Guten Morgen liebe Herren,

Meine Samstagsrasur:

(Good morning gentlemen,)

(My Saturday shave)

Hot shower with Tabac bath soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 6
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash

This morning I enjoyed myself so much - the Tabac bath soap left me spotlessly clean and smelling great, the shaving soap gave tons of awesome lather with lots of slickness, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer works so well as a balm, the Tabac deodorant spray is fabulous, and finally the matching aftershave went on with that heavenly old school scent that I love so much. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave - wow!!!!

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

Great shave bro!

I heard the Orbit soap and aftershave are freezing cold - are they really that strong?

Not really. It's brisk. But it's not something you would use on a "Menthol Monday."

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Haslinger Aloe Vera is a great performing nice mild fragranced shaving soap which my mature skin loves and creates an acceptable lather in a short space of time which doesn't dissipate or dry out on your face in between passes leaving a superb post shave feel.

The stubby Omega boar 10051 is wonderful for face lathering.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of sensitive aloe vera aftershave gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #1 Silvertp Badger
C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher
CV Heljestrand Wedge
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 C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher and the CV Heljestrand Wedge 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...

 

Sunday morning’s quickie:

Fast hot shower
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 7
Natura Siberica Arctic Wolf Shaving Gel
Natura Siberica Yak & Yeti AS Gel
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash

This is my second time using the Natura Siberica stuff which my wife bought me at a Russian specialty store and to be honest I think it’s fantastic although by no means would I use it regularly because I’m too much of a traditional wetshaver. The Arctic Wolf shaving gel actually has a pleasant scent, it doesn’t foam up but it goes on comfortably, it’s quite slick, it’s slightly mentholated, and it has excellent postshave care. The Yak & Yeti aftershave gel is very soothing, moisturizing as well as quite cooling. Finally I couldn’t resist slapping on some Tabac aftershave because I wanted to enjoy that wonderful old school scent. All in all a very nice two pass BBS shave - no complaints at all!

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