Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/new Wilkinson Sword
MSC Peppermint Lime SS
Prep ASB
MSC Peppermint Lime AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

My Lord this was a tremendous Grand Freeze even if I say so myself. My dear brother Fernando’s Peppermint Lime soap and aftershave did a helluva number on me. The scent is lovely - the lime is more dominant but you can still catch some peppermint, the soap’s tallow formula gives it such MAGNIFICENT lather with plenty of slickness, the menthol sensation is POWERFUL, and it’s chock full of great skincare. The Prep felt so soothing as well as moisturizing when I massaged it on, and the Peppermint Lime aftershave gave me a boatload of additional menthol freeze along with its delightful scent that pairs perfectly with the Eau Sauvage fragrance. The new Wilkinson Sword blade helped to ensure a perfect three BBS shave that was so much fun!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger
Frankenskeene
Ever-Ready Radio Steel
CWR
Vintage English Leather AS

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Frankenskeene Razor and the Ever-Ready Radio Steel blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Vintage English Leather After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Shave#71

71 shaves from this Chinese blade. I was going to toss it, but it gave such a nice shave, I decided to keep the test going. I keep the 2 pass shave going, with good prep work. I think a key to this lasting long is I don't wipe the blade edge down or clean it. Just a hot water rinse and blow the water off the edge.

Razor- Gillette Fatboy E-1. Replated by Razor Emporium in 2014 or so. Still holding up.
Brush- @oscar11 Special. Synthetic knot.
Blade- RZR Iguetta. China
Soap- ARKO, of course.
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Totem decanter.

This is a pic of the dirty underside of the blade. The top is cleaner, because the water rinses it better inside the razor.
