1 day’s growth

Gillette Labs (4)
OUD
Vulfix

Quick shave, off to the Dentist so I held back on the scent

Simple 2 passer, is this starting to drag on the 4th day of use? I think so…

With its 5 blades It’s a bit clumsy to use around the moustache area and corners of the mouth, needing a different approach compared to a single edge DE razor, but still good for a more abbreviated shave

Enjoy your day one and all

 

I like the Bolzano Superinox inossidabile, I'll give them a run out at the weekend, the longevity of them for me is excellent.

 

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
England Gillette New Long Comb
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Lilac Vegetal After Shave

The Musgo Real Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the England Gillette New Long Comb Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Proraso White
Brush: Stirling boar

Thursday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 6
Musgo Real Classic SC
Nip Man ASB
Musgo Real Classic AS Splash

This Musgo cream has been sitting here in the house for ages so I pulled it out this morning and although it smells and lathers great it lacks in the skincare aspect. It supposedly contains menthol but I feel no cooling from it whatsoever. The Nip Man balm smells so minty and nice, it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing, and it’s quite cooling. The Musgo aftershave has a lovely scent but it feels a bit greasy. All in all a very good three pass BBS shave but it wasn’t as enjoyable as it could have or should have been. Ah well there’s always tomorrow!

Have a nice day - be well and stay safe!

What does "Animalized" mean?

 

It's what they decided to call it... maybe because it contains Duck fat, Beef Tallow and Mutton Tallow..
