Friday's Shave


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...

They look very good, have a comfortable diameter to load brush and hold a lot of stuff!

 

Fancy bowl: is it glass?

 

I see a red brush and I want it paint it black...

 

2020-02-21, Friday

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

 

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!
