    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #41 two-band badger
    3D Schick Type Razor
    Personna Injector PTFE
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 two-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D Schick Type Razor and the Personna Injector PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  4. Menthol Monday:

    Not a Grand Freeze but still pretty cold.

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Astra Green day 13
    Lea Menthol SC
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

    I’m not feeling well at all - this bloody covid seems to be worsening. Two quick passes and back into bed. Still no fever but I’m so weak and tired and I hope it’ll pass soon. The Lea Menthol cream smells really nice, it lathers like a champ, it gives more than enough of a chill to satisfy me, and it’s very skin friendly. The Prep and the Aqua Velva felt so good afterwards. Would I call this a BBS shave? Yes, I believe so.

    Guys, please pray for my recovery. [​IMG]

  9. ASRazor shave, December 19th 2022

    Razor : Ever-Ready Streamline 2nd generation, Mfg 1949-53, excellent upper mid range, one of the best looking ASR razors in IMO with the heavy base plate. It took a while to figure this Jewel out with a RIGS >shim[​IMG]. The razor was designed with blade stops forward as close to the safety bar for aggression and efficentcy. No information on that anywhere so it was pictures and through trial and error that I figured it out. The Streamline shaves are stellar with good technique and knowing what the razor is designed to accomplish IMO. I like to use my Streamline near 6-10 shaves on the blade for excellent results mostly giving my other ASR razors a chance in rotation. Great razor + great shave this morning!
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(9) Very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Gillette Pure Cream- nice sweet clean scent with excellent lather qualities. Make excellent ubber lather also.
    Brush : Yaqi "Black marble" 24mm tuxedo knot, this brush got me on the Yaqi brand years ago. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Nivea refreshing aftershave + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Ever-Ready Streamline 2nd Gen with a coated Gem blade.

  14. Shave of the Week Starting 12/19/2022

    English Tech razor
    GSB blade
    JR#85 brush
    Palmolive Classic SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    Right dandy shave to start the Christmas Week. I enjoy the Palmolive SC, love the scent, which is nice considering Covid wrecked my smeller. Scents are all messed up still after a year with my bout with Covid. Anyway, all is well and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

  15. Hi Friends,

    Here is my 4th Advent shave from yesterday (18.12.2022)

    DCA82A67-0AA9-415D-BDBB-FCDA9B1B3C56.jpeg
    Razor: Rockwell 6S on plate 3 // Blade: Gillette Wilkinson India // Soap: SC Fortitude // Brush: PAV Brushworks // Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

    Man what a fine shave this was. The razor needed 3 passes to get me 100% BBS. Such a smooth an gentle razor, especially with this blade. Highly recommended. The soap has such a cozy and warm scent, it is one of my absolute favorite scents out there.

    The Savinelli Bing´s Favorite needed to be smoked as well and Friends, this pipe SCREAMS Christmas. It was a great shave and the pipe was on par with the shave. Luxury time at it´s best.

    This is it for now friends.

    Take your time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten
