    Prep: Hot towel
    Razor: Weber ARC
    Blade: Wizamet Iridium Super
    Brush: Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade
    Soap: Bartigan & Stark: Campione
    Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..
    Fragrance: Atman Xaman Eau de Parfum by Lorenzo Villoresi.

    WOW.. I honestly wasn't expecting that. An absolutely stunning shave with another 'new to me' artisan soap. I understand these are produced in small batches, so if you get the opportunity to try one, I suggest you take it... and the Weber surprised me, yet again, by bringing out the best in the Wizzie.. yeah, an absolutely stunning shave.

    Menthol Monday!

    Today’s Grand Freeze is brought to you by:

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Rapira day 13
    MSC Frosted Lavender SS
    Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
    Prep ASB
    MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash

    OMG, if this shave was any colder my face would’ve fallen off - the menthol power from this Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave is totally insane. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such fantastic lather that’s so thick, rich, MEGA SLICK and protective, as soon as the brush makes contact with your face the menthol sensation jumps on you, and the skincare is so awesome just like all of Fernando’s products. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel hardly has any scent but it’s so soothing and comfortable for sensitive skin like mine, the Prep is a godsend for it also, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is also witch hazel based, it has the same delightful scent as the soap, and it’s absolutely FRIGID. This thirteen day old Rapira blade helped me get another brilliant three pass BBS shave but it’s getting tired.

    Wishing y’all a good week - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Shave of the Week Starting 3/13/2023

    Pearl Blaze razor
    Euromax blade
    Lea Shave Stick
    LaToja Shave Stick
    Plisson/L'Occitane brush
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Various A/S

    Giving myself choices this week by alternating Shave Sticks. Started with the LaToja and it worked well. Easily lathered and gave nice face feel when the shave completed. I know the Lea better having used it more often and it works above its price point for me. Looking forward to a week of great shaves. If it doesn't work, I'll let you know. But for now, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Osage Rub

    The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Army Kit and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor : Gem MicroMatic OC, Mfg 1930-41, mid to upper mid range depending on blade # of uses + personal technique, well built and excellent design for securing the blade and will last many more generations IMO with some care. Excellent shave today!
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(9) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice vanilla & light tobacco scent added + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush :Yaqi "Panda" 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. I got this on sale 2 years ago and like to use it once in a while because of the detail.
    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 : Razorock Santa Mari del Fiore with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave this morning with my MMOC with a coated Gem blade.
