Greetings,

Sunday morning shave,

The Scottish Fine Shaving Soap never fails to provide me with a excellent slick protective lather for the shave leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. The Indian GWS & Gillette Winner platinum blades have been smooth and efficient through the month and this morning was no exception. A great shave to finish the month off on a high.

In my July focus I'll be using my vintage & modern Gillette DE razors paired together with the Egyptian made Lord Asco Super Stainless, Silver Star Super Stainless, & Shark Super Stainless for my face shaves, and continue to use the Gillette Guard Cartridge razor for my head and dome shaves.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Attraction Totale ASL.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (29.06.2025)


Razor: Merkur Progress // Blade: Ewnto (Fly Dear) (2) // Soap: SV Felce Aromatica // Brush: RazoRock Hive 24 // Aftershave: Aloe Vera Gel

A really nice shave. Did not used the Progress for quite some time. Smooth and gentle on setting 2,5. 2 passes plus minor touch ups and a BBS was achieved. Applied some Aloe Vera Gel as Aftershave but sometimes Aloe Vera Gel is all i need. Love this stuff.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
J.A. Henckels Rapide
J.A. Henckels Wedge
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea After Shave Balm

The Nivea Shave Cream lathered well with Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher Razor and the J.A. Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Sunday morning:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new 7 AM
MSC Vintage Spice SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

Ever since I discovered this Vintage Spice soap and aftershave my cravings for the Shulton Old Spice stuff are completely satisfied - my goodness the scent is spot on identical. The Vintage Spice soap is a tallow based treasure with MAGNIFICENT lather, the slickness is awesome, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer is also chock full of skincare, and the Vintage Spice aftershave not only has the identical beautiful scent of the Shulton Old Spice, it lasts for hours and it’s witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging. The new 7 AM blade helped ensure a most enjoyable three pass BBS shave - wow!!!!!

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

A fantastic setup my Lantzman! Every time I see that you're using Noxema, I know it's really special and you enjoy it a lot!

 

Thank you Jeff!

I'm liking this setup so much that I will 3017 the software through at least the end of July. My wife absolutely loves the scent of Proraso after shave!

Have a great day!​

 

Thanks so much Akhi!

Noxzema is so precious and special to me - as I said, it was the first and only shaving item I used for most of my life. If it was still available I would give up everything else I have except for Tabac!

Menthol Monday’s Awesome Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Witch Hazel
Aramis EdT

Not only am I ever frozen to the max I smell great. The Glacial Wintergreen trio did a helluva number on me with its killer cold menthol sensation. The soap lathered like it was going out of style, the slickness helped the 7 AM to glide across my face so easily, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The matching balm and witch hazel were a perfect finish. Finally the lovely Aramis fragrance and I’m good to go. Three glorious passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was fit for a king!

Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!
