What a shave, what a shave, WHAT A SHAVE!!!!!!!!!!! Mr James Riley aka the Obsessive Soap Perfectionist created a gold medal soap in this Grapefruit Menthol version. It's got awesome lather with a lovely scent which is not really grapefruit but definitely citrusy and refreshing. It also has a POWERFUL menthol effect and a great post-shave feeling. My Krampert's Frostbite aftershave delivered its own beautiful freeze and such a wonderful soothing effect! Merry Christmas, folks!

Christmas day shave Prep: musgo real orange amber Razor: Gillette ball end tech Blade: lazer platinum Brush: ever ready 600 Soap: B&M Seville Post: cool water Balm Had a decent 2 pass shave. The Seville made a nice lather and is a clean barbershop scent. The blade was starting to show signs of dulling so it will b changed after this shave. Hope everyone has a great holiday.
Merry Christmas ya'll! Thursday! Music: Philip Glass; Einstein On The Beach Prep: hot shower, linseed oil rub, hot washing cloth Cream: Annemarie Borlind Brush: LIWA badger/boar mix Razor: Gillette Slim 3rd quarter '66 Blade: Schick platinum Shave: 3-pass + touch-up Post: cold water rinse Great BBS shave! The brush and blade are part of a gift. As unusual as the brush is, it whips up a great lather! It could do with a bit more backbone, but other than that it is a really nice brush. The handle holds nice as well! And... it serves as a 'hook' to hang the brush when it is soaking: Friday /Christmas day Music: Philip Glass; Heroes Prep: hot shower, linseed oil rub, hot washing cloth Soap: Tabac Brush: (probably De Vergulde Hand) Boar Razor: GEM OCMM Blade: GEM Shave: 3-pass + touch-up Post: cold water rinse Another BBS shave! This brush was a gift together with the LIWA. It's as soft as the downiest chick and lathers up real well! Since the wooden part of the handle seems to be uncoated, I unscrewed it, and right now it is soaking in linseed oil. I'll keep it soaked for a week or thereabouts so the oil can be absorbed into the wood.
