(Face & Head Shave)

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend.

The Haslinger Aloe Vera is another great performing nice mild fragranced shaving soap which my mature skin loves and creates an acceptable lather in a short space of time which doesn't dissipate or dry out on your face in between passes leaving a superb post shave feel.

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

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

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

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

Saturday morning - almost a Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella/new Bic
Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
Nip Man ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Do I ever love this Frozen Tundra soap - it’s the second coldest after the Glacials. The scent is awesome - it’s minty, earthy with wintergreen notes, it provides thick, rich, super slick lather, it has a lulu of a menthol sensation, and it gives wonderful postshave care. The Nip Man balm from the UK has a very nice minty scent not to mention how cooling and moisturizing it is while the Floid Vigoroso aftershave has that gorgeous old school European barbershop scent that rocks my world and a boatload of icy menthol. I’m sort of on the fence about these Bic blades - this new one helped me get a most enjoyable three pass BBS shave so for now, no complaints.

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

+ 1 on the Floid Vigoroso AS Splash. you can't beat a generous splash of the "Mentally Vigorous"! It's a firm favourite of mine.

Honey Oud, eh? How doyou like the "Honey" persuasion?

 

Oh I agree with you on that - it’s a wonderful aftershave. I had myself TWO generous splashes of it and it smells so heavenly!

The Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem 3D Printed Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling Open Comb razor and the C.V. Heljestrand Wedge gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
