Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A comfortable Turkish themed shave to finish my shaving week off on a high note.

My continuing Treet blade focus has been wonderful. It's made me realise how good Subcontinent DE blades can be.

Both of the Parker 92R & Lord L125 have performed superbly throughout the week, especially the L125 providing me with close comfortable shaves.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Arko Fresh ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Day and night. Polar Ice is illogically named because it doesn’t seem to have any menthol sensation. On the other hand Osage Rub is a menthol atom bomb. Scent wise Polar Ice to me smells so beautiful - a real old school barbershop type whereas Osage Rub smells like a mixture of eucalyptus and peppermint in a nice way.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
Semogue SOC Boar
Yaqi SHADE
Pro 500 Super Platinum Half Blade
CWR
Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS

The Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with Semogue SOC Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Yaqi SHADE Razor and a Pro 500 Super Platinum Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharaoh's Dreamsicle After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Happy Pi Day...
