Welcome to the Northern Hemisphere, Summer! For me, the new shaving week starts off like this! Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Derby day 6 Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Aramis EdT I would say that this Glacial Wintergreen trio is more than frigid enough, wouldn't you agree?
Monday's Dove Men Face Wash Tabac Omega 11137 Boar Gillette Black Handle SS Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Clubman The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Omega 11137 Boar brush. Two passes with my Gillette Black Handle SS razor and a Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I will use Williams Mug Shaving Soap I will continue to use it the rest of this coming week, in Honor of my Father for Father's Day, and my Birthday. He always used either Williams Mug Shaving Soap or I think Palmolive Shaving Cream in the can. I do remember him using a mug and brush. He also always used a Gillette Razor of sorts DE/TTO Maybe after all of these years I have finally learned how to shave?

SOTD June 22, 2015 Prep: Shower...hot facecloth followed by homemade rose pre-shave oil Soap: Sterling Naked and Smooth (Unscented) Razor: Fendrihan DE Blade: Feather Brush: Omega Boar Bristle Aftershave: Hot facecloth followed by Lavender Witch Hazel Aftershave balm: Shea butter Mustache Wax: Badger As expected, the Sterling Naked and Smooth (Unscented) is a wonderful soap...it lathers easily and feels great on the face. There is no scent...just a nice natural earthy hint of tallow. I like this soap. Lubricates well and it leaves a nice clean feeling. No nicks or weepers. A good way to start a Monday morning...I am ready to take on the world...
Oh my goodness - my face is so darned frozen after this shave. The Glacial Wintergreen trio did the job beautifully. The soap lathered so well and its menthol sensation clobbered me right away, the matching balm and witch hazel added so much extra iciness with great skincare.
06/22/2015 Razor – ATT R2 with Triad Helix SS Blade – Feather (3) Brush – Olive Wood with TGN Finest Fan Lather – B&M Seville Post - Witch Hazel & Fine L’Orange Noir Another great shave this morning. First time using Fine AS. Initial impressions are it is a very nice AS and I think it I will really enjoy using it.
Today's shave was wonderful. I used Provence Sante with just a touch of TOBS Rose for a wonderfully scented and luxurious shave. 3 passes & feeling very smooth. Provence Sante Voskhod Blade Slim Adjustable

SOTD June 22, 2015 Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Shield Face Wash Razor: iKon Shavecraft 102 Blade: Personna Lab Blue Brush: Semogue 1305 Lather: Klar Kabinett Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Shambala Nice 3 pass shave. Klar is one of my favorite soaps. The one drawback of the SC102 is its tendency to clog very easy due to the blade gap. This Semogue 1305 will soften or fall apart. I will win! A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!
