(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the first weekend of March.

A close comfortable head/dome shave with the Parker InjRzr, a razor I haven't used in quite some time...I look forward to getting reacquainted to using an injector razor for my head/dome shaves through out the month.

Out of all my open comb razors the parker 24C is my favourite to use, it's weight & efficiency are wonderful. like all parker DE razors once you adjust to using a steeper angle with them your rewarded with close comfortable shaves. My face & head shave this morning made me realise how much I like both of these razors and should add them to my razor rotation more frequently, especially the Parker InjRzr.

A close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
Tourqued Slant Razor
Gillette Nacet Stainless
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Tourqued Slant Razor and the Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Saturday morning:

My first shave for March, 2025!

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 11
Mystic SC (from Bulgaria)
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash
Givenchy Gentleman EdT

Here’s something I haven’t used in ages - the Mystic cream is Bulgarian made, it has a pleasant scent, it’s so easy to lather, it has good slickness, but although it lists menthol as one of the ingredients I don’t feel any cooling from it. The postshave feeling is very comfortable, however. The Gold Bond moisturizer is very mentholated and it’s so soothing, and the Alt Innsbruck aftershave went on icy cold along with its delightful old school European scent that I love so much, and finally the Givenchy Gentleman fragrance and I’m good to go. Another great three pass BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

See you all tomorrow - be well and stay safe!

Nope, not a bay rum.

I purchased two of these Drunken Goats back in late 2014, as it used Guinness Extra Stout in it's formulation and Guinness Extra Stout is my beer of choice. If I remember correctly, it was advertised as a stout infused chocolate oatmeal cookie and I would have to agree with that description. One of my all time favorite shave soaps. Sadly, down to half a tub left.
