Thank you Jeff!
I prefer scented soaps but the base in SW is fantastic. I just might make it three days in a row. No matter which AS I select, Proraso or Tabac, they are a perfect finish to the shave.

Have a great day!​

1951 Gillette Superspeed
Astra Superior Stainless (2)
House of Mammoth Kryptonite
Frankenshave AS

This is one great shaver. 50’s are my favorite decade for vintage razors. The best (in my personal opinion) Gillettes made in the US, and the classic Merkur Progress - one of the best shavers ever designed - in Germany.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Soap
Jayaruh #47 Synthetic
Vintage German DE Travel Razor
Gillette Super Blue Blade X3
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave

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...

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Proraso White
Brush: Maggard 24mm
Razor: 1955 Gillette Super Speed Blue Tip
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Post shave: Clubman Pinaud Reserve Whiskey Woods

Friday morning’s Nuclear Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 13
MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Bay Rum AS Splash

Wowwwwwwwwwwww is really all I can say - this Frosted Bay Rum soap and aftershave have the most MAGNIFICENT bay rum scent I’ve ever experienced. The soap is a tallow based treasure with some of the best lather, the menthol sensation is POWERFUL, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Prep always delivers very generously on the moisturizing along with a nice menthol cooling, and the Frosted Bay Rum aftershave is a bona fide face freezer - its scent is not only delightful, it has great staying power. What a brilliant three pass BBS shave this was! Now I’m heading to the synagogue to lead the morning services!

Wishing you a good weekend - be well and stay safe!

It was discontinued something like 25 years ago here in Canada but then it came back in Italy for a few years. Then it was discontinued again over there and since then it’s gone everywhere.

A pity because to use it is to love it.
