Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The Erasmic shave cream is another inexpensive shaving cream that doesn't have much of a scent, but makes up for it's performance and post shave feel.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Blue Stratos Original Blue ASL.

Thursday morning:

Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 12
Biolijf Spice SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

These Biolijf soaps from the Netherlands are apparently no longer available and it’s unfortunate because they’re so good. This Spice version has a beautiful spicy, exotic scent, its lather is so thick, rich, slick, cushiony as well as protective, and it gives a VERY comfortable postshave feeling that the Lubriderm moisturizer enhances. Finally the lovely Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave and I’m good to go. Another tip top three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

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

The Arko Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #47 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Vintage German DE Travel Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Looks like you decanted the AV sport into a larger bottle. Nice shave overall, Gary.

 

That's great that Italian Barber offers a GIT dupe.

 

thank you Paul.

 

Your poor razor looks bloody DEAD!, hasn't been re-plated for YEARS since the poor razor was born!

 

You're welcome Gary. I've yet to master the sport, desire, or creatability of decanting.

This razor was a gift from my Dad of dearly loved and cherished memory for my 14th birthday. When I received it, it sparkled and shined beautifully. The way I see it is it’s not about the looks it’s about the performance and believe me it performs like a champ. I’ll NEVER part with it.
