SOS: August 2025

Friday 8th August
Schick I1 + Schick Injector II Japan #9 + Highlander TSR ‘23 LE + Arran Lochranza + Hierbas de Mallorca EDC + Aloe Vera Gel

 

Friday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 13
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

This morning I was in the mood for the beautiful Shulton Old Spice scent but although this Cold Spices stuff is very close the menthol in it blurs the scent a little. The soap is so thirsty but if I put my brush in the tub without shaking off any water it gives excellent lather that’s super slick. The postshave feeling is comfortable enough but I did well to apply some Lubriderm moisturizer. Finally the Cold Spices aftershaves and that’s it that’s all. Three passes gave me a tip top BBS shave that I sort of enjoyed - the only reason I’m using this soap and aftershave is because I received them a year ago as a birthday gift from a good friend of mine in New York City but once they’re finished I don’t want them again.

Wishing you all a great weekend - be well and stay safe.

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend..

Another superb performance from the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving Soap Bar which I use it like a shave stick rubbing it directly into my stubble then build up a lather with my wet brush adding more water to the tips of the brush continued building the lather until I get it to the consistency I prefer.

A enjoyable close comfortable combined face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Davidoff Cool Water ASL

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Prep: Hot water
Razor: Dscosmetic AX-SE 1.55
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (German)
Brush: Simpsons Chubby 3 Manchurian
Soap: Phoenix and Beau: Baskerville
Post: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Fragrance: Royal Tobacco by Amouage

pulled out the BIG GUNS for this shave.. and it was the 1st outing with the 1.55. The shave itself was incredibly smooth for the most part, and in no way did it ever feel intimidating, with no mishaps or drama, although there were a couple of times when it felt a little 'less comfortable'. I'm definitely looking forward to getting accustomed to this plate on future shaves. yeah, very happy with that..
