SOS: October 2025

Shave of Week Starting 10/20/2025

Razor..............Pearl Blaze
Blade..............Personna Gem PDG
Cream............Col Conk Southwestern Sun
Brush.............PAA Amber Aerolite
Post...............Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S...............Whatever I want that day

Been using much lighter aluminum razors for a bit so the Pearl Blaze felt like an anvil, the thing is heavy! But it shaves well and that's what counts. My face and I liked all the other parts and they worked well together. So my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Menthol Monday’s Intense Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 3
Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
Diana Menthol Balm
Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash

Actually “intense” is a bit of an understatement because this setup can wreak havoc on anybody who’s not not able to tolerate this type of menthol - the Glacial Electric Sheep is one of the coldest soaps on the market - do I ever LOVE its scent, it’s mutton tallow based, the lather it provides is magnificent, it’s so damned slick, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is A1. The Diana balm is from Austria, it’s pretty much unscented, it’s very soothing as well as moisturizing, and it delivers tons of icy cold menthol. Finally the Northern Elixir aftershave went on frigidly cold with its nice peppermint/eucalyptus scent. Three passes gave me a helluva great BBS shave - by the way these 7 O’Clock blades are terrific - much better than the 7 AMs!

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