The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #447 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Derby day 14
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Osage Rub AS Splash
Brut Deodorant Spray
Brut Cologne

My God, am I ever frozen to the max - my face still feels almost numb after this menthol bombardment. Wowwwwwww, my dear brother Abir in Kolkata, India makes such magnificent soaps and aftershaves - his Absolute Zero is a perfect example of his great talent. This soap is vegan based with such a beautiful aquatic/minty scent, it gives GREAT lather with lots of slickness, the menthol sensation is so powerful that it’s scary, and the postshave feeling is awesome. The Absolute Zero aftershave toner has the same great scent, it’s also a menthol atom bomb, and it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing. The Osage Rub aftershave doesn’t lack menthol either and I enjoy its minty/eucalyptus scent very much. Finally a little Brut cologne and I’m good to go. Three passes gave me such a super duper BBS that I enjoyed immensely - tomorrow morning I’m changing the blade.

Wishing you all a great Sunday - be well and safe!

I am almost out of the Castle Forbes "Lavender" cream. I will order more!
