood and spice cologne
Damage = None

The Proraso pre shave has a nice scent. Bit thick though as a pre-shave for my liking.

I intended to lather directly over it rather than rinsing it off as I usually do, so I made the Woolly Wash Soapery a bit thinner than normal—too thin, in fact. It ended up dripping everywhere, which is why I needed three passes and not the usual two.

This reinforces my view that a well-hydrated, but well-structured lather is indispensable to achieving a quality shave, though others may hold differing opinions ………

All scented up for the Saturday ahead.

Spring is in the air at last.

Have a good day one and all…
