    well, the Nodachi landed yesterday, so it would be extremely remiss of me not to line it up for today's shave..
    Which was a stunning shave.. I don't understand why this doesn't get more love on the forums.. people say they can't get on with the handle.. well, I had no problems.. it's a handle, I really don't see what all the fuss is about..

    Friday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Nivea Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #2 2-band Badger
    Gem Jr. Baton Handle
    Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Nivea Shave Balm

    The Nivea Shave Cream was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Baton Handle and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  6. Friday morning:

    Cool shower
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Crystal day 2
    Noxzema Lather SC
    Prep ASB
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

    There’s no way I could have enjoyed a shave more than the one I had just before - it was such a delight to lather up with the Noxzema cream, the scent is so nice, the menthol sensation is great, and the postshave feeling is so soothing. The Prep delivered lots of cooling with plenty of moisturizing, and the Polar Ice aftershave’s old school barbershop scent is wonderful. Three passes delivered a perfect BBS shave - oh yes!!!!!!

    Wishing you all a good weekend - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

  19. Günaydın arkadaşlarım!

    (Turkish for Good morning my friends!)

    Saturday’s action:

    Long warm shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Crystal day 3
    Arko Shaving Stick
    Lubriderm Moisturizer
    Booster Mosswood AS Splash
    A big kiss from my wife

    The last time I used this Arko stick was about a year ago or so and that’s definitely not fair to this great soap so I decided to pull it out this morning and I’m happy that I did. I love the scent, (the wife hates it but I have to use it, not her!) it gives absolutely brilliant lather with tons of slickness, great blade glide, and such a comfortable postshave feeling. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me lots of additional soothing and the Booster Mosswood aftershave went on with its beautiful old school barbershop scent - do I ever love it. Three passes did the job for me - another super duper BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

    Hepinize harika bir gün diliyorum - iyi ve güvende olun!

    (Turkish for I wish you all a wonderful day - be well and stay safe!) Yes, I speak fluent Turkish! [​IMG]
