    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #375
    Bunny V3 Injector by Tom
    Personna Injector
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Arko Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #375 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector by Tom with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    After many days of powdery scents, today I turned to cologne even if the Floris one is a bit too warm for this weather.
    I am, however, convinced that winter will return by April, so ...

    Sapone PS: Valobra Glicerolanolina
    Sapone: Floris, 89
    Pennello: Zenith, Silvertip, 26 mm
    Rasoio: Gillette, Slim Adjustable Aristocrat 1963
    Lametta: Gillette, 7 O’Clock, Super Stainless
    AS 1: MilMil, Figaro Gel
    AS 2: BeMan, Balsamo Polivalente
    EdT: Floris, 89
    ST: Artie Shaw, Beguin the Beguine
  9. Friday morning:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 7
    Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
    Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    After this menthol bombardment I can hardly feel my face - wowwwwwww, was it ever intense. The mentholated pre shave soap from Stirling started the ball rolling - that stuff is pretty much unscented, it cleans the skin very thoroughly, and it’s pretty cooling. It also leaves a terrific slick feeling which helps with the preparation. The Glacial Obsidian soap’s lather went on so rich with its own great slickness, and a menthol blast which could have driven a polar bear out of the Arctic. The Glacial Unscented balm beefed up the freeze and gave me lots of soothing, moisturizing love, while the Snake Bite aftershave made me feel like I was standing outside in -25 Celsius weather. Three glorious passes left me super BBS but it’s time for a blade change!

    Have a great weekend![​IMG]
