(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...

The Ach Brito Mogno soap produced a slick protective lather in a short space of time leaving a superb post shave feel...Another soap which I need to add to my soap rotation and use more regularly.

Another comfortable 3 pass +pick ups DFS near BBS head/dome shave from the Gillette guard mowing through seven days worth of hair with ease. My rekindled fondness for this one blade cartridge razor grows with each outing. My head feels dolphin smooth with no irritation or cuts.

The Vidyut/Super-max SS paired up with the hefty 94R wonderfully feeling smooth & efficient.

Another enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse

Gold Dollar 280
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gold Dollar 280 Straight 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...

 

Thank you Jeff. We stayed in the same cottage last November....so know what to expect. It should be very nice!

What new fragrances caught your eye to have you sign up?

It had been years before I logged back onto the Fine website and noticed Barber Blue (Floid Blue) fragrance and then soon after he came out with Bay Rum, so I bought both. The Bay Rum does not have clove so you might like it. The soap is a crop base, not the hard puck such as the American Fine I bought years ago.

Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..
Fragrance: Mousse Illuminée by Rogue Perfumery
I'm really enjoying revisiting my older soaps, and Eleven really is one of my top performers. And what else is there to say about Mousse Illuminée. Totally captivating with an ethereal quality that will draw you in like a magnet. Beautiful.
