Not even a professional barber could have given me a better shave than what I got this morning. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap lathered so richly and easily, it walloped me with its POWERFUL menthol effect, and its brilliant skincare left my face feeling so moisturized and comfortable. The Lucky Tiger aftershave cream in conjunction with the Snake Bite splash added tons of extra menthol goodness. For this coming week I'll be using my Super Speed!

Awesome setup!

Grifetto!​

Mastro Livi Grifetto rocks! Today I needed a super cooling shave - I do not like the heat and today it seems quite hot here - and I opted for a couple of products I knew they could give me a sort of cooling effect. I used Prep shaving soap, having a moderate cooling effect, and what gave me a super freezing touch was my homemade Thyrrenus aftershave. I in fact specifically made this aftershave for summertime and I wanted it to be super refreshing, just like ice cubes caressing your face. As for Mastro Livi Grifetto, it is always a super performing razor delivering a very close and super smooth shave as well as being very gentle on the skin. What a refreshing shave!​

Nice Cronkite quote

20 seconds seems to be the routine loading time. Regarding bath soap, I'm going to try some from Stirling along with the aftershaves. Maybe it will be as good or better the "bodywashes" I use(Nivea in summer, Dial in winter).

Hi Bill

I've found the easiest place to get this shave cream was e bay. I got it from a seller from India. It was cheap and the postage was amazingly quick. There are also different Old Spice scents available which I hope to try one day.

Sunday Shave

Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- The Bunny with Wild comb and Schick Type G
Blade- Schick (2)
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Pinaud Bay Rum
Florida Water with M-Bomb

Final shave with the Bunny, it's been a pleasure to try and I'll miss it. Same equipment as the last shave except I switched sides. The Bunny got my left side, the Type G got the right. As usual, the Stirling produced a wonderful lather with possibly my favorite scent. I did three passes again and here's the result.
First pass was WTG with both and I had great reduction, I like how audible the Bunny is and how easy it is to clean out. The Type G makes it easier to get into tight spots because of its head size however I still prefer the Bunny. Second pass I went XTG, the Bunny finished this pass closer than the Schick. Third pass was ATG and I'm left with a BBS with the Bunny, DFS with the Schick. The Bunny just gets closer. There was a little bit of feedback from the alum on my left side, zero from the Schick. Even with the feedback the Bunny still wins. I'm definitely smoother on my left side. I think with a little cleanup I'd be BBS with the Schick so that is comforting me since the Bunny moves on tomorrow. Have a great day folks!
