SoS: January 25, 2016 - January 31, 2016

That's good it works for you. It's strong enough for most menthol junkies and a great lathering soap also.

 

Your right I was surprised at how well it lathered and skin care was very good too.

 

1/26/16 Head Shave Of The Day

Prep: shower
Lather: TSE tallow
Brush: Vie-Long 13061M
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Ogallala Bay Rum

I've neglected my Weber since I received my Blackbird. Fortunately, the Weber did not forget what to do and gave me a nice 2 pass head shave.

 

Wednesday, January 27, 2016
Pre: Hot Shower, Sterling Pre-Shave Soap, Chatillon Lux Pre-Shave Butter
Soap: Strop Shoppe Baker Street
Brush: Thater 4125 3 Band
Razor: The One Blade
Blade: GEM Super Stainless #3
Post: Alum, Witch Hazel +Menthol, Whipped Shea Butter, Fine Platinum

 

If you want my honest and unbiased opinion the Cryogen is indeed a major menthol face-freezer. It's however only SLIGHTLY stronger than the Glacial soaps (to me) but inferior in the lather and skincare. I also find the lack of a scent to be disappointing from the Cryogen because it's so freakishly overly-mentholated. Yet, the Glacials are more intensely-cold than ever before because of Rod's production methods, and they have the same wonderful scents, they lather perfectly, and their skincare is brilliant.

 

Jeff which in your opinion is the coldest glacial from Stirling?

SOTD January 27, 2016

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Astra SP (4)
Razor: Wet Shave Club 3-piece
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Proraso White
Post: Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Nice, efficient shave this morning with CCS results. My 24-hour beard growth is continuing to lend itself to one pass with touch-up. I'm not as smooth as I would be with two passes but I'm also eliminating irritation or other problems by using this method.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

 

Thanks Roby!

The original boar knot was too stiff for my liking so replaced with the satin tip. Not only feels better but I think the black knot ties in really well with the handle.

 

planned SOTD for Wednesday Jan 27th

• RazoRock Mentor w/ Astra SP

Hello All, this is today's SOTD;

1937/38 Gillette Senator.
1956 Gillette Blue Blade.
Omega Travel Brush. (Boar)
Proraso Blue shaving cream.
Proraso Blue post shave balm.
Vintage English Leather as splash.
Vintage English Leather cologne.

I wanted to use a razor I haven't used in a while, so I got out my favorite Senator, and had at it. I rate this shave as a two pass BBS. Here's the Senator in its home, a case I personalized for it. -



God Bless, and have a good night.

 

Nice.

 

Thank You

 

Very nice!
