Great shave my friend!

Vi John Icy Mint……could it be the same cream as the Menthol with a different name?

Friday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 12
Bundubeard Sanga Symphony SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Stirling Island Man AS Splash

My dear brother Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa is another Grand Master of shaving products - his Sanga Symphony is one of the BEST soaps I have. It’s tallow based, its scent is so beautiful - it’s clean, soapy, with cologney notes, the lather is unbelievably thick, rich, slick, and protective, and it’s so skin friendly. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing, and finally the Island Man aftershave went on with a two second sting but then it felt great - its scent is MAGNIFICENT, even the wife said so. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

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

I don't know, but it's possible. The city I grew up in, Kansas City, Missouri, both Whitman's candy and Russell Stover candies are both made in the same candy factory.

2 Days growth

Cream/Soap = TOBS OUD
Brush = Simpson Chubby 2 Best Badger
Razor = Executive 1959 E4 set to number 5, no need to go higher
Blade = Henckels super platinum Chrome made in Germany unknown date
Passes = 2 and done
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal
ASB = TOBS Royal Forest
ASL = Proraso Barbe Dure with Oud

This blade surprises me every time especially when compared to its lesser brothers. Sharp smooth and safe. Near perfect BBS in 2 passes. Only minor Alum feedback

I hope to be able to push this one to about day 3 or 4

It's a Texas week-end:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Hub City Soap Co(Pages)
brush-Stoylin "li'l brudder" synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Hub City Soap Co.(Pages)


I'm always happy using Hub City Soaps-based in Lubbock, Texas. There's just A LITTLE BIT of soap left, but a good amount of the A.S. still remains. Pages brings you up to your attic, or that of a library, where you might find items of leather. As I mentioned earlier, the scent of the soap is nicer than that of the A.S. but you get a great shave just the same. Clean, clear shave across the board. No damage.2 nice passes. As Outstanding As It Gets.
