SOTD for Dec 30th was very nice.............. C&E Nomad soap face lathered with Simpsons Duke 2 Best Red Tip Super Speed w/7 o'clock yellow Witch Hazel rinse followed by Nivea ASB finishing w/Old Spice 2-passes w/touch-up for a near BBS shave................
Wine Wednesday Another superb shave with Fireside. The lather and post shave feel are second to none. It whips up easily and provides a measurably smoother shave. Three passes with my Futur and a Voskhod leaves me with a drama free BBS. I may try a feather blade next to really test this slickness. I finished up with my favorite menthol aftershave: Krampert's Finest Frostbite, because my refill came in yesterday. I ran out a while ago, so it's return was more than welcome. Prep: PAA Ice Soap: B&M Fireside Brush: Brothers Bristles Spartan Bronze Razor: Der Futur Blade: Voskhod (3) AS: Krampert's Finest Frostbite
12/30/15 - Change of plans I posted a planned shave for today last night, but was inspired just as I finished up to grab up the bottle of vintage Seaforth Spiced cologne/aftershave and thus had to take another photo! Prep: Hot shower Lather: Route 66 Lumberjack Brush: Omega 10066 Mug: vintage Seaforth (soaking only) Razor: Weber PH Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (2) Post: Seaforth Spiced I received both the mug and the cologne last year for Christmas. I use the mug every time I need to soak a brush and have used the cologne a few times. I like the way it smells and really love the nostalgic appearance and feel of the heavy glass bottle and mug.
Wednesday, December 30 WSO "Signature" CH1 Two Band Super Badger '47 Gillette Super Speed Feather (4) HTGAM Cavendish AS/Balm Have a great day!
SOTD December 30, 2015 Pre: Warm shower Blade: Rapira Supersteel Razor: Wet Shave Club 3-piece Brush: Trader Joes synthetic Lather: Traders Joes Shave Soap (sandalwood) Post: Witch hazel splash, Speick, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, ATG, touch-up Using items from A Close Shave Kit from Trader Joes. I started this shave as a cold water shave, but then the Trader Joes soap wouldn't come off the razor during swishes in the sink. It was really odd. I refilled the sink with warmer water during my first pass and the soap came off after that. I wanted to try a cold water shave again because the results yesterday after my first attempt were terrific. But I guess this soap needs hot water to rinse off. The soap has a pleasant scent and actually felt incredibly slick through the shave. I'm really enjoying the Speick aftershave. I hope everyone has a great day!
Did I ever freeze with the Glacial Wintergreen trio. I also got a wonderful BBS shave with so little effort!
