Thursday morning: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Derby day 6 Bundubeard African Potato X 3 SS Prep ASB Osage Rub AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP What a terrific shave this was and what a monstrous freeze. My Plissoft synthetic whipped up super thick, rich, slick lather from the African Potato X 3 soap which has such a delightful scent, the menthol sensation started immediately and by the time I picked up my razor my face felt totally frozen. The Prep and the Osage Rub aka the Rubby Dubby Doo were a perfect finish. I did three passes and I ended up with a corker of a BBS shave! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thursday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Vintage Life's Morning TOST Oscar11 synthetic The ALUMI-TAR by Tom Gillette Silver Blue CWS PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm The Vintage Life's Morning TOST Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Oscar11 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with The ALUMI-TAR by Tom razor with a Gillette Silver Blue DE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. I started out on the equivalent of 6, but halfway through, I took off a little skin on my chin. I was too confident. I backed it of to 4 and finished easily. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

13 February 2020 Trying to stay true to my goal of using up creams as they have limited shelf lives compared to soaps. And the same goes for aftershaves that are approaching "empty". Of course my evil master plan is to show SWMBO that I'll need to order replacement stock in the near future. BWAHAHA! Good performers all this morning. That RR brush creates tons of lather!
