  2. Sunday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 3
    Stirling Gin & Tonic on the Rocks SS
    Prep ASB
    Booster Iced Lime AS Splash

    It’s been at least two years since I last used the Gin & Tonic on the Rocks soap so I thought I’d give it a bash this morning and I’m so happy I did because it’s such a delightful soap. Like all of Rod’s soaps this one is tallow based, it has a beautiful scent which is a blend of lemon, lime, and juniper berries along with a shot of menthol, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, it feels so cooling and refreshing, not to mention how comfortable the postshave feeling is. The Prep gave me tons of additional soothing care, and the Iced Lime aftershave’s scent is so old school and barbershoppy - just the way I love it - it pairs so nicely with the scent of this soap. My cherished Super Speed, with the help of the Astra Green blade gave me an unbelievably brilliant BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Enjoy your Sunday and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

  7. Nice, Angelo.
    With a den that, imo, is second to none, how do you choose your products? How often do you repeat a product? Where's that picture of your entire shave den? :signs002:

    Razor : Ever-Ready 1914 (AKA=LLC) model with 1st generation blade stops- Mfg 1914-17, mid range. Excellent manufactured razor for that time ERA when stamping parts where the way companies mainly mfg. razors for the mass needs IMO. This razor still functions and looks good many generations later and should still last generations with some care. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest razor blade to handle.
    Soap : Ogallala Bayrum, sage and cedar- interesting Bayrum lather to whip up in a bowl I found, good scent with great lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Orbital ring" 24mm boar bristle hair brush. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice splay scrubber + great 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 : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood (some clove)splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : Dial 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever-Ready 1914 razor with a coated Gem blade.
