SoS: December 26, 2016 - January 1, 2017

Excellent setup Doug! Dig the teddy bear!

 

Wednesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Arko Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #132
Gillette President Y1
Personna Super
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
FD Old Spice AS

The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #132 silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette President Y1 with a Personna Super blade (28) 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 Family Dollar Old Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Mein Gott, you can't imagine how cold this Glacial Obsidian stuff is. Its menthol effect can blow the Cryogen soap out of the park. However, its post-shave care is so soothing and gentle. The matching balm is simply fantastic and it has the same freeze to it!

 

No pics for Wednesday's shave - so sorry!

Here are the tools:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 3
Proraso Green S/C
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Proraso Green A/S Splash
Azzaro Pour Homme EdT

Considerably less cold, but there's still more than enough menthol in this setup. My Super Speed is my most cherished razor and my Plissoft synthetic is preventing me from using my other brushes - that's how much I love it!

 

Wednesday's Shower Plan:

bodywash-Dove Men+Care
deodorant soap-Coast
shampoo-Clubman Country Club**
deodorant(post-shave)-Every Man Jack(Sandalwood)

**thus using two barbershop fragrances (one per shave, one per shower)

 

December 27 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
Nuavia Blu
Scheon Burg 665
Stirling Unscented PSB
Clubman Vanilla AS
