Last Night's Shave - 01/25/2018

This was a great shave, I got this 1981 NOS bottle of Avon Clint - oddly enough - from Amazon. Really a classic Musk that takes me back to better times. This is a AWESOME match to my favorite Soap Commander Scent. Stayed with the Schick Type L, with the Insanely sharp Vintage Schick Plus platinum blade this razor can be aggressive if the angle is off.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! Jamie

 

My kisser is not only frozen-stiff it's as BBS as BBS could be. The mentholated pre-shave soap started the snowball rolling while giving me a nice, mild cooling effect and softening up my stubble as well as leaving my skin spotlessly-clean. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap lathered like a bomb and its wonderful scent filled the bathroom, the menthol hit like a ton of cold bricks, the matching balm and witch hazel were a perfect finish for such a great shave. Needless to say I'm 1,000% satisfied!

Hope you enjoy your shaves, and have a wonderful weekend!

 

Great looking gear Guy.

A DFS+ shave this morning topped off with my first use of the Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice aftershave splash. My initial impression is that it goes on strong, but fades nicely as to not overwhelm those within nasal range. Nicely tightens & tones. I'm not good at describing scents so I'll leave that chore to one of the more experienced members when they try it. However, I do like the scent.

Nice razor, I almost bought one of those slanted heads but they sold out.

 

Razor - Gillette Diplomat
Blade - silver star (1)
Brush - jayaruh
Soap - Route 66 perfect storm
Balm - Route 66 perfect storm
Post - lavender witch hazel
A/S - proraso green

This shave was simply magic! Love the soap, the love the balm, the scent is nice but can be strong, it burns the nostrils slightly the balm isn’t has potent. The shave blade is awesome and so was the razor. Bbs smooth

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash

Had to force myself to use one of my modern razors after receiving 5 vintage Gillette razors recently.. and I've got a few more Gillette razors on the way.... I'm sure my modern razors will get used once in a while

 

Thank you Marine!

Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum After Shave

Thanks to @Tim Spencer, this was the first time using any Mama Bear soap and this one did a great job. I was able to whip up a very thick and rich lather without any problem and it provided me with great glide and cushioning. I've never used Calvin Klein Obsession, but this soap smells good. I did two passes with some touch up for a great BBS shave.

 

Thank you, Roby!
