SOS: October 2020

Shave of the Week Starting 10/12/2020

Weber DLC razor
Treet Dura Sharp blade
Maggard Purple Swirl synthetic brush
CRSW "Schapenmelk" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Face Nice Bay Rum A/S

Well, this is gonna be a great week for shaving. I was looking through my stash o'stuff and found a couple of Dura Sharp blades and remember that I had tried them some time ago and liked them. Gotta say that I really like them again, Smooth, comfortable and very effective and my face likes them a lot. The CRSW "Schapenmelk" is a really dandy SS that works. The Face Nice bay rum is the only bay rum that I like. Made by Kae Culonberry in Florida and is good stuff too. So, all is well and my face is very very happy. Now go enjoy your day f0lks.

 

Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 2
Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS
Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB
B&M Arctique AS Splash

What a Grand Freeze this was - the Glacial Spearmint soap, the matching balm, and the Arctique aftershave did a helluva number on me and I’m proud to say that I got a brilliant three pass BBS shave!

Happy Thanksgiving Day, Canada!

Be well and safe - and have a great week!

All my other razors are packed for this week's cross country move, so it's all Shake Sharp. Twin Derby Extra blades on their second shave performed way better than expected. Beautiful shave. Will flip the blades tomorrow.

Good luck with your move, Jeff. BTW, that blade looks a bit askew!

 

Quite right! Good thing I didn't shave that way .
