SoS: October 2021

Karve Aluninum G Plate Knopf Pommel Handle Razor
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum
Martin De Candre Fougere Soap
Yaqi Sangrada Familiar 2 Band
Aloe Vera
Johnny B. PM Aftershave

 

Wednesday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Minora
Stirling Electric Sheep SS
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Hega AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Today I wanted to focus on some stuff that I haven’t used in a long time so I decided to pull out the regular version of Electric Sheep and I’m so happy that I did because it really is a delightful soap. The scent to me is so beautiful - a blend of lemon, citronella, and eucalyptus, the mutton tallow formula gives it such wonderful, super slick lather, and it leaves the skin with a healthy tingle and feeling so good. The Nivea Cool Kick balm moisturized and soothed my skin so well while the Hega aftershave from Sweden went on very comfortably and it’s got a very neutral scent. The new Minora helped to ensure a perfect BBS shave!

Have a great day - be well and safe!

My apologies for the discrepancy between pic and write up- I didn't end up changing the Astra out of the razor to the GSB as planned. That was a mistake...will rectify for tomorrow.
Have a great day all!

Aaaaaand....we are about to enter into Throwback Thursday. Here is my offering for the special day:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Ultimate Clean)in shower
shave-Central Texas Soaps(Weekend Rodeo)*
brush-Crown King(26 mm)Duro Spindle Tali
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Central Texas Soaps(Weekend Rodeo)*

*American Rodeo first became famous in the late 19th century, in Oklahoma.

 

Razor: Above the Tie aluminum SB90 handle & cap, copper CR1 base plate
Blade: Gillette GSB
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Nocturne

When I learned that ATT parts are interchangeable, AND they currently have "ugly stuff" on sale for a steep discount, I just had to accessorize my beloved SB90. The copper CR plate provided a nice smooth shave. And I LOVE the way it looks. And there is absolutely nothing "ugly" about this plate. In fact, pictured is the purportedly "ugly" side, with some very light scratches that do not even appear in the photo. Tomorrow's shave will be posted in the "open comb" thread
