SOS: November 2025

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Proraso Blue
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T2
Razor: Oliworks M3teorite - Aluminum
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (2)
Post shave: Gillette Gel

 

Friday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 5
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

Do I ever wish that I could find my Shulton Old Spice mug and the two backup soap pucks because this Cold Spices stuff doesn’t cut it for me. The reason is because it’s mentholated and that what sort of spoils the scent and also it doesn’t have the skincare that most of my other soaps have. It lathers very well but it’s a bit tricky in that department so it needs some effort to get it right. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me great soothing, and finally the Cold Spices aftershave went on with a big chill - the scent started off beautifully but then the menthol started getting in the way. All in all a nice three pass BBS shave so I shouldn’t complain!

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

I might try Rex's 1944, but the 1955 looks good, too.

My Swedish friends have nothing to do with this soap - it’s from the Netherlands!

still reeling from missing the delivery of my new Wolfman yesterday, and it looks like it won't arrive until Monday now, so I'm going with the aggressive plate on the SS M3teorite for today's shave.

 

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #1 Silvertp Badger
Tourqued Slant Razor by Tom
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Clubman Lilac Vegetal After Shave

The Arko Shaving Stick was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertp Brush. Two Passes and touch ups with the Tourqued Slant Razor by Tom 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 Clubman Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
