thank you sir.

 

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!

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.

 

Hi Friends,

Here my yesterday´s Shave (21.12.2022)


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

 

22 December, 2022
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!
