Monday Afternoon.... -Irving Barber Shavette -Honeyfarm Designs 24mm Finest -Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic -Stirling Glacial Lemon Soap and Balm I was planning to go take a picture of this stuff in a snowbank or on a snowy cedar bough or something, but it was snowing and even though it is only zero outside, the windchill was around -16. So after I closed the front door and pulled my sundress back down off my head, I slinked back into my bathroom and took them there. Definitely a face freezer. They are good for you every once in a while.

Tuesday's Dove Men Face Wash Arko Shaving Stick Jayaruh #142 Gillette Blue Tip SS B3 Personna Super CWR, Asma Alum Block T.N. Dickinson's WH Pinaud Clubman The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #142 black badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Blue Tip SS B3 with a Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Really nice shave with the big Kropp. Not my closest shave but very close and with minimal alum noise afterwards. Hot water preparation AOS Lavender PSO Haslinger Honig Shave Soap T&H Wellington Super Badger Kropp 7/8 Osma Block d'Alun AOS Lavender After Shave Balm Happy shaving everyone - Karl
TABAC Tuesday SOTD Razor: Supply Provision The Single Edge Blade: Personna (D01) Brush: M&F Blonde Badger 25mm Bowl: Buffalo Horn 6" Pre Shave Scrub: Tiki 1920’s Barber Shoppe Pre Shave Balm: Proraso Sensitive Shave Soap: TABAC Post: Monster Alum Block Aftershave Balm: TABAC Cologne: TABAC This morning shave with a new Personna blade was pretty rough. I went ahead and finished my shave and then pulled the blade to look at it. Edge had two chips in it somehow so tossed the blade and will try again. Previous shave with a Personna blade was actually pretty good so I was taken back by the rough shave, but like other have stated Schick is a tad better than Personna blades.
SUNDAY SHAVE Prep: RazoRock Mister Joe Razor: Gillette ball end tech Blade: Gillette Green Brush: Maggard 26mm synthetic Soap: Blackship Grooming- Jolly Rodger Post:SDP Terroso balm Had a unusual shave, troubles with lather stability made a very thin lather, but the scent is awesome for this time of year. Also was having trouble with the SDP balm burning my face so not sure if it will stay in the den, may end up trading it or running another PIF. MONDAY SHAVE Prep: Taconic Bay Rum Metholated Razor: Gillette ball end tech Blade: Gillette Green Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc Soap: B&M Leviathan Post:Osage Rub/ Local Gent Fields & Streams balm Very nice 2 pass shave this morning. The scent of Leviathan is a nice coffee Sandalwood which went well with the snow and cold weather here in Detroit, and paired nicly with the LG balm. Hope everyone had a great shave !
