I went 2 days without shaving. Today I tried cool water shave with menthol Proraso and Blue pre-shave cream. Pleasant shave for a summer morning. I need to wash the bike and head to Southern Tier Harley to pick up a couple things. I need a couple crush gaskets for the exhaust connection to the crossover pipe. Also an air filter.

Hawk v3
Feather Professional blade 5th shave
Proraso Menthol shave soap
Proraso Blue pre-shave
Simpson Commodore brush
Thayers toner & Geo F Trumper balm
Pinaud Clubman AS

Cool water for a summer morning shave. Cool shower. I had to add more water to the lather bowl to get the lather and went a little overboard with the water. I didn't bloom the soap or pre-heat bowl. I wet the brush with cool water and started swirling in the soap tub. It was hydrated well for sure! Pleasant shave WTG, ATG, and cleanup on jawline. Nice and smooth face to start the day.

I hope all have a great morning!

The Pharoah's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Razor with a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharoah's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Have a great day!​

Saturday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 11
Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

This Frozen Tundra is Rod’s second coldest soap after the Glacials - and I love it so much. What a beautiful scent it has - peppermint, wintergreen, and earthy notes come together to make it so refreshing, the lather is so thick, dense, slick and protective thanks to the tallow formula, the menthol sensation hits hard, and like all of Rod’s soaps it gives wonderful postshave care. The Prep is like a magical cream because it’s so soothing, moisturizing, and cooling - not only that, the scent reminds me so much of Noxzema cream which is a godsend for sensitive skin. The Alt Innsbruck aftershave has such a beautiful old school barbershop scent that I love as well as a serious menthol punch. Three glorious passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave!

Have a wonderful weekend - be well and safe!

The shave's that I've had throughout the month from the injectors & SE razors vintage new & old have all been close comfortable,& enjoyable. No exaggeration!....I repeat myself and say if i had the choose a vintage SE razor as a daily shaver then the Schick G type injector would be it!

Hiya, Chris! Yep! I ride there on Saturdays for the free burgers and soda. This Saturday was a pain in the butt to get there tho....NY state has some of the best engineers. They have that new bridge they building over I81 (Front Street) that they been milking now for almost a year (it's so hard). They are so smart, they tore down the old bridge before the new one was ready. SMART people! Traffic was maddening! And there I was in it on a bike! Front Street was closed on a Saturday due to no bridge over the freeway. Yep. Smart engineers. I sometimes think they like to torture us! I lived in Minnesota for 25 years and the hiway crew work ethic there puts NY to shame! Speedie fest will be fun this year! NOT!
