    SATURDAY'S SHAVE

    [​IMG]

    Perfumed by:
    Olivier Creed
    [​IMG]

    Razor - Sterling Soap's Slant
    Blade - [​IMG] *3rd Shave
    Shave Brush - 22mm "Synthia" Chrome Synthetic Nylon
    Chrome Razor/Brush Stand

    Shaving Soap - Dr. Jon's "Lemongrass & Geranium"
    Aftershave - Dr. Jon's "Lemongrass & Geranium"
    Deodorant - Ayelet Naturals "Lemon Ginger"
    Fragrance - Creed - Vetiver Geranium

    I debuted this one nearly a month ago and I remember the Dr. Jon's shave soap was primo. Can't wait for the shave tomorrow morning.

    ***EDIT - 2-pass + clean up. BBS. Great shave. Yep, this soap is a '10' and ties Catie's Bubbles Le Piment de La Vie "Cream Soap" circa 2015, which is the benchmark I compare all soaps to for a '10' rating. This Dr. Jon's is in the form of a soap yet when decently loaded and lathered, performs like a cream. Dr. Jon's just became my favorite "soap" and the Catie's Bubbles 2015 era cream is my favorite "cream". I used PAA Mysterium Serum for the post-shave balm.

    2015-05-25, Saturday

    Further to Primotenore advice, this morning (04:00!) I tried a new procedure.

    However, I cannot say much about difference because, being very smart, I introduced two more variables to the loose lather test: a never tried before blade (Ladas) and a pre-shave cream (a brushless cream which I hate as a shaving cream, but exceptional as a prep).

    Hence, will have to do it again...

    Anyway, in spite of an early wake up and consequent not-so-in-shape skin, I had a wonderful shave. Maybe also due to the fact i took my time and avoided usual rush and, last but not least, MT soap performance.

    Ladas (whose logo always reminded me of an airline one...) did its job: I would not kill to get one, but, as well, would not complain should I have to use it again.

    Saturday Straights' Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Morning TOST
    Oscar11 Synthetic
    Henry Taylor 5/8
    CWR
    Barbasol Brisk

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shave Soap face lathered well with the Oscar11 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Henry Taylor 5/8 straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol Brisk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
