Midweek on Wednesday:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Shark day 5
Bundubeard Kameelperd’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash

Another Grand Freeze with a beautiful coffee/peppermint scent as well as so much thick, delightful lather - this Kameelperd soap is a South African treasure. I would say that the Prep has become my favorite balm - its cooling, moisturizing, and soothing are hard to beat and I love the scent. The Krampert’s Frostbite smells great and it gives a hell of a menthol wallop. Three passes cleaned me up perfectly - what a shave!

Great shave buddy - you should teach me how to get a good lather with the Williams because I could never even get to first base with it! lol

Have some great shaves!

 

Reached for the Merkur 37C today to get rid of the scruff. An efficient little beasty it is. Loaded up with a Kai SS.

I believe I will be headed on a run of CBL soaps and carrying on from Black Rose Oud today’s choice Norse Spice. Light off the tub is the scent to me anyway but a typically excellent performing soap from Chris.

Simple two pass DFS achieved. Call your family and check in on your neighbours. Enjoy your shaves.

I saw this set on sale and I thought I'd try it. I'm glad I did. The performance is the standard BM excellence. The scent is fig and floral, I'm not sure what, but it's classy and timeless. The subtle sweetness enhanced the fig note and ties it all together.

Here's my call for Throwback Thursday:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Max.Moisture)in shower
shave-Clubman Shave Cream(can)*
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Original(6 oz). *

*talkin 1830. I now return to what I said a few months ago. The Clubman items should say 1830, as that is the year Edouard Pinaud commenced with his perfume production. The items now say 1810-which is the year he was BORN. Can't do much from a crib, I say. But still....it's a classic "throwback" shave choice.

 

fine clubman shave Paul..

 

Thanks Gary. I probably first used this combination back as a teen-ager. That by ITSELF is a throwback .
