SoS: June 19, 2017 - June 26, 2017

Thanks for the plug!

 

A little break from the sun and heat to post for Wednesday:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed with Astra day 3
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Stirling Lemon Chill WH
Pe Re Ja Lemon Cologne

I haven't yet started any of my new Glacials because I'm still using the ones from last year and the year before. This Lemon Chill soap has a freeze to beat the band, with enough lather for three guys to shave. It smells so nice and you just can't beat its skincare. The Lucky Tiger balm is surprisingly enough very cold in addition to its soothing and moisturizing effect. That Lemon Chill witch hazel is the living end, and the Pe Re Ja cologne has a delicious, classy, traditional lemony scent which I love. My wife wishes that I would get rid of it and wear the Armani Black Code which her cousin bought me as a birthday gift, but the fact is I HATE that stuff. There's a very interesting story to the Pe Re Ja cologne which a Turkish gentleman told me!

 

Razor: Gillette Aristocrat (1947)
Blade: Wilkinson (3)
Brush: Amigos Dos Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic LE Jade
Soap: Nuavia Rossa
Aftershave: Folsom Shady Past
Bowl: The Distinctive Goat Sinker Cypress Wood


Heading out to visit one of my sons for a few day. Here is what I'm taking with me.

Razor: Gillette Super Speed (1947)
Blade: Wilkinson (4)
Brush: Omega 10066 Boar
Soap: Nuavia Blu
Aftershave: Myrsol Blue
Bowl: The Distinctive Maple & Cherry
I enjoyed using the Nuavia over the last ten days. I found the scent much better than the Verde. The lather was very similar. I am looking forward to using the Blu as I've heard so much high praise about it.

 

Sweeet setup Doug! The Nuavia Blu is my favorite of the the 3. I hope you like it.

 

I live in WPB. We own hot and humid. Make sure and put on plenty of sunscreen and reapply every couple of hours. If you don't, I guarantee you will go back home looking like a lobster. We are closer to the sun then wherever you live, and most folks don't realize that until it's too late.

 

You're welcome! Thanks for the razor!

 

This lather was epic! Would have been a perfect shave but I think this blade was a dud, was very rough. I owe it to the soap for not showing the shave to be awful.

 

1914? Or is my memory really off? Great razor, though, my #1 S.E. Shaves about like the Damaskeene for me.

 

Gillette Slim (L2) Razor
Treet Silver Carbon Blade
Pioneer Boar Brush (restored)
Love My Skin Tobacco & Bay Leaf Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

First shave with the Treet Silver blade and it worked out very well. I had some slight irritation, but it could've been my fault as I rushed the shave a bit. Other than that, two passes with some touch up for a smooth BBS shave.

 

Great photos Amigo. That's one fantastic travel setup as well.

Happy Birthday, and I look forward to that Chiseled Face combo later this year.

 

Thanks! It's a great combo, the scent is different for sure!

 

might as well bring a Western product to the East Coast! (Besides, I see it has great manly scents, rolled together).

 

Psst..
