Thanks. I also have the Pitralon Classic. I'll assume you can still purchase them, but I've had these for years.

Another update shave. I got distracted by my own yapping and did a fourth pass against the grain, ha ha!

 

Good fun

2 Days growth

Cream/Soap = TOBS OUD,
Brush = Old Vulfix 20 mm
Bowl = small white porcelain
Razor = Gillette No 77 thin handle tech 1945

Passes = 2 and some belated touch ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal

Henckels still felt pretty good on day 6 which is more than I get from most blades. Smooth, hint of some dragging, time to bin and move on. Fantastic start to a cool day in Perth

Have a safe and pleasant day everyone

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The Yaqi DOC Mellon head ("The grand shave king self lubricating razor clone") razor head paired up with the Bolzano SI blade makes a mild yet efficient razor & blade duo. Another great shave to finish the month off wonderfully. My highlight of the month has been my reacquaintance with the Mühle R41, which has provided me with what I consider BBS shaves.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Morning TOST
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
Gillette Goodwill, British
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Special Reserve

The Vintage Life Morning TOST Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Goodwill, British 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 Pinaud Special Reserve Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Fantastic, simply fantastic Akhi!

I felt so inspired to use Tabac also!

I'm sure we can, right.

 

Aaaaand, here we are at another Throwback Thursday. Here's what I had:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Stoylin Agar soap*
brush-Jayaruh#59
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-AgadirMen Cooling Tonic*
*1400 BC. Stoylin began in 2012, with Doc Ezlovan at the helm, but that still qualifies for Throwback Thursday.

 

He was great-one of those I'm proud to call a "Man of Men".

 

Tabac time again for Thursday morning:

Long shower with Tabac bath soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 13
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash

I’m so in love with Tabac now and especially that I have an abundance of it I no longer have to ration it like I did in the past. The scent of this stuff is such an old school delight not to mention how the bath soap makes me feel spotlessly clean, the lather from the shaving soap is fantastic, it’s so slick, and the postshave care is awesome. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, the Tabac deodorant spray adds more of the lovely scent, and the aftershave is wonderful. Another three pass beauty of a BBS shave - the 7 O’Clock blade is good for perhaps one more time.

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