    Hello gentlemen (and ladies too, you never know).

    I shamefully took advantage of my parents' absence today, to sacrilege their crib, without their knowledge.

    Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #41 two-band badger
    3D Schick Type Razor
    Personna Injector PTFE
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS

    The Williams Mug Shaving Soap 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 Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Wednesday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/new Astra Green
    Captain Nemo Sheep SS
    Proraso Blue ASB
    Max Disinfecting AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    This Sheep soap from Captain Nemo is very nicely scented with lavender essential oil, it lathers easily as well as rich, it’s fairly slick, and it leaves a comfortable postshave feeling. The company is owned by a really nice young fellow in Kolkata, India. The Proraso Blue balm is so moisturizing and soothing while the Max Disinfecting aftershave stings like a son of a gun but then it feels great. Two passes were sufficient for a great BBS shave that I enjoyed a lot!

    Wishing you all a super day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Soap : Cyril R Salter Indian Sandalwood cream, nice herbal sandalwood scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush :Yaqi "High Mountain" silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great 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 : Proraso red Sandalwood with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Nivea Men Power Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Palmolive Naturals Olive & Milk Bar Soap.
    Brush: Yaqi Naples 24mm Synthetic.
    Face Lather.
    Lather: Proraso Sensitive Shaving Cream.
    Blade: Sunny Supreme Stainless. (D2)
    Razor: Parker 92R.

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse. / Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. /Dana English Leather ASL. / TRSCO Post Shave Soothing Balm.

    Greetings,

    The Sunny Supreme Stainless performed wonderfully this morning.

    All the SC blades I've revisited so far have all been surprisingly good especially the Gillette 365 & Treet 7 day platinum both blades have been sharp and smooth for me.

    I’m so glad that I've revisited all these blades instead of reaching for my usual suspects. I will continue my SC blade focus and revisit all of them again trying them various other razors in my feature SOTD set ups.

    A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of TRSCO Post Shave Soothing Balm.

    My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. ;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    Hi Friends,

    Here my yesterday´s Shave (21.12.2022)

    7E5A7050-97ED-4E0E-942F-18A017AA77F8.jpeg
    Razor: Feather AS D2 // Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium // Soap: Calani Oriental Plum // Brush: RazoRock 400 // Aftershave: Arko Natural Krem

    Great shave. This razor is so smooth and gentle. You need 3 passes plus minor touch-ups to get completely BBS but hey…it´s our „Hobby“ and we enjoy it like that, do we? In combination with the blade it was a fun shave.

    It is a shame that Cathy from Calani had to give up making soaps and stuff. Her soaps belong to the best out there. Especially this one…man this scent…absolutely fantastic. So warm and comfy. Cushion, glide and skin feel are outstanding. 3 joyful passes.

    The only downer is, that this has been my last shave before Christmas…i wish i could shave every day but my beard grows a little slow…but the more i enjoy each shave.

    Using the high fat cream from Arko was a good decision. It smells very nice and skin likes it a lot.

    This is it for now my friends.

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

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Prep: Hot towel
    Razor: Rockwell 6S – #3
    Blade: Permasharp
    Brush: Simpsons Duke 3 Best
    Soap: HAGS - Dance Macabre ( Donkey Milk )
    Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..

    another great shave with another new soap, this time HAGS in the Donkey Milk base.. an abundant, creamy, well hydrated lather that ticks all the boxes, with a lovely post shave feel. A big fragrance, so check your sensitivity to such things.

    Thursday morning:

    Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Astra Green day 2
    Captain Nemo Retro Barbershop SS
    Aveeno Moisturizer
    Brut Deodorant Spray
    Brut AS Splash
    Brut EdT

    The third of three new soaps which I bought from Captain Nemo in Kolkata, India. This Retro Barbershop has such a beautiful old school scent which reminds me of going to a barbershop in the 1970s or even earlier. The consistency of this soap and the other two is a bit softer than most of my other ones, it gives great lather with excellent postshave care. The Aveeno moisturizer did a terrific job of soothing my skin, and I really love the Brut’s scent. Two passes gave me an absolutely fabulous BBS shave that was so effortless and enjoyable!

    Have a good day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]
