SoS: December 28, 2015 - January 3, 2016

Planned Tabac Tuesday

Schick type C2 razor
Chick blade
Simpson Berkeley 46 best badger brush
Tabac shaving soap
B&M Cologne Russe aftershave
Tabac EdC

 

That is correct!

If you want a stiffer brush, you can go with shorter loft, 65% tail or mane/boar.

 

Tuesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #39 Synthetic
Micromatic Clog-Pruf
GEM Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Florida Water

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #39 Synthetic brush. Two passes with my Micromatic Clog-Pruf Razor and a GEM 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 Rose Petal WH and then Florida Water after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That explains why the 65/35 50mm loft didn't quite suit me I suspect. I had it lowered to 50mm from the, I think, 57 that was standard.

 

Thank u!

U know sometimes I think ppl get caught up on trying all the newest soaps and aftershaves. I love going back to MWF. It's just plain good soap.

December 29 Plans

Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed (Z3)
Feather (3)
Rudy Vey Custom Shavemac two-band silvertip *
XPEC Unscented
Two passes
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Fine L'Orange

 

I'm quite interested in getting a couple of those ManHands soaps..I don't think they are THAT new, but I never heard of ManHands before I saw the site a few months ago.

 

Here's my shave for Dec. 29:

Pre-shave-Dial 4 Men (Complete Freshness)
Shave-Gillette Foamy Barbershop Fresh
Razor-Gillette Sensor 2 Pivot Plus DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Country Club

Pre-Shave Show(Brought to you exclusively by ME): I didn't put on enough Clubman this morning, this will change tomorrow(and presumably all my Clubman days). Thinking about a return to Barbasol after the Barbershop Fresh..will decide later.

King Cobra with Triad Aristocrat Ti
Feather Pro Super #6
Wolf Whiskers TGN Finest
Shannon’s Soaps Bay Patchouli Grapefruit
Alum, Witch Hazel +Menthol, Whipped Shea Butter
DCCS Small Batch Shave Tonic
Burberry for Men


Today's shave was a two pass + clean up BBS. A slight tugging was noticeable but the Pro Super still delivered a tingling close shave, perfect for a night out with the family. Shannon Soap is one of those extra thirsty soaps, that like a few drops of water added slowly and... BOOM, you get a fragrant, slick and creamy lather with excellent skin care. Bay Patchouli Grapefruit is an excellent light bay scent that went well with the generous splash of the Shave Tonic and later on a good spritz of Bayberry. Hope you're Tuesday is rockin'.

Brush: Badger
Razor: Three-piece
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Lather: Soap Commander Vision (sample)
Post: Witch hazel splash, Fine Platinum, Nivea balm
WTG, ATG, touch-up

A rare evening shave. The Soap Commander Vision has a vibrant, clean, fresh scent. Unfortunately I used a little too much water and it was a little thin. I really enjoy the smell of Fine Platinum! I used American Blend yesterday and it was also terrific. Hope your Monday was successful and tomorrow is a great one!

Can't get enough of this soap, perfection, every time. Asco delivered a smooth two pass shave, and the Veg was the Veg! Been below freezing for 100 hours now! Other than that... all is quiet in Colorado.
