Friday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Shark day 3
Proraso Green SS
Prep ASB
Proraso Green AS Splash
Brut EdT

After a long period of time when I wouldn’t touch Proraso Green it’s back in my rotation again because my barber who’s a straight razor master gave me a brand new tub as well as a tube of it and assured me that it’s much better - he most certainly is right about that. The scent is pretty much still the same - a nice eucalyptus/menthol type, the lather is definitely thicker, richer, and slicker, the cooling effect is still there, and the skincare is excellent now. There’s nothing like a good facial massage with the Prep afterwards, and the Proraso Green aftershave went on nice and chilly. My first time using the Brut eau de toilette and it smells great. (The wife don’t think so!) Three passes resulted in a magnificent BBS shave!

Have a good weekend - be well and safe!

Hi Friends,

Here is my Wednesday shave (belated as ever)…


Razor: Tatara Masamune // Blade: Personna Med Prep // Soap: Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica // Brush: Nightdiver´s Manufactory // Aftershave: Ach.Brito Lavanda

Great shave. I love this soap so very much…this scent, this lather, this facefeel…whoa…this will be FOREVER in my den as long as SV will produce it. The razor is so gentle and thoroughly. Pure joy to use. Especially with this blade. A fantastic match.

The brush is a 24mm Plisson-type Synthetic from Maggard´s which i glued in the handle. Almost no backbone (which i love), soft tips and makes lather like a champ. To smell good, i have used the Lavanda AS from Ach.Brito. Man, what a good stuff this is. Smells heavenly and the skincare is top notch too. Goes very nice with the soap.

This is it for now Friends.

Enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap
SlimGem 3D Printed Synthetic
Schick I
Personna Injector
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap lathered well with the SlimGem 3D Printed Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick I with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
