    I do remember Old Spice Talcum Powder...used it as a kid before shaving "just to smell nice" .

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Razorock Classic Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #40 Black Badger
    AutoStrop VC4
    Feather Stainless SE
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    The Razorock Classic Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #40 Black Badger brush. Two passes with my Valet AutoStrop razor and a Feather Stainless SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    With 2 and half days of growth I was undecided as to today's shave. But when I saw my PAL Adjustable I just reached for it. It was the first shave with this razor (the others being with a pass-around.) Wow. Just wow. The whiskers didn't stand a chance. She just wiped them clean away without even a muss. The shave left me smiling for sure with that coveted dolphin smooth BBS feeling all around. I've been on the road and this was a great welcome home. :happy036:

    Every time I see a mention of Castle Forbes, I recall reading how it was used in the Washington Administration-by President Washington himself.

    it's kind of fun to refer to who was President when a shaving-related item began. Makes a vintage-lover like me smile :).

    None of the above - well, certainly not Booster because of all those aftershaves none of the Boosters even have a cooling effect!

    I do believe this marks the first time I've seen a chainsaw included with a SOTD photo. I don't suppose though that bar oil would make a good pre-shave.

    Tabac Tuesday
    20160126_193831.jpg

    Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
    Razor: Gillette Thin (1st shave)
    Brush: RazoRock plissoft
    Soap: Tabac
    Balm: MLS ITALIAN STALLION
    Scent: Reef Point Submariner


    3 pass shave today. First shave wit these blades and not impressed so far. The other Gillette blades I have tried have been smoother than these. Not terrible, but not great either. Ended up with a few nicks and some irritation but still a close shave. The MLS moisturized afterwards and the scent of Submariner is almost like a Cologne which I love about this aftershave. Hope everyone did better than I did on today's shave.

    8 drops of M bomb! That's a face freezer. I think it is cook to be able to mentholate any lather, the menthol could make a particular soap much more enjoyable.
