SOS: April 2025

Does it still say "1920's Barbershop"(or whatever it is)?

 

"very illogically" is right-why put POLAR on it if there's no cooling effect?

 

.Today's shave was nice. I had:
prep-Dove Care + 4 Men(bodywash)in shower
lather-IKE soap *(Strike Gold Shave)
brush-Razorock Plissoft 400 Synthetic
razor=Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-IKE*(Strike Gold Shave)

*-President Eisenhower's face on it, but it consists of President Kennedy's favorite scent(Eight And Bob)among others. There's no indication that it has an Eisenhower(Ike)favorite.

I repeated this from Monday. I wasn't here Monday for my report. Regardless of the confusion behind Ike, I like this one very much. The Eight And Bob scent is what attracted me, even though they credited a different President for the photo. Classic manly product. I'm going to try it once in the heat&humidity of summer to see if my face doesn't burn up(antithesis of how @Yehuda D describes the danger of his face freezing from glacials.). Clean and clear shave all around. No damage. 2 passes. I like being happy with my shave when I use this Presidential brand. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

I'm still working on the "Chasing The Dragon" A.S. you sent me. Worx best with an unscented soap(for me, that is).

 

Youe barber would be pleased to know you used this combination.

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger
Schick M-2 Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Clubman Pinaud AS

The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M-2 Adjustable razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wonderful shave and a beautiful picture!

Wednesday morning’s Frigidity:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 10
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Diana Menthol Balm
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash

Oh la la this Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave…….all I can say is wowwwwwww - such a MAGNIFICENT scent. The soap delivered tons and tons of awesome lather with a HUGE menthol sensation that easily matches the Stirling Glacials, and my skin felt so comfortable as well as relaxed. The Diana balm is another bone chiller which adds lots of moisturizing, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave froze the daylights out of me. Another dynamite three pass BBS shave that enjoyed from start to finish!

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