Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Everything in my shave set up this morning paired together wonderfully. The non La Toja stick has a good slickness & post shave I really like the fragrance of this shave stick, it's fresh clean scent reminds me of dove bar soap with a masculine edge to it.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thank you, but there is one grade higher than that. However, I am happy too, with SDO .

 

Yes, that's why samples are nice. You are less likely to wind up with a cupboard full of 20 years worth of soaps if you test them with samples first. Also, bear in mind that a shaving soap you hate as a shaving soap is still soap and often works perfectly well as a handsoap in the sink by the toilet...

 

A great Throwback Thursday shave this morning. I made the right choice to break out a glacial soap, with the hot weather. Gave my face and neck a nice "Ice Bucket Challenge"(something of which I'm sure there will be more in the next couple months). Clean clear shave all around. I really enjoy having the Caswell-Massey "Jockey Club" A.S. JFK did, too, presumably for the last 23 years of his life(1940 when it came out-1963). As Good As It Gets.

 

I've never washed my hands with a shaving soap, but I do with "bath soaps" because they(bath)are too big for my shower-no space to put 'em). Course Doc Ezlovan at Stoylin flips in a free hand-soap with most orders.

 

fine thursday affairs gentlemen.

June 5 SOTE

Good evening.

TSD Orange SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Lucky Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 2.5 Days



It was about time that I shaved. I didn't want to do it tomorrow because I didn't want to feel rushed. I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Funny, they called today to confirm the appointment. That's usual protocol. However, the office said that the doctor wants to do an ultrasound on my heart as well. They have a tech that does it in the same building. I said that I am busy tomorrow and that I only planned on just a regular visit. They said that's OK, we will schedule it when you come in tomorrow. So I have an upcoming procedure next week. I have been with this doctor for 4 months and he is good. I guess he has to make sure that my heart is ok before he gives me the release for my dental work. Lol! I guess it's for the best. Ok. Enough of my health journey. Let me get on with my shave.

Three passes gave me an error-free BBS shave. I really took my time to enjoy this shave. The Shave Den soap gave me a nice, slick lather. The alum feedback was stinging in various areas, but mostly on the neck. Splashed on the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to end this shave. Take care.

 

Terrific Thursday shaves gentlemen!

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

06 Jun 2025

1 ½ Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Palmolive Shave cream
Soap = TOBS Oud lathered over the top of the preshave
Brush = Semogue Pegasus C7 finest badger 2 band
Bowl = White plastic
Razor = Gillette 1939 No46 Popular
Blade = Kai (5)
Passes = 3 were needed
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASB = TOBS Royal Forest
ASL = Proraso Barbe Dure with Oud
Scent = Burberry Hero
Plus a few drops of Arabian Sunset Oud to the pulse points

The Kai still did well on day 5 but was starting to fade a bit, so this was duly binned
Not bad, normally I don’t go much beyond 3 days on one blade

Delightful damage free start to a chilly day, although the Alum made its presence felt
Hope you have/had a great Friday

 

superb collection and setup Gary

My samples last for ages, can't imagine how long to finish a full tub!

Thanks Eoin

All the best for the check up Joe. Always good to enjoy the shave and come out on top of the world.

 

thank you Joe.

 

thank you Chris.
