Planned Saturday Shave
Pre-shave-Nivea for Men Maximum Hydration(in shower)

Razor-Gillette Sensor 2 Dispose-able
After-shave-Stephan's Bay Rum "Fragrant Skin Toner"(works as an aftershave)

 

[/ATTACH] Saturday's planned shave:

Stirling Pre-shave Soap
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 6
Krampert's Bay Rum SS
Krampert's Bay Rum AS
Acqua di Selva Cologne

I decided to put my freezing treasures on hold for tomorrow and have a Bay Rum day - Brian's Bay Rum soap and aftershave both smell magnificent. Until I buy and try Rod's version of this soap, I'll say that so far this is the nicest bay rum I've ever experienced. I haven't test-lathered the soap yet, but I'll wait until the morning to do so but I'm confident that it'll work fantastically just like the Frostbite does. I tried on a little of the aftershave and I must say that it seems to have pretty good longevity as well as a lot of soothing and moisturizing. The Acqua di Selva was my favourite and perhaps my only cologne when I was living in Thessaloniki, Greece and I was so happy that I could get it from Italian Barber at a good price. It has such a nice, classy, refined scent!

 

Saturday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Cella
Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip
Gillette Old Type OC/Gillette Aristocrat* 1947 BYR
Personna SS
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The Cella Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip brush. First pass with the Gillette Old Type OC followed by second pass with my Gillette Aristocrat (1947 Birth Year Razor) with a Persona Super 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 Lilac Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
