The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with The Brush B-3 Badger by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Red and Black OT Razor by T. White with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thanks my friend!

Yes, this cream is terrific!

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Shark day 8
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Witch Hazel

Do I ever love this Glacial Wintergreen trio - the scent filled my bathroom while I was lathering up and shaving. The soap lathers beautifully, there’s so much slickness, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The matching balm and witch hazel have that same lovely scent and icy cold feeling. Three passes left me smoother than silk!

Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

I like the 301 better than the 300.I agree it's a smooth one. I have one or two blades of the Prime. I haven't used one in a few years but I remember they're very good for me too.

And....another Throwback Thursday stares down at us. Here's my plan for tomorrow:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Advanced Hydration)
shave-Stoylin Spice*
brush-Crown King Spindle Duro Tali
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stoylin Spice*

*-This is Doc Ezlovan's answer to the classic Old Spice, introduced in 1938. While I haven't yet tried P&G's New Spice offerings(they should have called it New, in my mind), I can't compare it to the New Spice, but it does remind me of Shulton's 1938 winner.

 

Looks more chocolatey to me, but perhaps the Sandalwood has something to say in the persuasion.

 

I love that handle.....so pretty!

Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

An acceptable comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off.

My first few outings with the Feather Hi Stainless was a very uncomfortable shaving experience to say the least which made me shy away from them.....However, this was down to my lack of shaving experience technique, and shaving confidence which had nothing to do with the blade itself.

My reacquaintance with them throughout the week has been a mixture of good & bad.....A valid lesson that i have learned is you can't pass a true judgement on any shaving soft/hardware on just a few outings...After using the Feather Hi Stainless throughout the week my opinion on them is still pretty much undecided However, i will carry on with another week focus with my next weeks shaves to further my experience & final opinion with them.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
