  2. It’s a bona fide face freezer - the menthol hits you right away when you’re lathering up and each pass makes it feel stronger. The aftershave is a delight, it colder than hell, and I would say the scent lasts for a good part of the day.

  9. Shave of the Week Starting 8 July 2024

    Razor.......Baili BD176
    Blade........???
    Brush.......Plisson/L'Occitane synthetic
    Soap.........CCSW Irish Tweed
    Balm.........Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    A/S...........Various

    For some reason the need for a Baile razor has been bugging me for a while so I went ahead and got the BD176. Don't ask me why I have felt the need to get this one, don't know. Anyway, it's a pretty thing and shaves just fine. Now as for the blade, I thought they were some older Personna but it sure didn't shave like one. So it's a mystery but think I'll change to a Silver Star. The Cresent City Shave Works SS is nice, easy to lather and has pleasant scent. So I'll give today's shave a 7 and plan to do better tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks.

  10. ASRazor shave, Monday July 8th 2024

    Razor : Star bar #4 lather catcher. Mfg 1919-1920, tame mid range. This is almost Star's last of the lather catchers that was made by Star company ( Kampfe brothers of Brooklyn NY). Star was the first mass produced safety razor in the world in the 1880's. This little razor is still my go to island stranded grail razor, when I slip in a new blade and have my shave it just performs so very well for those close comfortable stellar shaves. I have over 60 razors and it just up there with the top two, 95% of the time.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : TOBS herbal sandalwood cream, this scent is addictive and just performs so well + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi " Orbital ring" 24mm boar bristle hair. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
    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 : Proraso red sandalwood with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : [​IMG] or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Star bar lather catcher(100 + years old) with a coated gem blade. (It does not get any better a shave like this morning.)
