SoS: September 2021

I still need to get around to trying out my Vi-John blades but I keep reaching over them for a different blade. You're sure not making me any more eager to get around to using them. I figure I should give them a shot sometime this week anyway.

Cold Water Rinse

Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE

Osage Rub

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger. 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 Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday:

A true Grand Freeze!

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette day 13
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

This Gillette blade is still alive and kicking - day 13 and it helped me get a fantastic three pass BBS shave. The Glacial Lemon soap, balm, and aftershave had me shivering the whole time but it felt great!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Gillette HD 500 (England) Razor
Jewel Super Stainless Platinum Blade
Frank Shaving Extra Density Two Band Badger Brush
Proraso/Love My Skin Spearmint Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel w/Egyptian Musk
Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave

Last week I received some blades from @Jrdelgado made by the Jewel Razor Co. of Sheffield England. They are platinum stainless blades and I waited five days to try one. All I can say is "wonderful". Mowing down my beard was effortless and I got a great BBS shave.
