Tuesday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 6
Noxzema Lather SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

Man oh man do I ever LOVE this Noxzema cream - to me it’s the BEST. The scent is so old school and nice, the lather is sumptuous, the menthol sensation is delightful, and the postshave feeling is so soothing - this cream makes my skin feel like it’s born again. The Prep smells exactly like the Noxzema cream and it’s my number one favourite balm - it’s a godsend for sensitive skin. Finally a couple of generous splashes of the Polar Ice aftershave and I smell like I just stepped out of a 50s barbershop - ahhhh this stuff’s scent is so awesome. I did only two passes but I got a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Have a great day and enjoy your shaves!

Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Bethlehem Olive Wood Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Sheraton Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickenson's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

ASRazor shave, Tuesday, March 26th 2024

Razor : Gem Damaskenne open comb, Mfg 1912-15, tame mid range. This is the real Mckoy Gem 1912 because it is open comb and has a stropping attachment in the handle. This little razor is over 112 years old approximately and still performs excellent with a fresh Gem SS PTFE blade. I lucked out when I bought this razor years ago in a razor lot sale on line. These where the first models Gem came out with in OC and then went to the closed comb for many years for a total successful product. Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea", very nice unique scented soap with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorites.
Brush : Yaqi " black marble" 24mm 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. I like the handle and always laugh at the size of bloom that occurred after 1st .... cleaning.
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 : Razorock "The dead Sea" splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem 1912 OC razor with a Gem coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

Well, let me start that with lifelong sinus issues my nose is picking up scents differently and milder than most individuals. The aroma starts with a Pina Colada aroma with the pineapple and Coconut, then I pick up a strawberry and orange scent. There is no strawberry in this so I am guessing it is the Passion Fruit. When lathering up, the Bay Rum kicks in and mellows out the sweetness of the top notes. Strength-wise, I would place this at a 6/10. Typical pre and post-shave performance as expected by Ethos.

I picked up the Bay Rum at the same time and compared the sample that you graciously provided me months ago to the jar of Bay Rum I bought, this current batch is a lot stronger. The sample scent I would place at 2-2.5 and new batch, or at least my jar I would place it at 5 or 6.

 

Thanks.
