Love the Floating Head! A looker, no doubt.
In my book? Perhaps only 2nd to the MonoBilt for non-Gillette vintage coolness...

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together superbly.

The humble Palmolive classic shave cream is a fantastic shave cream and it i has a good residual slickness and protection and post shave feel which IMHO the three things that make a good shaving cream/soap not so much it's density or scent. As always YMMV, opinions are very subjective.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick -ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling cool, smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
Fuzzy Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fuzzy Catcher and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 14
Bielita SC
Nip Man ASB
Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

This Bielita cream is from Belarus and it’s sold not only there but in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Kazakhstan. It’s got a nice flowery kind of scent, it lathers like crazy even from a small dab on both cheeks, there’s a mild but pleasant menthol sensation, and the skincare is excellent. The Nip Man balm from the UK has such a beautiful minty scent, it’s so moisturizing, cooling, and soothing, the Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel is wonderful - very little scent to it but it’s so soothing and gentle on my sensitive skin. Finally the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on icy cold along with its beautiful old school barbershop scent that I love so much. The Wilkinson Sword blade is pretty well kaput but it gave me one last hoorah with a terrific three pass BBS shave!

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