Saturday’s Shave


Stando Single Edge “Rod” / Schick Proline
NOS Peerless 20mm Natural Boar Bristle Shaving Brush
Fine Platinum Triple Milled Tallow Shave Soap & Aftershave Splash​

I hadn't touched this razor in a while. Excellent shave, even if the soap was mediocre. I had a smooth 2 pass shave, with BBS results. Zero issues for the razor. The soap wants to dry out fast, and a rather thin lather. But, slick when overly wet. What can you expect, for $1.25.

Razor- Wade & Butcher "Special"
Brush- Rubberset 400. #4
Soap- B-Pure. Made in China.
Aftershave- Florida Water.

(Face & Head Shave.)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Its been a while since i last used the Parker 55SL Semi-Slant of which i will be using with all my SOTD's for this week to re-acquaint myself to it.

The Chinese made Mers SuperShave X i haven't used in some time, another blade that isn't the most aggressive, but very smooth for me and pairs together perfectly with the Parker 55SL Semi-Slant making a smooth efficient duo.
The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe shaving cream never fails to provided me with a smooth protective slick lather in no time leaving a superb post shave feel.

A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

I have to get those Stirling products. Nice shave Gary.

Saturday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Morning TOST
Tom's Brush B-3 Badger
Tourqued Slant Razor by Tom
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS

The Vintage Life Morning TOST Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Tourqued Slant Razor by Tom with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thanks Gary!

I also love it - the scent is so old school and nice!

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 4
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
Stirling Baker Street EdT

These Wilkinson Sword blades are excellent - they’re so sharp, smooth, and forgiving, at least with my Super Speed. I enjoyed Fernando’s Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave so much - they have the most beautiful lavender scent I ever experienced. The soap is tallow based like all of Fernando’s soaps, the lather is unbelievably thick, rich, mega slick and protective, the menthol sensation is so intense that it competes with any of the Stirling Glacials, and the skincare is perfect. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel has almost no scent but it’s so soothing, the Prep provided wonderful moisturizing with plenty of additional soothing as well as a nice cooling sensation, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is also witch hazel based so there’s it won’t burn or sting, and it’s so loaded with menthol that it can freeze you to smithereens. Finally a couple of spritzes of Rod’s lovely Baker Street eau de toilette and I’m good to go. A three pass BBS work of art and soon I’ll be heading to the golf course with a couple of friends of mine!

Enjoy your day - be well and safe!
