  6. Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 10
    MSC Frosted Lavender SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
    Aramis EdT

    My dear brother Fernando in Johannesburg, South Africa is such a genius when it comes to wetshaving products - his soaps and aftershaves are now world famous. This Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave have the most GORGEOUS lavender scent I’ve ever experienced - the soap is tallow based like all his other soaps, the lather whips up beautifully and with tons of slickness, the menthol sensation it gives is so frigid that it’s easily a match for any of the Stirling Glacials, and it’s loaded with great skincare. The Prep works so well as a balm because it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is witch hazel based so it never stings or burns, it has the same wonderful scent as the soap, and the freeze is insane. Three passes did me proud with a dynamite BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

    Have a great day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    William Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

    Williams Mug Shaving Soap

    Granddad's Blend After Shave

    The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #434 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the English Ever-Ready Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  9. Hi Friends,

    Here my Wednesday Shave (05.07.2023)

    081670D5-7116-4461-8678-774325967E13.jpeg
    Razor: Mühle Rocca Jet // Blade: Permasharp Super (3) // Soap: Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaans (sample) // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Nivea Beard & Skin Balm

    Today was the premiere of my Bundubeard shave soap. Heared and read a few good things about it but reviews are rare. The soap itself is on the hard side. Lathered up very well and the lather was very cushiony and thick. Not as „yoghurt“-like as i am linking it but that was my fault because this water needs water…much water…the shave itself went well but the blade in it´s third use seemed to be on it´s limit. So it will be dumped. On to a new one.

    All in all a more than good shave and a 9 out of 10.

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten
