FRIDAY'S SHAVE​

Shampoo - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum Puck
Bath Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum Bar

Razor - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Double Open Comb Ascension (316L Stainless Steel Adjustable) (Fully Screwed Down)
Blade - *4th Shave
Shave Brush - 20mm GBS Synthetic 3rd generation
Shave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum *CK-6 Formula
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum
Deodorant - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum
Aftershave - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum in Stoneware Jug
Fragrance - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements/Crown King - Atomic Age Bay Rum Eau de Parfum
Scuttle - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Moonscape Scuttle

I had lined up Spice & Wood, but I just craved the PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum for Friday. I plan on just targeting a Damn Fine Shave and not BBS because of the neck irritation I got on Thursday. I don't see any point in using the CUBE with the CK6 soap as the CK6 checks all the boxes as far as shave quality.

**EDIT - Better than DFS, near-BBS. Got a really good shave in an effort to minimize irritation due to potential left-over skin irritation from yesterday. The results came out much better than anticipated. This is a great shave set. Elite IMO. The shaves are as close to perfect as I could expect. And to top it off, this is my favorite Bay Rum scent, so it's a total win all the way around.

 

Happy belated brithday

Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Epsilon Blue ASL

My first use of an A&E soap (does A&E mean the same thing in the States?) and I'm very impressed.
Thick, slick and moisturising with a pleasant scent, excellent.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Friday 12th April



Cold Water Shave

Windrose Closed Comb Slant on a Windrose Handle with a SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum

This Windrose Slant is a very aggressive razor., but teamed with a Middle of the Road Blade gave an unbeatable result. DFS+ with 1 pass progressed to BBS with 2 with a 3rd just because I could.

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap
Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
Gem Contour
Gem Stainless
CWR
PSC Caffeinated AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Contour razor with a vintage Gem Stainless SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday’s fun:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Wilkinson Long Handle/Rapira day 2
RVT The Cabin SS
Dave’s Homemade ASB
Razorock Don Donato AS Splash

This shave was so easy, enjoyable, as well as mega-BBS thanks to the wonderful new razor I bought last week. It won’t replace my Super Speed but for now I’m having such a great time with it. This Cabin soap has such a lovely scent - it’s hard for me to describe it but it’s awesome and does it ever lather like mad. Dave’s balm felt so good when I massaged it on, and the Don Donato aftershave smelled great. Smooth as a glass table top!

Have a super weekend!
