Brush: Manchurian Best Badger from QedUSA.com
bowl: Captains Choice copper oceanic
pre: hot shower, PAA ice tube
soap: PRAIA from Stirling Soap
post: TSD milk, PRAIA AS splash

Shaved for the 1st time with the straight bar that I got from ATT a couple days ago and got what I consider a bit above a DFS. I keep telling myself I’m not chasing that BBS anymore so I don't get irritation but I haven't been able to help myself and always get scolded by the alum. Next time I’ll try harder. Received PRAIA shave soap, bath soap, and AS today from Stirling Soap and I got to say, WOW!! What an awesome scent!! PRAIA is now my favorite scent from Stirling Soap, edging ahead of Barbershop, Sandpiper, and Haverford. If anyone’s making a purchase from SS, you’ve got to try the PRAIA AS at a minimum, the shave soap is awesome as well, nothing short of AMAZING!!

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
CTAPT Shaving Cream
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
Burham Safety Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The CTAPT Shaving Cream was face-lathered well with the Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Burham Safety Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Friday morning:

Long warm shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Bombay Shaving Company SC
Bombay Shaving Company ASB
Proraso Green AS Splash

This Bombay Shaving Company cream and balm are from India and they’re both great. The scent is very nice, the cream lathers so easily, it’s very slick as well as protective, there’s a mild but pleasant menthol sensation, and it’s so skin friendly. The matching balm has the same scent and it’s moisturizing as well as soothing. Finally I gave myself some nice chilling with the Proraso Green aftershave. No complaints about this shave - three passes delivered an awesome BBS result!

Wishing you all a good weekend - be well and stay safe!

Great shave Gary!

The Palmolive Menthol is a fabulous cream - it’s something I always want to have in my rotation. I love the scent, the way it lathers, and gives a great icy feeling!
