Great shave Guy! I’m curious about the Neumann Absolute Zero because the Absolute Zero from Captain Nemo is to me, so bloody cold that it passes any of the Stirling Glacials and the Chiseled Face Cryogen. I’m dead serious - this stuff is LETHAL! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Menthol Monday: It’s Grand Freeze time again! L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 5 Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB Osage Rub AS Splash Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick Bleu de Chanel Parfum Did I ever enjoy the Glacial MITA this morning - this soap has exactly the same lovely citrusy/tropical scent as the regular version with the same great, slick lather but the menthol sensation is much more intense, and the postshave feeling is so awesome. The Stoffel balm provides such wonderful soothing as well as moisturizing along with tons of menthol goodness, and the Rubby Dubby Doo is another menthol atom bomb. Finally the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready to enjoy another day of retirement - hey, it’s Victoria Day here in Canada! Three passes resulted in a picture perfect BBS shave that was such a frozen delight! See you all tomorrow - have a good week ahead! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

GEMonday, May 20th 2024 Razor : Gem Junior bar lather catcher with stropping attachment inside handle. Mfg 1907-11, mild to tame mid range. A very nice Gem lather catcher that most folks could use with not much issues IMO. They are built well and where used a lot by folks who loved the way they shaved are my thoughts for that time period. Make sure blade stops are in good shape if you come across one in the wild. This little razor has brought a lot of decent shaving and caught my interests early in my wonderings into traditional wet shaving. One of my better buys IMO. Had a close comfortable shave this morning to start the day off. Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (2) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle. Soap : Razorock XXX, very enjoyable unique scented soap that has excellent lather properties. Brush : Yaqi "Ferrari" 24mm boar bristle knot. Excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle hairs, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Scuttle: My wife picked this up at a estate sale and it is interesting shaving oddity when looking and using it but it is not for my preferences to use in my shaving routine. This is what they used back well over 100 years ago and soap bars where smaller and they would soak the (Boar) brush in the bottom part and dip tips for needed water for thinner lather wants in this little scuttle and operator would brush load the from the top are also my thoughts. I think the person who designed it must of had a full grown beard and did not think what a person shaving needs where. Back then in those times brush knots where smaller and water was usually drawn from the well, are my thinking and water warmed up on the cooking stove kettle and poured in side the vessel. Hot water tanks where not available and only the rich might have some way of hot water availably with maids or butlers serving them?? So I had to give it a try and see how practical these scuttles where back around the 1800's- 1900's. Todays scuttles are larger and more practical because we have running hot water plumped in to most homes. Any ways just sharing some thoughts from the past shaving products. 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 XXX with with hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless). Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem Junior bar razor with a coated Gem bar. Have some great shaves!
