Tuesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
Gillette Super Adjustable (8)
Astra Super Platinum
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Aqua Velva AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor on 8 and an Astra Super Platinum 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 Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tenth shave of No Variation NoVember. One-third of the way through. So far, so good...
​

 

Late night shave since I won't have time in the morning. Since I have a meeting in the early afternoon there was only one answer - break out the PAL Injecto Matic. 18 hours from now my BBS will be a DFS and all will be well.

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush
Soap/cream- Barrister and Mann Adagio
Brush- Omega S-brush
Razor- WEBER polished head all stainless steel
Blade- Gillette 7o'clock sharp edge
Post- Cold water rinse, Pinaud clubman original aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive cooling aftershave balm

The blade did a good job but won't be a go2 blade =) maybe it could be a "it was only 5$" product.

BM is a nice soap, but I won't be buying it anytime soon. Maybe in the future when I use up a soap I don't wanna replace maybe.

 

Tyr's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Nivea for Men Original Moisturizing Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger
Lather: Ginger's Garden Coffee Jasmine soap (with mango butter)
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (4)
Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (9, 10, 11)
Post: Cold water rinse, Thayer's witch hazel & aloe vera pad, Myrsol Metilsol AS splash
Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

This AM's shave was full of surprises. The Ginger's Garden lathered up in literally half the number of swirls I normally use on the puck. Normally, the 4th day shaving with a Bic I'll notice a decrease in sharpness and comfort; not so today. It's virtually unheard of that I'll achieve BBS results without an ATG pas, and yet, that's exactly what happened. No irritation, no redness, and no hint of stubble in any of the usual spots that need touch-ups. If only I knew what I did differently in this 'No Variation November' shave!

 

This shave was very good although a bit hurried. The Polar Vortex soap is so easy to lather that ten swirls are really all you need to cover your face and you have more than enough lather for a multi-pass shave. The menthol effect from this soap felt frigid - and I mean FRIGID like a winter morning in northern Ontario! The Diana balm moisturized my skin really well and gave me its own bone-chilling goodness, and finally the Rubby Dubby Doo put another coating of ice in my face!

 

6/8 Inox Wacker
Soap Commander
homemade brush/ 3 band knot of unknown origin

This knot is a terrible shedder. I'll keep combing until I run out of hair or it quits shedding. It has straightened out quite a bit but still loses some hair. It is very dense and soft, we'll see how it turns out. Excellent shave this morning, have a good one. To all you Jarheads, Happy Marine Corps Birthday!

A very good shave today with the new brush and soap. The brush is very soft with excellent backbone. It has a substantial knot and makes loads of lather. The Ghost Town Barber has a pleasant aroma and makes a very slick and cushiony lather.

Super shave. The Goose is a pleasure to use, Kai Captain Original was ok. WSP Tobacco lathers so easy it should be illegal.
It's better to give than to receive.
