stunning
excellent job

 

I haven't tried the vanilla clubman yet, can you believe that? =P today was Aqua velva. Man it has a nice scent =D

Morning Menthol Shave
An early morning shave—a rarity for me—and one that was quite chilly, thanks to the menthol overload. The Valobra menthol effect is rather subtle so I added a few drops of TSD M-Bomb to make it noticeable. Three passes with the BB#44 for a DFS!

Have a great Saturday, all!

Welcome to the SOTD. Lots of eye candy here.

 

today's shave
hot water wash with dove+ care
Oscar11/ omega boar
Pyrate' cove coconut soap
Ever-Ready 1924 shovelhead
cvs persona(1)
crusella& co aqua de ruda
today's shave was nice. I longed for something out of the ordinary. I lathered with a new puck of coconut soap, tingled a little? the shovelhead was loud as usual, and hard to get around the nose. but three passes left me very close. finished with Rue water.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Damn I was hoping you wouldn't like MdC and send it to me haha! =P

Finest Badger brush made by myself
Gillette Aristocrat Deluxe
Rapira Swedish (3)
Cold rinse
Thayers Superhazel
Aqua Velva Musk aftershave

 

Saturday:

Maggard Eucalyptus PSO
Gillette Aristocrat 2+ passes
Ladas Super Stainless (5)
VDH Premium boar
Arko soap in a warm mug
Thayers unscented w/aloe
Old Spice Fresh AS

Didn't have time to shave yesterday so I had an extra bit of stubble to mow down this morning. Very nice shave with this razor/blade combo so I was surprised to note that this was shave number 5 for this blade. First time with Arko and it was just like using Derby albeit slightly less cushion but it's my first time with it so I'm sure it'll take awhile to get the soap/water ratio just right.

 

Weber PH Bulldog
Gillette 7OC Indian Green
Semogue BC Texugo
Institut Karite Soap
Alum

A late but very nice shave this morning after a lot of snow shoveling.

Oops. Thought I had the Mistura, but it was the Texugo today. Regardless, it was a very nice shave.

* Super Iridium
* WSP 2-Band + Doug Korn Cobalt Blue C7
* Mystic Water Irish Traveller
* Unrefined Shea Butter

What can I say? Just another amazing shave with MDC and the Ladas blade in a Slim Adjustable.

 

I really should use my Palmolive stick more often. That's the bad thing about having so many shaving things. A lot of good things get neglected. I had a comfortable BBS.
