Aftershave: Pinaud Citrus Musk “Eau De Cologne” Aftershave
Additional Care: Norelco G270 (trim goatee)

I missed Barbasol Sensitive - good to have it back. I’ve been needing more consistent lather lately so Barbasol provides the cushion needed. Work it with water with my Simpson into my face, then add a layer, then Aces!

L.A. Shaving MYRKVIOR Soap

Pitralon Aftershave

This razor feels very aggressive, and it's not a smooth shave.
I ended up with an adequate shave after three passes. No nicks or weepers, but I was figuratively on tiptoes through it all.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Turkish #6 Horse Hair
Gillette President
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave 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 Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The Turkish #6 Horse Hair brush was acquired back in 2014 from Bestshave.net. It was good source of cheap but good shave gear. They went out of business a few years later. https://jrshaving.blogspot.com/2014/09/turkish-6.html There was some debate at the time as to whether the horse was really horse.

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Cella Red
Brush: Ever-Ready rebuild
Razor: Rockwell 6C
Blade: Personna Med Prep (2)
Post shave: Gillette Gel

 

Tuesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Bic day 6
Noxzema Lather SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

The Noxzema cream is my absolute favourite shaving product - for so many years it was the only one I used. Luckily for me I was able to score a whole bunch of them and I want them to last as long as possible because it’s no longer available. I love its scent, it lathers beautifully, the menthol sensation is so nice, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Prep has the same scent and it gives such wonderful skincare. Finally the Polar Ice aftershave went on with its old school barbershop scent that I love so much. Three passes did the job for me - another perfect BBS shave that was so much pleasure!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!
