    Saturday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    LaToja Shaving Stick
    Jayaruh #340
    Supply SE Injector
    Supply Black Label Blade
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman

    The LaToja Shaving Stick lathered well with Jayaruh #340 badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector Razor with a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    There are a couple of words:

    Hobel
    Rasiermesser

    Hobel is most often used to describe a DE and Rasiermesser generally refers to a straight razor.

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 11
    MSC Frosted Spearmint SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray
    Brut EdT

    My Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole synthetic is such a great brush - not only is it gorgeous looking, it’s such a terrific performer - you should have seen the beautiful lather it whipped up with the Frosted Spearmint soap which IMHO is one of Fernando’s finest. This soap is tallow based, the scent is beautiful, the lather is unbelievably thick, rich, slick, cushiony, and protective, the menthol sensation is so nice, and the skincare is brilliant. The Prep delivered wonderful postshave care, and the Frosted Spearmint aftershave has the same delightful scent as the soap not to mention how frigid it is. I’m really loving this Canadian Tech - it’s mild but it gives me such awesome shaves every time - this morning was no exception - three passes left me smoother than silk. Off to the golf course in an hour or so - wish me good luck!

    Enjoy your weekend - be well and safe!

    You can just buy the head (chrome head I recommend over the Matte one)and use any handle you like on it so not to break the bank. The Feather pro blade works well in this razor.

    Saturday Shave

    Lather: Kell's Original Soap, unscented
    Brush: Ever-Ready
    Razor: Henson AL13 mild
    Blade: Tatra Platinum
    Post: witch hazel and aloe
    Cold water shave :Animatedfrozensmily:


    Kell's soap is sadly no longer available. It is a decent glycerin soap that always agreed with my sensitive skin. I got a good lather easily that rinses cleanly and left my face feeling good.

    This was my first time using a Tatra Platinum blade. I had seen good reviews so I thought it was worth buying a few from tryablade.com. This first shave in the Henson AL13 was smooth and comfortable. The blade was sharp enough, but comfortable. Overall, the experience was very good, similar to the Gillette Nacet that I used for the past several shaves. I'll give it a few more tries and see if I want to buy a batch.

    Sunday morning:

    Salaam aleikum wa Rahmat Allah al barakatu!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 12
    Lord Emofresh SC
    Nip Man ASB
    Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

    Once again I opted for a cream which I haven’t used in a very long time - this Lord Emofresh is from Egypt and not only is it very popular in barbershops over there, it’s so cheap. Yes, the tube is small - only 55 grams but just a small dab on both cheeks is enough to bury your face in such thick, rich lather and my Yaqi treasure whipped up so much lather that there was enough for three men to shave. The scent is very nice - minty with some classy old school notes and there’s a mild but pleasant menthol sensation as well as a very soothing postshave feeling. The Nip Man balm from the UK also has a nice minty scent with lots of cooling and moisturizing to it while the Skin Bracer aftershave is one of my top favourites. Two passes were enough for a really satisfying BBS shave. I’m off to the golf course soon with a couple of friends of mine!

    Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!
