Pitralon-when I first joined here, it appeared all members were using that aftershave. After a while, I saw others.

razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Mennen Skin Bracer

 

Saturday(19)-plan:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash
lather-El Adulazo*(The Wet Shaving Store)
brush-BOAR(Razorock silver handle, vanilla knot-"Omega")
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Piot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Aqua Velva(Classic Ice Blue)

Fine shave this morning. I really like the soaps this store produces, and will get another for the fall/winter. El Adulazo is their Aqua Velva clone-best for summer. Clean, clear shave all over. No damage. A little better job pouring out the Aqua Velva, but not 100%. That's my summer goal-get to that 100%. But I was very satisfied overall. Most Outstanding.

Sunday morning shave,

I find the Lea shave stick is absolutely superb, not just for it's price tag, but most importantly for it's performance & post shave feel.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Cien Men Aqua ASL.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Third test run with this Henson clone in stainless steel. The fit and finish is no where as good as the real thing, but man what an amazing head design and shaving experience.

I'll definitely be investing in a real Henson sometime soon.

Sunday morning:

Long shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 8
Bundubeard Sanga Symphony SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Stirling Island Man AS Splash

Damn, is this Sanga Symphony soap ever awesome - my dear brother Jaco really nailed it with this one. It’s tallow based with a beautiful scent that’s soapy with cologne notes, the lather is unbelievably thick, rich, mega slick as well as protective, and it has excellent postshave care. The Lubriderm moisturizer enhances the soothing so well, and the Island Man aftershave’s scent is so lovely - it’s a carbon copy of Virgin Island Water from Creed which is a fragrance I had years ago. Three passes gave me another cracking good BBS shave that so much fun!

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