Barbasol AS

The Vintage Life Morning TOST Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor and a Vintage Pal Hollow Ground Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

DE SOTD, Thursday, June 22nd 2023

Razor : Razorock Wunderbar 316 SS slant with a modified Gem MMOC handle- Mfg 2017-2022, mid range to upper mid range, I find the RR Wunderbar slant likes steep angle approach(riding the bar) because of it's curved head design. Light touch with a short handle with a Personna red blade combination usually gives stellar results. Had a close shave with no issues this morning.
Blade : Personna red(3) sharp & smooth with great longevity. Top tier blade of my 6 to tier.
Soap : Proraso green Eucalyptus, sharp Eucalyptus mentholated scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Tail coats" 24mm G4 Synthetic, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great splay scrubber(similar to my 2band badgers) + excellent 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 green with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent stellar shave with my RR Wunderbar slant with a Personna red blade.


Have some great shaves!

Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

My dear brother Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa makes a lot of awesome soaps and this X 3 version of his Cool as a Cucumber was a very limited edition that he made for the Master Shave forum in South Africa. This is one soap that I would love to have all year because I think it’s fabulous. It’s glycerine based and because it’s green coloured it looks exactly like both the Colonel Conk Lime and the Yeti Snot soaps, the scent is really nice - along with the cucumber you get a lot of peppermint, there’s a POWERFUL menthol sensation that rivals any of the Stirling Glacials, it lathers beautifully with lots of slickness, and the skincare is excellent. The Prep delivered so generously on the extra postshave care, and the Snake Bite aftershave froze me to smithereens. Finally the gorgeous fragrance of the Bleu de Chanel and I’m ready for a couple of rounds of golf with some friends of mine. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Enjoy your weekend - be well and stay safe!
