Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash
Davidoff Cool Water EdT

Mama mia, if this shave was any colder my face would have fallen off - the menthol sensation of this Glacial Frozen Tuxedo stuff is insane. The scent is MAGNIFICENT, the soap delivers unbelievably thick, rich, mega slick lather with such a soothing postshave feeling. The Stoffel balm is another frozen delight, the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave put the proverbial “icing on the cake.” Last but not least the Cool Water fragrance which seems to pair very nicely with the scent of the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo and finito. Another three pass BBS work of art - what a cracking good shave this was!

Enjoy the weekend - be well and stay safe!

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
La Toja Shave Stick
Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
Gem Damaskene Open Comb
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The La Toja Shave Stick lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Damaskene Open Comb Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday morning’s Major Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 7
Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

Not only does this Glacial Cedar stuff freeze the living crap out of you, the scent is GORGEOUS. The soap is a delight to lather, the slickness is unreal, the menthol sensation can flatten a polar bear, and it delivers so generously on the skincare. The Stoffel balm has an extremely good moisturizing feeling - just a small amount is enough, and the Glacial Cedar aftershave has the same awesome scent as the soap not to mention how frigid it is. Another terrific three pass BBS shave that was so much fun!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
