    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Old Spice Original Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #425
    Schick Repeating Razor C
    Schick Proline
    CWR
    Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

    The Old Spice Original Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #425 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Repeating Razor C with a Schick Proline Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Gillette day 9
    Master Soap Creations Peppermint Lime SS
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
    Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

    This setup is not for anyone who can’t tolerate strong menthol because the Peppermint Lime soap is loaded with it - it’s almost as cold as any of the Stirling Glacials. Its scent is so beautiful, it lathers great, the tallow formula gives it lots of slickness, the menthol sensation is really strong, and the skincare is perfect. The Glacial Lemon Chill balm and aftershave froze me good. Another picture perfect BBS shave which I enjoyed immensely!

    Have a great day - be well and safe!

    Good shave today, in the middle of a trifecta with the Stoylin Glacial Electric SHeep soap and Agua Lavenda de Puig A.S. While all went well up North(including all of Porcupine Alley and the cheeks&sideburn areas), a cut developed on Cactus Nation. Fortunately, the worst of it was cut off by the cool aftershave. The rest of Cactus was fine. 2 passes. About a minute total to load the brush with the Stoylin. (2 sets of 0:45 and 0:15 , respectively). Pretty Excellent.

    The other day I announced that I wouldn't have a "Throwback" shave this week. Turns out that with the week-end being a little cooler than usual, I WILL have one. Details later.

    Razor: Razorock Game changer.84,-Mfg 2018> Excellent tame mid range, 316 stainless, excellent quality control, good results mostly. Like to use the Kai SS blade with this razor.
    Blade: Kai SS (1) Sharp & smooth with excellent longevity, extra wide from a Standard Gillette blade, 9/1000 of a inch or .009" wider, great blade for milder razor that need a little more blade feel or exposure.
    Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood, nice Bayrum scent with some clove + great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Moka express 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood AS [​IMG] + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG]excellent shave with my RR GC.84 + a Kai SS Blade
