    Saturday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #462 Synthetic
    Supply SE Injector Razor
    Supply Black Label Blade
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Florida Water

    The Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #462 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector Razor and the Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Saturday morning:

    Long warm shower with Tabac bath soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 7
    Tabac Shaving Stick
    Lubriderm Moisturizer
    Tabac Deodorant Spray
    Tabac AS Splash
    Tabac Cologne

    Ever since I received a brand new Tabac stick and bowl I feel great because I no longer have to ration this wonderful stuff. This morning I pulled out my older stick which still has the beautiful scent and it lathers fabulously, it has plenty of slickness, and it’s so good in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the deodorant spray, aftershave, and cologne have me smelling great from head to toe. Three passes did me proud - what a fabulous BBS shave this was!

    Wishing you all a super duper day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Closed out (for now)the Aqua Velva "team. I may try to stick the soap in the fridge to cool it down more(it isn't quite the "icy" soap it says it is...perhaps it warmed up some in the shipping prOHcess. Does the job well though. A minute at the loading dock. Jumps right onto the brush(and I forget which brush I used today-this is bad). A couple minor marks up around N. Porcupine, but the cold-water rinse and Aqua Velva A.S. knocked 'em right off. 2 passes. More Niagra trouble on administering the Aqua Velva. Shux. Smells so good, why the large pour spout. Very Outstanding. A footnote-the brush was the Maggard 24 mm. Marble Handle.

    Sunday Afternoon 06/07/2025



    • Razor : Oliworks M3teorite 3 piece 304 Stainless Steel (USA).
    • Blade : 7 O'clock Black Super Platinum (1).
    • Brush : Grizzle Bay Blurple Evo Fanchurian badger .
    • Soap : Proraso Azur Lime. (discontinued) barber shop dispenser.
    • Aftershave : Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.
    • Weight : 114 grams.
    Hi all,
    I have a lovely shave this afternoon with my new Oliworks M3teorite razor.
    The first time I saw this on @Errol weekly razor reviews and recently the video by Dave in KY and also the one by Sig solo.
    Thanks to you all.
    It was the design of the handle that first caught my eye.
    The design reminded me of rock crushes I’d seen underground years ago.
    Oliworks workmanship and attention to detail is first class including the etching on the base plate and the unique top cap design.
    My razor came with the two and three plates as I rightly guessed the 1 plate would be too mild.
    I used the two plate for this shave with three days growth I think it matched up well with the 7 o’clock black blade .
    But for me the three plate will be my preference as I favor efficient close shaving razors (some say more aggressive).

    The Proraso Azur lime shaving cream works so well as always what a shame it appears to be discontinued.

    Finished Off with a very pleasant and zesty
    Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.

    One pass WTG/ATG and a couple of touch ups.
    No nick's no irritation no worries.

    Cheers.

    Sunday morning’s Delightful Grand Freeze:

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 8
    MSC Citrus Melody SS
    Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
    MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash
    Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

    Good Lord, this Citrus Melody stuff is FRIGID - both the soap and the aftershave. The scent is such a beautiful blend of lemon, lime, grapefruit, with a bit of tangerine thrown in for good measure, the soap’s tallow formula promotes magnificent lather that’s so thick, rich, super slick, cushiony as well as protective, the menthol sensation is neck and neck with any of the Stirling Glacials, and the postshave feeling is soothing as well as comfortable. The Stoffel balm is another bona fide face freezer - do I ever love its peppermint scent, and it gives so much moisturizing. The Citrus Melody aftershave went on bone chillingly cold along with its gorgeous scent and with no burning or stinging because it’s witch hazel based. Finally the lovely Eau Sauvage fragrance which is a very good match for the Citrus Melody scent. Three passes did the job perfectly for me - another awesome BBS shave that was so enjoyable. A special thanks to my two dear brothers Fernando and Jaco for creating these treasures!

    Wishing you all a nice Sunday - be well and stay safe![​IMG]
