    Wednesday morning:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 8
    Viking Sensitive SC
    Nivea Sensitive ASB
    Razorock Don Donato AS Splash

    This Viking Sensitive cream is the version from Russia which was so generously given to me along with MANY other great Russian creams and aftershaves by a very dear friend of mine from there many years ago when I took my wife with me on a business trip to Russia and we were invited to stay at his and his wife’s house. To this day we’re still in contact and we talk at least three times a week - would you believe that? This cream is originally from Bulgaria but Russia started producing it and in my honest opinion it’s just as good as the Bulgarian version - the scent is pleasant, the lather works up easily, it becomes really thick, rich, slick, and protective, there’s a mild menthol sensation, and it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing. The Nivea Sensitive balm to me, doesn’t smell so nice but it performs very well, and the Don Donato aftershave smells great - not only that, it gives a pretty good menthol kick. Two passes gave me a terrific BBS shave!

    Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

    DaltonGang Ol' Itchy Whiskers

    Newly acquired, somewhat restored, and freshly honed. This little Swede delivered a very smooth 2 pass shave, that was BDBS. Nice razor, without issues. It is a near wedge, so, it is a little stiff.

    Razor- CVH B.K.41. Eskilstuna Seden
    Brush- @oscar11 Special
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy.
