Aaaaand, we come once again to Throwback Thursday-my favorite shave day of the week. Here it is for tomorrow(23):

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(RECHARGE w/Cedar Leaf)in shower
lather-Mama Bear's Soaps "The Club"*
brush-Stoylin mid-sized synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman 12. 5 oz**

*-1830. This is Mama Bear's Clubman dupe. It certainly does smell like Clubman. It's a puck, so I put it in a mug. This was my mistake, as I meant to order the soap in a jar. I'll try the puck. Perhaps this will encourage brush usage.

**-also 1830, but this is the regular A.S.

Thursday morning:

I gave myself a treat by using my number one favourite cream!

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 2
Noxzema Lather SC
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Joy and rapture this morning - it was like being in the Garden of Eden when I smelled the beautiful scent of the Noxzema cream, and the lather was absolutely sumptuous, the menthol sensation felt heavenly, and the postshave feeling was perfect. The Prep has the same scent as the Noxzema cream and it’s so cooling as well as moisturizing with great soothing. Finally the icy cold Floid Vigoroso aftershave with its gorgeous old school European scent and that was that. I did all three passes slowly so I could enjoy this shave to the max and I got ultra BBS!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!

The GZD Berber Stick lathered well with Jayaruh #460 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Baton-handled Treet SE Razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave.
