SOS: December 2025

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Adopted Acres Homestead Barbershop
Brush: Jequil & Corenveo 24mm
Razor: 1960 Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (1)
Post shave: Gillette Gel

 

Wednesday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 3
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

Did I enjoy this shave? Not too much because first of all I gave myself a little weeper near my chin although it was definitely my fault. Second of all the Cold Spices soap and aftershave are not what they’re cracked up to be - as I’ve said before the menthol sort of spoils what is supposed to be the Shulton Old Spice scent that I love so much. Yes, the soap lathers well and it’s very slick but it’s not so skin friendly. The Lubriderm moisturizer saved the day for me and a quick touch of my styptic pencil healed the weeper right away. The Cold Spices aftershave went on with a good chill but the menthol got in the way of the scent. My wife said that it doesn’t suit me and I agree because there’s no place for menthol in the Shulton Old Spice. The only reason I’m using this garbage is because it was a birthday gift. Three passes gave me a great BBS shave so I shouldn’t complain too much.

Enjoy your day my dear friends.

Cold Water Rinse
L'Occitane Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #4 2-band Badger
Henson Clone Safety Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea Shave Balm

The L'Occitane Shaving Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #4 Two-band Badger Brush. Two Passes and touch ups with the Henson Clone Safety 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 Nivea Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Will definitely look into this Barbershop soap.

 

On this Throwback Thursday, here's what I went with:

prep-Suave 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Stoylin Sigma Oud*
brush-Stoylin 26 mm/ Pro-Handle synthetivc
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Agadir 4 Men*

The scent is Agarwood-originating around the 13th Century. Stoylin came a little later, 2012. Not sure about Agadir.

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Adopted Acres Homestead Barbershop
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T2
