25 Oct 2025

2 Days growth

Cream/Soap = TOBS OUD
Brush = Old Vulfix
Razor = my other Gillette No 15
Blade = Henckels day 4, really surprised how sharp and smooth this still is on day 4
Passes = 2 and some touch ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal
ASB = TOBS Royal Forest
ASL = Proraso with Oud
Scent = Oud Malak

Super smooth and all scented up for the day ahead

Bit surprised really at how well the Henckels did on day 4. It was a better shave when compared to my other No 15. Could there that much difference between the No 15s? Apart from the barn door tarnishing they look the same. Anyway: a super smooth DFS

Post: Ūgen Witch Hazel & Aloe
Lustray Draggon Noir EDT

The Erasmic lather thinned and evaporated very quickly. Despite having good ingredients, it gave me a lousy shave. The alum stung and my face is reddish. I'm putting blame on the soap. It's going to the trash.
Life is good.
Have a great day everyone.

Saturday morning - close to a Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 8
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

These “Kick” soaps from Bundubeard are divided into three categories with Klipspringer being the least mentholated, Kudu being midrange and Kameelperd being the most intense. They all have the same beautiful coffee/peppermint scent, they’re glycerine based, the lather is awesome, this Kudu has an actually STRONG menthol sensation, and the postshave feeling is wonderful. The Stoffel balm is bloody cold, I love the peppermint scent, and it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing - just a very small amount is enough. The Alt Innsbruck aftershave is also very cold and it has a lovely old school European scent. Three passes gave one helluva nice BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

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

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap

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 Enders Speed Razor and the Supply Black Label Injector 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...
