Friday morning - close to being a Grand Freeze:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
Bundubeard Boomslang 3 ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

This Frozen Tundra is the second coldest soap after the Glacials and I LOVE it. The scent is awesome - it’s a blend of wintergreen, peppermint, and earthy notes, the lather and slickness are super, it gives a lulu of a menthol sensation, and it’s so skin friendly like all of Rod’s soaps. The Boomslang 3 balm is extremely moisturizing as well as soothing, its scent is very nice, and there’s plenty of menthol in it also. Finally the magnificent Floid Vigoroso aftershave with its old school European barbershop scent and its icy cold menthol kick completed the job. Another terrific three pass BBS shave that felt like from the Garden of Eden!

Happy 4th of July to all my friends in the US of A!

The Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #462 Synthetic Brush.

After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend. The 70's Gillette tech paired up with the Shark super stainless.

The appearance & weight of the short nimble aluminium handle gives the overall appearance of the razor an almost "toy-like impression" that the razor is a gimmick however, I've experimented using different stock handle's with it and find the Lord L125 aluminium longer handle improves it's feel & performance making it feel more balanced, paired together with the Shark super stainless, with the addition of using good technique it performed wonderfully.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Splash-On Lotion.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
