    The Cella Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #157 synthetic brush. I did two passes the German OT Travel razor and Rapira Platinum Lux blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vinilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Here's my shave plan to open the new week:

    prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(COOL)in shower*
    shave-Rise Super Foam
    razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Mennen Skin-Bracer


    *
    Some of you may recall my rant at Nivea 4 Men for putting up a new bodywash that doesn't appear to be any different from COOL. I decided to finish out my COOL, andthen go back to Dial 4 Men for good. Nivea's idea sounds like "You like COOL? Good, we'll come up with a different name, but just as cool". Go ahead fellas, I don't see anything wrong with COOL, so you're wasting your time.

    Brush: - Semogue SOC Boar in Ash Wood 24/55mm
    Lather: - Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Razor: - Colonial Razors "The General" with The Stray Whisker "Howitzer" Handle
    Blade: - Kai Captain Titan Mild Blade #1
    Post Shave: - Speick Aftershave Splash
    Fragrance: - L`Occitane Eau des Baux EDT

    :eek: WOW!! I really love the feel of the Colonial Razors "The General" I had the aluminum head came in the mail last Friday, and this baby really shave completely different and very smooth on my skin when I attached the TSW "Howitzer" handle for some extra weight because the head is very light. This is my very first SE razor into my collection and I'm looking forward to used this for a while to see how long the Kai Captain Titan Mild blade will last me before reaching another blade, I must say I'm really impressed with the shave very smooth not a single nicks & cuts anywhere also 100% irritation free shave.

    I doubt that even a professional barber could have shaved me closer than this because I'm super-BBS. The Glacial Wintergreen soap's magnificent, frigid lather softened up my tough beard stubble so my Super Speed loaded with a new Astra could give me an impeccable shave. The freezing effect from the matching balm and witch hazel is just what I needed! :happy088: :happy088:

    Have a great week, folks! :)

    Today's shave
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    Semogue SOC
    Bombed Captain's Choice Bay Rum
    Gillette New long comb/common bar handle
    Persona Crystal (1)
    Ice Virgin Island Bay Rum
    Today's shave was very good. It had an old timey feel, but with a menthol boost for menthol Monday. Three passes with the New lc, felt a bit of exposure, but with a touch of attention, I caught a very smooth shave. Finished with omega alum and IVIBR.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170410_090904_resized(1).jpg
