    Departing from my usual, a planned SOTD. Nephew getting married this evening. After a shower & shave my ride will be here to pick me up. Being chauffeured, I reserve the option to be the Drunk Uncle at the reception. Good day, Gentlemen and Ladies.

    ZCOLDWATER.jpg

    TESC Pre-Shave Oil
    Proraso Green Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #40 Ubersoft 2
    Gillette Red Tip
    Personna Blue
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    The Proraso Green Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #40 Ubersoft 2 synthetic brush. Two passes with my Gillette Red Tip razor and a Personna Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Third day in a row using ABC shaving cream (croap) and can confidently say it provides the best post shave performance of any soap/cream in my den.

    This One X soap and aftershave are wonderful - the soap has such great lather and they both have such a magnificent scent. The aftershave has a mild, but pleasant cooling effect! ;) :D

  9. 2/20/16 - @portlandengland and the GEM Pushbutton!!

    I won the Soap, Brush and Bowl during a Christmas giveaway.


    The soap is Tallow based and has good slickness and cushion with a clean fresh scent kind of like the open sea.
    The boar brush is a good little guy. Nice backbone with about a 20ish mm knot.
    The bowl is enamel. It worked pretty good working up a lather. The only bad thing is it's white and hard to see the lather. But it wasn't too bad.

    The Razor came out in the 1950's. A really nice mild shaver. A great beginner SE Razor.

    Loaded it with a PTFE GEM blade and wrapped it all up using Fine Fresh Vetiver

    Video up if you want to watch. :)

    Lather: Stirling Tea Tree

    This new to me razor shaved wonderfully. It is very mild, which my face sort of needed today anyways. Paired very nicely with a Voskhod, which is starting to best the GSB for my #1 blade. The lather today took a while to get slick enough. I love Stirling soaps, they are just much more thirsty than my other soaps and creams, but still ended up with a thick and slick lather. Ended with a near BBS, just a couple patches on my neck that are difficult to get to. Enjoy your weekend everyone and God bless!

  12. Shave of the day


    Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush

    Soap/cream- Haslinger Schafmilch shave soap

    Brush- Omega S-brush

    Razor- AlumiGoose

    Blade- Feather Artist Club Professional(4)

    Post- Cold water rinse, Kueshi Pure&Clean face toner, Monu aftershave Age combat and my The body shop Aloe Soothing night cream



    A nice shave this evening/night its 30 minutes past midnight here.



    It was a while since I used the Haslinger soap. I was talking to @tuxxdk and I was reminded of the Haslinger soap (it was a gift from him). I recently received a sample of Penguin Bay rum so I thought I would use that too in the shave. I gotta say, it smells very very nice! It feel like It was a little more alcohol sting, but I might be imagining it =P



    I got a nice shave. It was the fourth shave on the Feather pro blade and I can already feel its loosing its edge. I want one more shave out of it though! I might have to whip out the MdC or the MWF =P



    All in all a close shave with a nice smelling finish =)

  17. Effort? That soap is a top performer in my book, practically lathers itself!
