Only one change for tomorrow from today'shave:

Brush-Dark Green Mid-sized Boar

 

Nice combination, Gary...must be a new one from Rocky Mtn. Barber Co.

 

yes sir ,nicely scented,cool "see through" soap..

 

First shave with the Gillette Diplomat. It has an A 1 date code. Which I believe makes it a first quarter 1953 sicne i read they were produced from 1953 to 1956. I loaded the Gillette Spoiler I've been using and it was a great shave. The Moon Soaps Amaretto lathered well with this beautifully restored Ever-Ready brush. It has an AP shave co Gelousy SHD knot.

 

absoltely fabulous.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap
Turkish #6 Horse Hair
Gillette President
Gillette Silver Blue
Mennen After Shave

The TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap lathered well with the Turkish #6 Horse Hair Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette President razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you. I'm glad I didn't sell this one. I had it listed for a while. I think it will be sticking around for a long time now.

 

Menthol Monday’s Grand Freeze:

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Bic day 5
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

Holy Toledo, I pity anyone who can’t handle such intense menthol because this Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave are BLOODY COLD. The scent is gorgeous - it’s just about an exact copy of the Virgin Island Water fragrance from Creed, the soap lathers magnificently, it’s got the typical Stirling slickness, and the postshave care is perfect. The Stoffel balm is another menthol atom bomb with such a nice peppermint scent as well as lots of soothing and moisturizing. Finally the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave added another coating of icicles into my face along with its lovely scent that has great staying power. What a delightful three pass BBS shave this was!

Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!
