SOS: April 2021

Monday April 26th SOTN




Well my dad surprised me with 2 free bottles of Aqua Velva this afternoon... so of course I had to use one tonight! I guess he doesn’t like the scent???? His loss is my gain. No bother. The Yates Precision M / Pol-Silver / Razorock “No Label” took care of my stubble and the Velva soothed my skin before bed.

Happy Healthy Shaves and Goodnight all.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #403 Synthetic
King Cobra
Feather Professional
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #403 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the King Cobra razor with a Feather Professional blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you Gary

We are yellow! This morning I didn't know whether to go to the disco, the movies, the restaurant or to get coffee and croissant: all this freedom finds me unprepared.
I have to get organized before they close us down again!

I was actually attracted to the idea of shaving at the disco!
But they wouldn't let me...

Given the splendidly gloomy day, the first thing I chose was the music: a melancholy Chet Baker that gradually became more lively, in line with the day that went from dark gray to bright.
Then I chose the soap: a very efficient Dutch one with an elegant bouquet and excellent performance.
Brush and razor were chosen accordingly.
A compact and quite liquid foam favored a sufficiently deep and very pleasant shave.

I can't stand Nivea: it goes back to serial accumulation, but its efficiency is certainly not excellent.
But I eschew waste!

The EdT has nothing to do with the scent of the soap, but... first, the soap has a very delicate scent and, second, after rinsing, no scent remains on the skin: I can use whatever I want!
And, since I'm not married, the choice is entirely mine!





Sapone PS: Sapone di Marsiglia
Sapone: Scheermonnik, Beau Brummel 1778
Pennello: Simpson's, Commodore X3, BB
Rasoio: Merkur, Progress 500
Lametta: Polsilver, Wizamet (Poland, 1976)
AS 1: MilMil, Figaro Gel
AS 2: Beiersdorf , Nivea Sensitive
EdT: Farmacia Vaticana, Acqua di Colonia
ST: Chet Baker, Tokyo, 1996

 

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Schick day 9
Bundubeard Kameelperd’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
B&M Arctique AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Once again I froze my face to the moon and back but with a different setup. Jaco’s Kameelperd soap is a fabulous menthol atom bomb with a beautiful coffee/peppermint scent, his glycerine soaps are among the few which I can say lather great and have the kind of skincare that I need. The Prep and the Arctique aftershave added plenty of soothing along with a MONSTROUS menthol punch. What a lovely BBS shave this was!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be safe and healthy!
