    Second shave with this soap was much better. The soap lathered very well and produced a slick, thick lather. There is a very faint scent with this soap, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet. Certainly not unpleasant. Great shave. Hope you all have a great weekend...and to my Canadian brothers, Happy Thanksgiving!:chores016:

    The Glacial Lemon Chill soap gave me a freezing sensation which could have left a penguin shivering and the combination of the Diana Sport balm and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel was so intense that I had tearing eyes and a runny nose for a while. This shave turned out great! :happy088:

    I find that intriguing that the Cardinals and Cubs never played each other in the post-season before this year.

    Today wasn't my best of shaves, because I knew it was time to chuck the dispose-ABLE. I do 3 shaves with each razor. Got out a fresh one, tomorrow should be better.

    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush
    Soap/cream- Barrister and Mann Bay Rum shaving soap
    Brush- Omega S-Brush
    Razor- Merkur 37c
    Blade- Personna Lab Blue(2)
    Post- Cold water rinse, alum block, Humphreys witch hazel, Homemade Bay rum aftershave lotion and Vitru age combat aftershave balm

    Another amazing bay rum shave. I'm on a bay rum high.. In 1 year I might only have bay rum soaps and acting like Gollum "my precious"

    My homemade bay rum AS is the bomb, very soothing and smells so nice.

    The s-brush is a must have, soft but has lovely backbone. Wow

    Great shave this morning. My Arctique came in so had to give it a try and went with my Doctored up Cryogen based Lemon-Lime Freeze but with Emulsion as my pre-shave instead of the usual Subzero I usually use for these occasions. As usual the Cryogen was super, super cold and did not know what to expect when I reached for the Artique. Guess I expected more of a shock factor, but it was not the bone chilling coldness I had already placed in my minds eye. Yes, the coldest and by far the best post shave feel of the hyper-mentholated aftershaves I have but I was expecting more. My fault not B&M as with only one use I really like this one, actually like this more than the Kyovu Bay Rum, Kyovu Original and the Fougere that I have from B&M.

    My face had been taking a beating lately, culminating with a disastrous outing with a PAL Injecto Matic whose blade had popped up over a worn blade stop. So, after a day off, I went for the mild Schick I1. It did not disappoint. :happy088:
