    Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Rapira day 9
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    This is the setup that I wanted to use yesterday morning but because I was in such a rush to get to an early morning dentist appointment I had to put it off until this morning. Oh my God did it ever feel wonderful - the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap lathered beautifully with my Yaqi Barber Pole synthetic, that scent is so gorgeous, the menthol sensation felt off the charts, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable as well as soothing. The Prep gave me lots of additional cooling, moisturizing and soothing postshave attention, while the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its delightful scent that lasts all day. Three passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe![​IMG]

    Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger
    Enders Speed Razor
    Supply Black Label Blade
    Enders Speed Razor Adapter
    CWR
    Tabac After Shave

    The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Razor and a Supply Black Label Blade in an Enders Speed Razor Adapter gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Continuing with my “one razor, one soap” for the month of May:
    • Preshave was PAA Cube
    • Brush was Yaqi Sagrada Familia
    • Used my bowl
    • Postshave was Strike Gold Category 4.1 aftershave splash.
    I decided to not try and chase BBS on my neck today and it feels good. Also did a cold water shave.

    The Sagrada Familia brush is wonderful - fits my hand nicely, soft, but dense and firm.
