    Menthol Monday's OC Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Fine Snake Bite
    Jayaruh #229
    Gillette Sheraton
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Fine Snake Bite Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #229 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Sheraton razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Prep: pre shave soap mix
    Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
    Blade: Gillette Rubie
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft
    Soap: WTF Christmas Time
    Post: B&M Latha Tagia


    Decided to break out the pine/basalm/fir type scents even though it is a bit early. Love the performance of WTF soaps and the scent of Christmas Time is nice and strong, one of my favorite pine scents in the den. Finished off with Tagia balm.

    Prep: Occams Crushed Lime
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Gillette Black (1st shave)
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft
    Soap: Grooming Dept Basique
    Post: Proraso Woods and Spice balm, Lucky Tiger


    Epic shave yesyet day morning. Performance of Grooming Dept soaps is incredible, and the scent of Basique has got stronger then it was at first use. I can't tell if I prefer the vegan formula or the duck tallow, but both are supurb. Got a perfect BBS with no irritation. Finished off with Proraso Woods and Spice balm.

    Prep: pre shave soap mix
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Gillette Black (2nd shave)
    Brush: Fine angel hair synthetic
    Soap: Victory Shaving Rosie
    Post: Local Gent Anubis balm



    Had a smooth shave this afternoon. Really like the rose sandalwood scent of this Rosie soap. Performance is quite nice, have noticed the soap lathers best when water is added slowly rather than all at once. Finished off with LG Anubis balm, face is feeling smooth and refreshed. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

    Post: - Speick Aftershave Lotion / Bulldog Original Moisturiser

    WOW!! God I've missed Speick Aftershave Lotion the light blue/red label gave me a very quick sharp burn feeling for about 10 second after my shave, I'm still loving my SS General follow by Route 66 ~ Barbershop Hop shaving soap with lanolin which is a light, clean, slightly sharp powdery barbershop scent very slick and very thick lather.
