SoS: December 2020

Well... my X2 sourced from a trade.

Sometimes it seems you're not paying attention...

 

Blue and chrome...

 

Great shot, Gus!
Is that your... garden?

This morning, while I was in the shower, I could look at the barn immersed in the fog: splendid!

The Soek is a bit too 'Christmas', but fine for the day.
More than a real growth I had sandpaper and the 89/SOC did a great job.

Now I am going to enjoy the fog!

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream
B-400 Badger by @twhite
AutoStrop A1
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne

The Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream face-lathered well with B-400 Badger by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you Gary.

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/ Minora day 5
Vintage Irisch Moos Shaving Stick
Fino ASB
Vintage Sir Canada Cedar AS Splash

What a shame and what a loss to the wetshaving world when this Irisch Moos stick was discontinued because honestly speaking it’s one of the best soaps I ever used in my entire life. The scent is very fresh, manly, as well as old school, the lather works up rich, thick, slick, and protective with very good skincare. My good friend Dave sent me the Fino balm which is so soothing, and the Canada Cedar aftershave is also vintage - it has a beautiful scent and it feels so comfortable on my face. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave!

Be well and safe!

There must be soaps from other companies that are clones of Irish Moos, I'd imagine.

 

A wonderful shave today - very mild and efficient razor is the G8 type. I am so glad I’ve found the most comfortable shave with my favorite Schick head design! The NOS blade is very smooth and sharp and adds to the easy quality. Aces!

A lightly resinous and semi sweet woods scent that is very masculine with a light musk & floral note in the background that becomes more prominent in the drydown paired with a sandalwood type note. That's from the cologne/splash aftershave. The soap is a bit more subdued but, still very present while building & applying the excellent lather in the CK-6 base......

 

I figured out my new years resolution and 30DC challenge. I never did take a twin blade as far as it can go so for Jan. I'll use the same razor with one I have 16 shaves on and see how far it goes. See you next year.

 

Oh wow,,,I see PAA is joining the Oud persuasion team.

 

You humble me, signore.
