Greetings,
Early morning shave.

The Feather Hi Stainless on it's 3rd outing still felt smooth but slightly less efficient than it did in my previous shave...However, this could have been my razor choice. Anyway, the shave was still acceptable with no blood loss or irritation to my ugly mug.

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.

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Shark day 14
MSC Peppermint Lime SS
Prep ASB
MSC Peppermint Lime AS Splash

Not as frigid a shave as yesterday but close - Fernando’s Peppermint Lime soap and aftershave pack a wonderful menthol punch along with a gorgeous scent that’s much more lime driven than peppermint. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such fantastic lather that’s so thick, rich, as well as mega slick, and protective, there’s plenty of menthol in it, and the skincare is brilliant. The Prep and the Peppermint Lime aftershave completed the job perfectly. This Shark blade is finito - but it gave me one last hoorah with a terrific three pass BBS shave!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!

Tabac Tuesday's Shave

Tom White Week v.3D

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #434
Wabbit 3D
Personna Injector
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #434 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Wabbit 3D Razor with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

It's amazing how the Charles changes in width the closer it gets to Boston.

At its start in Hopkinton, it's little more than a spring.
