Had a tub in my cart. Came to my senses.

 

Wednesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 7
Biolijf Autumn SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

These Biolijf soaps are from the Netherlands and they’re really, really good - this Autumn soap has a very nice cinnamon/clovey scent, I don’t think it’s tallow based but it lathers great, its so damned slick, and is it ever soothing as well as moisturizing. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer is terrific as a balm, and I absolutely LOVE the beautiful old school scent of the Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave. I was in a bit of a hurry because I got up relatively late so I did just two passes but I still ended up as smooth as silk - another brilliant shave!

See you beautiful people tomorrow - enjoy your day!

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Bethlehem Olive Wood Silvertip
Gillette Sheraton
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Dickenson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The Williams Mug Shaving 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 Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Good Morning Gents!

It's been some time since I last posted. I was in full beard mode and my every now and then trim shaves were not worth posting. Anyway, it's nice to be back and see many familiar members' shaves again.
I noticed when shopping for soaps, creams and aftershave splashes that the prices have certainly gone up. How long has this trend been going on?

DE SOTD, Wednesday, March 27th 2024

Razor : Razorock Lupo.72 2nd generation - Mfg 2021>, mid range. Perfect razor for my razor rotation and checks all the boxes for what I like to use. Excellent machining and finish QC with a nice efficiency range. The scalloped safety bar is a good idea for lather flow. Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : GSB (1) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity. One of my favorites!
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea", nice unique addictive scented soap with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Lucky dice" 26mm brown whiskers synthetic fan knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Large handle and excellent knot makes for great lathering.
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 with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had another stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my RR Lupo.72 with a fresh GSB blade. Must be a weather change because my shaves lately have been awesome and my skin is in good shape also, great shave with one of my favorite razors .


Have some great shaves!

 

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (27.03.2024)


Razor: Everready Streamline // Blade: GEM // Soap: SC Honor // Brush: Omega S-Brush // Aftershave: Floid Blue

Good shave. Not as thoroughly as i thought it would be, but the shave was smooth and gentle. Soap performed fantastic as everytime so the brush could create rich and slick lather.

3 passes and the shave was done. Applied the Floid Blue which i use VERY rarely but when i used it than with pleasure.

This one was a 7 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
