SOS: June 2018

Very nice Steve.

 

Good photograph of excellent tools Amigo.

 

Good morning - it's Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
B+M Arctique AS Splash
Lagerfeld Classic EdT

If this was any colder my face would have disintegrated. The Glacial Black Cherry soap packs a bitch of a menthol wallop along with great lather, a lovely scent and typical perfect skincare. The Gold Bond moisturizer is also loaded with menthol and the Arctique can freeze a polar bear out of the North Pole. The new Astra and my famous 1950's Super Speed together with my awesome technique gave me such a fabulous BBS shave which made me look so gorgeous. Loll

Have a good week!

 

Thank you Douglas. A belated Happy Father's Day to you.

Sweeet - Your a fellow BURLEY-head!!! -- Well, I also annoyed Doug with burley requests! He nailed hai karatie, black belt, florida water, 4711 (soap only), Cella - with his CHella cologne - so i am sure he will nail Burley - burley to me is like old spice, with Tabacco flower , 70s musk and funk - smells like a man in the 70's - it just MANLY!

 

Thank you Doug.

 

Did someone say Burley???

Really clicked this morning! Day 2 with this set-up. The La Toja cream is a delight. Rich, cushioned lather in no time. Terrific post shave feel.

RR BC 24mm Plissoft
WSP Olympus Formula T
Thayers W/H Lemon Astringent
WSP Olympus Shave Tonic


Morning shave and the WSP has been outstanding. The scent, lather, cushion and slickness has been exemplary. The tonic has superb conditioning properties leaving the skin nicely hydrated and supple. Did I mention the scent is killer? Not super strong on the soap, yet it lingers when you build up the lather and apply. Fills the bathroom with an excellent aroma and cleaness. If your a hard soap fan, this is definitely one should put on the bucket list. Have a great day and great shaves Gents.... ​

 

Thanks Doug!
