Pitralon A.S. was the first I noticed as a member back in 2015-that is, many members back then were Pitralon users.

 

That would have beeen a great A.S. for me this morning..Stoylin Spice was too warm for me(I'll use it in the winter). I got out the Stoylin Glacial Lime for tomorrow.

 

I'm putting away Stoylin Spice for when it gets much colder....here's the plan for Friday(24th):

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Ultimate Clean)-in shower
shave-Razorock Lime Burst puck
brush-Stoylin li'l brudder
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stoylin Glacial Lime.

 

It’s really good stuff, Paul. Has the scent of cedar wood with a hint of menthol.

Can't seem to upload my picture so I'll post the text and try the edit button.

I had a Vi-John blade sitting on the shelf that I used last weekend that I hadn't binned (not sure why). I got the job done and I smell better than I look but these Vi-John blades just don't perform very well.

Have a great weekend, fellow shavers!

 

New gear, John? Nice.

 

Friday morning:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette day 10
Master Soap Creations Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

Fernando is not only a hell of a nice guy he makes some of the BEST soaps I’ve ever used in my entire life. His Frosted Bay Rum smells beautiful, the tallow formula gives it such great lather with lots of slickness, the menthol sensation is heavenly, and the postshave feeling is perfect. The Prep needs no description - we all know how fabulous it is, and the Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave went on with a bit of a sting but then it felt wonderful and its scent is so old school in a delightful way. What a dynamite shave this was!

Have a good weekend - be well and safe!

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso White Shaving Cream
SlimGem Silvertip Badger
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The Proraso White Shaving Cream lathered well with SlimGem Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene with a Personna GEM SS PTFE 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...

 

I picked up the razor June 2020. I think I had to give $14.50 for it. Seemed like a lot since I think they were $5 or less new but I wanted it.

 

DE SOTD, September 24th 2021

Razor: TARMAX adjustable DE by Tom White, @twhite, Mfg 2021, excellent results, smooth shave even on high settings. Maybe the way blade seats flat and just perfect design gives the stellar shave?
I won this interesting razor on a fund raiser Raffle (1of 4 made, proto type), Lucky Ron won a grail razor possibly. It does have small quirks but that are manageable.
Blade: Gillette Astra SP (3), Sharp & smooth with great longevity. My standard blade for testing other blades and shaving razors.
Soap: Speick shave stick, amazing spicy scent and excellent lather qualities, very nice soap and better than Tabac scent wise IMO.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Moka Express, 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 Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Ach Brito Lavada with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer balm(excellent + scentless).
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with the TARMAX DE adj by Tom with a Astra SP.


Have some great shaves!
