    1 day’s growth

    Gillette Labs (4)
    OUD
    Vulfix

    Quick shave, off to the Dentist so I held back on the scent

    Simple 2 passer, is this starting to drag on the 4th day of use? I think so…

    With its 5 blades It’s a bit clumsy to use around the moustache area and corners of the mouth, needing a different approach compared to a single edge DE razor, but still good for a more abbreviated shave

    Enjoy your day one and all

  8. I like the Bolzano Superinox inossidabile, I'll give them a run out at the weekend, the longevity of them for me is excellent.

    Thursday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Musgo Real Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
    England Gillette New Long Comb
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Lilac Vegetal After Shave

    The Musgo Real Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the England Gillette New Long Comb Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
  10. Preshave: Hot shower
    Soap/Shave cream: Proraso White
    Brush: Stirling boar
    Razor: 1957 Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip
    Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (1)

  14. Thursday morning:

    Warm shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 6
    Musgo Real Classic SC
    Nip Man ASB
    Musgo Real Classic AS Splash

    This Musgo cream has been sitting here in the house for ages so I pulled it out this morning and although it smells and lathers great it lacks in the skincare aspect. It supposedly contains menthol but I feel no cooling from it whatsoever. The Nip Man balm smells so minty and nice, it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing, and it’s quite cooling. The Musgo aftershave has a lovely scent but it feels a bit greasy. All in all a very good three pass BBS shave but it wasn’t as enjoyable as it could have or should have been. Ah well there’s always tomorrow!

    Have a nice day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

  15. What does "Animalized" mean?

  16. It's what they decided to call it... maybe because it contains Duck fat, Beef Tallow and Mutton Tallow..
