Greetings,

Early morning shave.

An enjoyable smooth shave to finish my shaving week wonderfully.

My mini focus using the Gillette shave foam (red) has been surprisingly good. Using the synthetic brush with the addition of the water vastly improves it's slickness & performance. I will continue to try out the Gillette sensitive shave foam (green) in my next weeks shaves.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Licorice Shaving Soap
Semogue 1305 Boar
Gillette No Notch Super Speed
PolSilver
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Vintage Life Licorice Shaving Soap lathered well with Semogue 1305 Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette No Notch Super Speed and PolSilver Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Astra Green day 4
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
Aramis EdT

We’re expecting a very warm day so I opted for a good Grand Freeze - the Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave are both killer cold. IMHO this stuff has the most gorgeous lavender scent I’ve ever experienced, the soap buried my face in such fantastic lather, the menthol sensation felt like liquid nitrogen on my face just like a Stirling Glacial soap, and it left such a comfortable, relaxed postshave feeling. The Prep delivered so generously on the additional care, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave froze the smithereens out of me. Finally a little Aramis and I’m good to go. What an awesome three pass BBS shave this was!

Many thanks to you Fernando for introducing me to your beautiful products!

See y’all tomorrow - enjoy your day and your shaves!
