About 5 or 6 years ago I believe.

Nice shaving setup my friend! Several years ago I did a Proraso challenge to see how many shaves I could get out of a tub. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. My son's have a tube of both the green and white. One of these days I just might have to revisit this soap!

Thanks so much brother!

Proraso lasts a long time - even if you use it every day!

(Face & Head Shave)

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend...

I'm really enjoying my menthol themed shaves. It's a great way to wake up those face & head sensors!

Another great shave with the Yaqi DOC Mellon. The razor head for me is actually quite mild, but I shave with a steep shaving angle, due to the vast majority of my DE razors are Parkers, which perform best with a steep shaving angle. The Yaqi DOC Mellon is also a razor that performs wonderfully with a steeper shaving angle. Another great razor & blade duo.

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

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

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

Well that's interesting. Sharpologist's comment on his Youtube short video said he felt it shaved better without the vibration, do you feel the same? That looks really heavy on the handle!

Very pretty

gave the Personna a run today, as I heard good reports about it.. well, it was a great shave, and I really couldn't fault it, unless I was going to nitpick... so, why didn't it knock my socks off? maybe a go in the Weber will make more of an impact.


Shaving.. to be enjoyed, not endured.

Saturday 19th April
Easter Birthday shave
Canadian Schick E3 v6 + NOS Personna SS Pt #1 + Cadman Custom M7 + Old Spice Original + Electrif's Bay Rum v2 + Aloe Vera Gel

Saturday 19 April 2025

1 Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Palmolive shave cream
Cream/Soap = Stirling Bergamot and Lavender
Brush = Omega boar 10049
Bowl = white plastic
Razor = Gillette Rocket HD
Blade = Wilkinson sword made in England (1)
Passes = 2 +
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, L’Occitane ASB
ASL = Pinaud VIBR
Scent = Stirling Spice EdT

This blade felt crisp, sharp enough, not the smoothest feeling but that may be from my close shave y’day. Seems to be an older type of blade, the paper wrapper is yellowed and the wax dot was fairly sticky, but overall very happy

Happy Easter Saturday everyone

Many happy returns. Cool brush handle btw

Saturday morning - a Nuclear Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 6
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
Diana Menthol Balm
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash
YSL Pour Homme EdT

My face feels almost frostbitten after this shave but I love that sensation so much and do I ever smell great. Three passes really did the job for me - another most delightful BBS shave - wunderbar!

See you all tomorrow boys - have a great day!
