Saturday's Dove Men Face Wash Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap Jayaruh WC4 HMB '62 Gillette Slim Rapira Super Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Classic Vanilla The Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC4 HMB brush. Two passes with my '62 Gillette Slim razor and a Rapira Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Classic Vanilla after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Arko April Focus - CJB Kamisori April 24, 2015 - Week 4 Day 6 Prep - Hot shower and towel Brush - VDH Boar Soap - Arko Razor - CJB Blade - (6) Post - Alum, Clubman Late night post due to early morning but I did get two passes with the CJB and went to work looking good. DFS on face and CCS on the neck but I decided it was good enough. One minor nick on my neck but nothing to worry about. I could have finished a third pass with either the CJB or my SS but decided two was enough for the day. Early morning again tomorrow as usual on Saturday so I'll do my usual Saturday DE shave and be ready to push some quality automobiles out the door!
April 25 SOTD: Homemade PS Oil Vie-long Horsehair Brush Stirling Barber Shop (sample) FB w/Gillette Platinum set on 7 Stirling Unscented PSB Clubman AS
Adequate shave I used a personna lab blue in Der vorschlaghammer today, and I found it less forgiving than voskhod. I got a solid shave but with a few weepers on my neck. B&M Diamond whipped up nicely and I finished with Kyovu Bay Rum. The scents are complimentary and really go nicely for me. I love bay rum, so I could be biased here. All in all, this shave was acceptable, but I think I'll go back to voskhod tomorrow. I am running out of Proraso White, so I may give try Proraso red pre next month.
Saturday SOTD 59' Gillette FB Gillette spoiler blade (2) Simpsons Berkeley brush Pacific Shave Co PSO L'Occitone Cade shave cream LEA aftershave lotion L'Occitone Eav Des Bavx eau de toilette Took a break from the Schick injector and brought the old faithful Fatboy. Great products and a great shave. The L'Occitone products impress me each time I use them. The Cade scent in the shave cream is strong and classy. I went with the LEA aftershave because of its really light scent. I will be getting wiffs of the cologne all day as is has tremendous lasting power without being overpowering to start.
04/25/2015 Razor – Mongoose B2 Blade –Feather Pro (9) Brush –Rudy Vey with TGN Finest Lather – B&M Lavanille Post - Witch Hazel and Myrsol F/Extra sample Fantastic 3 pass BBS shave this morning. The B&M Lavanille whipped up a great slick lather. Finest up with witch hazel followed by a Mrysol F/Extra AS.
My first time shaving with this Stirling Frozen Tundra soap was very, very good. The soap has a really nice scent of wintergreen with some other notes which I can't really explain. The lather takes a bit of extra effort to whip up, but it still becomes rich and slick with great blade glide and the menthol power is STRONG. Not to the same level as a Glacial soap, but still enough to say it deserves four symbols. The skincare, like with all of Rod's soaps is magnificent. I'll post a review very soon.

April 25 Stirling Sheep facial soap Merkur 37C slant bar razor Feather blade (day 2) Omega 10098 Professional boar brush Arko & glycerin Three passes Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Pinaud Clubman The first pic shows my brush loaded and ready to go, and the second one shows what's left on the brush after I face-lathered the Arko. I easily had enough lather (lemony goodness?) for four passes, although I stopped at three. What a fine way to start a Saturday. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
