Razor: Gillette Slim (1965)(7)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (6)
Brush: Whipped Dog Silver Tip Badger, Black/Marble Handle-22/65
Soap: Synergy Shaving Soap Bay Rum
A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Bum
Day 29
Outstanding shave his evening. Outstanding is better than DFS, but not quite BBS. IMHO, I really like the Synergy Bay Rum Soap, and the Captain's Choice Bay Rum A/S. The slight glitch in the shave is this brush. I believe it has to much loft for a Silver Tip brush. This makes it very floppy and a little difficult to apply soap. I have a few Silver Tip brushes and I don't have any issues with them. I set those brushes myself and 49-50 is my max. the Gillette Slim setting for me is #7. I get a very close and comfortable with that setting.

 

Outstanding A/S. Amazing song. thanks for your post.

 

Good luck at the Lab.

 

For my Sunday morning shivering session:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 7
Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Old Spice Cologne

Damn, just before I showered with the Glacial Spearmint bath soap and let me say this - it can FREEZE you to Kingdom Come and then some. The shaving soap version is BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-Cold and beautiful with such awesome lather and that delicious, bathroom-filling scent. The Stirling products I've tried are all so skin-friendly. I wish that I wouldn't have waited so long to get the Glacial Spearmint balm and witch hazel because they're both sold out, but the Glacial Wintergreen versions are also magnificent. A super-nice BBS and frigid shave awaits me!

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you!

 

Sunday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap
Bethlehem Olivewood ST
Gillette President
Personna SS
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bethleham Olivewood Silvertip brush. Two passes with my Gillette President razor and a Personna SS 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...
