Cold Water Rinse
Ingram Shave Cream
Jayaruh #296 Synthetic Brush
Gillette New Standard,(1921)
Gillette Silver Blue

The Ingram Shave Cream was applied with the Jayaruh #296 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Standard Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Shave of the Week Starting 8/4/2025

Weber DLC razor
Gillette 365 blade
PAA Aero Amberlite brush
Williams Mug Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Quite nice shave to start the week with. I continue to enjoy Williams Mug Soap, it lathers easily and well for me and is just dandy for me. The Gillette 365 blade is not, apparently, to well known or used by folks here but I can say it is a pretty good blade that gives me comfortable/close shaves. So, all is well now go enjoy your day folks.

Menthol Monday’s Frigid Report:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash

Not only am I frozen to the max, I also smell beautiful even if I say so myself. The Glacial Frozen Tuxedo soap’s lather buried my face, the slickness was awesome, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was A1. The Stoffel balm felt so additionally moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave went on bone chillingly cold - the scent lasts almost all day. This morning three passes were enough for a brilliant BBS shave that was absolutely wonderful!

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

Razor: Carbon Shaving Co. Cx-Cu (Copper)
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium, 2nd use
Brush: Paladin Shaving Tigris Perla Badger
Bowl: Captain’s Choice The Admiral Bowl
Preshave: Hwayeon Soap Co. Shaving Gel Gel
Soap: BBS Soap Co. Tiki Cream
Aftershave: BBS Soap Co. Tiki Aftershave
Additional Care: Osma Alum
Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal

For today’s warm day I went with the Carbon Cx copper and BBS Soaps Tiki! What a great idea it was!

The Carbon Cx is really an amazing razor. It armed with a Wizamet sliced through three days of growth quickly and ever so smooth as if there was no blade in the razor at all. I can see myself owning another Cx in my future!

And Tiki is fantastic! Bursting with fruit scents. And when I say fruit not just a general fruit scent. I pick up individual fruit scent notes. Watermelon, banana, coconut, orange. Such a wonderful medley and the perfect touch of cooling in the splash! Tiki made my evening!

All in all a wonderful mid summer shave!

Greetings,

Early morning combined face & head shave.

An excellent performance from the Kanzy K100 razor has a well-balanced weight it's closed 'tech type head' which holds the blade rigidly which blade chatter is reduced to minimum with no blade over-hang which is very comfortable to shave with, and additional protection of not catching my ear lobes or under my nose when shaving.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of P&G Old Spice Bearglove ASL Spray.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
