Day of deep doubt ...
In my life I have never set myself goals: I tried to give my best and I accepted what was coming.
And, without prefixing it, today came one of the most bleak photos ever taken.
But, perhaps, I remember bad...

And hence the doubt that grip me: is it a revenge of the window? But it was too dark to shoot it there!

Or ... instead of 'seedy', define it 'essential'?
This could be a 'political' way out of it ...

I wanted 'Lavender' and, since Valobra is a soap that has always satisfied me, I chose it for my gear today.

La Feather was a little better than yesterday: she couldn't have been worse, not even trying!
I really like the razor even if I would not mind a slightly larger handle.
Who never disappoints are this EdT and Django!

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
"AMBRE" мыло для бритья жировое
Jayaruh #380
Ever-Ready 1914 Army
GEM Stainless SE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The "AMBRE" Shaving Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #380 Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Ever-Ready 1914 Army razor with a GEM Stainless SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

fine shave Jim..

Superb shave today, close and comfortable with no drama. I used the pomade in my hair and beard with good results. I feel and smell great.

Date:- 17 January 2020

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- WCS Two-Tone Tall (Blue & White) Extra Dense Synth. 26/56mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Arko (4 shaving sticks grated into a 250ml plastic tub) .......
Razor/Blade:- Muhle R41 with iKon Bulldog / Astra Superior Platinum #3
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Natural Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Antiseptic (10)
Fragrance:- Tommy Hilfiger for Men

I don't normally shave every day with the Muhle R41 and I don't know why I'm doing it again, however, my skin still feels super smooth and completely free from irritation, nicks & cuts.

Friday’s freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie/Derby day 5
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH

Only a hopelessly addicted menthol monkey like myself can choose a setup like this when it’s -19 Celsius outside but it is what is and I am what I am. What a great shave this was!

Enjoy your weekend!
