Y'know,, Swiss Arabian has a new cologne I will be looking into soon...Swiss Musk. I'm seeing ads for it all over my computer.

 

Kitcchen Sink should get me a babe. Seriously, this looks quite impressive. What does he mean by "absolute"(as in the hay and oakmoss)?

I used the PAA Kirimati just earlier this week. It is one that I only pull out around the holidays, but wifey said I should use it more often (done & done!). She really likes, noticed straight after application. It is a well done combination, imo. 2 bay leaves in the bottle btw.

SOTD CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING, DECEMBER 24, 2021

Busy day today, but the morning shave checked all the boxes. The Ellis &Allan “Edgar Allan Poe” 8/8 stubtail took care of my mug stubble, although I will admit wielding this behemoth takes care. Three and a half passes were necessary to clean up the mug for church tonight. The Eclipse Red Ring did its usual two pass ATG noggin sweep, and all was right with the world. I’m clean and velveteen from noggin to shoulders. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! May the love and peace of Christ warm your hearts and see you through to the next year! God bless you all!

RAZOR: Ellis & Allan “Edgar Allan Poe” Stubtail 8/8 (Mug), Eclipse Red Ring (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 with 26mm Boar Ferrule
CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.

 

Christmas Eve's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Jayaruh #395
1957 Gillette Rocket
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Florida Water Cologne

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #395 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1957 Gillette Rocket Razor with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
