Saturday'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...

Have a great day!​

 

Saturday morning’s awesome Grand Freeze:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM
MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Bay Rum AS Splash

Wow, not only does this Frosted Bay Rum soap and aftershave freeze like crazy the scent is to die for if you’re a bay rum lover like I am. The soap is a tallow based treasure with the same performance as any of the Stirling soaps, the lather is sumptuous, there’s plenty of slickness to it, the menthol sensation is POWERFUL, and it’s chock full of skincare. The Prep balm delivered so much cooling soothing along with great moisturizing, and the Frosted Bay Rum aftershave went on frigidly cold and its gorgeous scent lasts just about all day. Another picture perfect three pass BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Wishing you all a wonderful day - be well and stay safe!
