Shave of the Week Starting 5/26/2025

Razor...................SCS Model-A
Blade...................Silver Star
Brush...................PAA Amber Aerolite
Soap....................Bathhouse Soapery Mint & Eucalyptus
Past.....................Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S......................Various


Hadn't used the Bathhouse Soapery product in roughly about 15 years so today was the day. I don't get much, if any, mint or eucalyptus scent but do get a freshish scent that is nice. Also don't get much cooling effect. Regardless, I got a good lather and comfortable shave. That was helped by the SCS Model-A razor which is a good one for me. Might need to go to a different blade though. The Silver Star is nice but maybe not sharp enough in this razor. Anyway, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Mix
Ming Shi Adjustable
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Mix Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ming Shi Adjustable Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you. Those are all from the mind of the great Douglas Adams. And it’s quite fitting that his words make us smile all these years after he is gone. That is the real tribute to him and his trilogy in five then six parts!

Hi!
I hacked a vintage blade that I acquired a batch of. The blades have some oxidation but are still usable and are great.
I cut the tabs off the side but not all the way through and it fits perfectly and is stable and I was amazed at the shave. BBS in two passes with some touch ups.
