A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Boots Freshwood ASL.

Thursday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 12
Stirling Electric Sheep SS
Bundubeard Boomslang 1 ASB
Sir Canada Ceder AS Splash

Do I ever LOVE this Electric Sheep soap - it’s mutton tallow based, its scent is a delightful blend of citronella, lemon, and a bit of eucalyptus, it lathers to beat the band, and it leaves the skin with a nice healthy tingle that’s so comfortable. The Boomslang 1 balm is extremely moisturizing, it smells really nice, and it has a little kiss of menthol. Finally the Canada Ceder aftershave from Germany went on with its beautiful old school European scent - a pity that it’s no longer available. Another wonderful three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all an awesome day - be well and stay safe!

Thursday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
L'Occitane Cade Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #474 Synthetic
Gillette NEW DeLuxe
Perma-Sharp Super
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman AS

The L'Occitane Cade Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #474 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW Deluxe Razor and the Perma-Sharp Super Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

My Suzumasa is one of those razors that does everything well but doesn’t seem to be outstanding at anything. Not sure how to describe that but there is no doubt it left me face-rubbing smooth

July 25, 2025

Prep: Hot water
Razor: Dscosmetic AX-SE 1.35
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
Brush: Simpsons (Somerset) Duke 3 Best
Soap: Nomad Theory: Magens Bay
Post: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Fragrance: Citron Citron by Miller Harris

maiden run with the DSC AX-SE 1.35, and with the BIC, I noticed a couple of tiny spots of claret peaking through the lather when going ATG, so I must remember to go steeper in that area in future, and using a more forgiving blade would no doubt also help.. other than that, it was a extremely satisfying shave.
As for the soap, Nomad Theory truly impressed.. lush, slick and plentiful.. in fact, I did an extra WTG pass just for giggles.. so, make of that what you will..

 

Thank you my Lantzman!! I've been using the same software for over a month and it is so good! At some point I will purchase some MdC samples so I can try the entire lineup.
