SoS; April 2018

Who is the crazy guy on the bottle? Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

GartBnx.....

 

Tcheon Fung Sing has some really decent shaving soaps and splashes with, at times, some of the worst graphics around.

 

Tonight's shave was with an American Made Wedge. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS, without a cleanup. Zero issues, just a silent shave from an excellent razor.

Razor- "Spike", by Union Cutlery, Olean NY.
Brush- B400 By Tom(@twhite ). Whipped Dog Boar Knot. 2 hairs lost.
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Avon Spicy. Viking Horn Decanter.

Hot water wash with a washcloth
Frank Shaving pur-tech on a whipped dog butterscotch
Catie's Bubbles Mile High Menthol (bombed 3 drops)
Above the Tie Calypso (R1)
Persoan lab (2)
Osage rub
Gold Bond medicated powder and lotion
Today I bout froze my face. Catie's MHM is pretty cool, but with the rubby dubby. Then i followed up with a gold bond rubdown. Smooth, cold,and comfy. A sprinkle of the powder in my drawers, I'm cool from eyebrows to kneecaps, smell like a giant cough drop. Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Assured $1 Razor & Derby Premiun #4
Yaqi Barber Pole Tux 28mm
Wickham 1912 Le Bleu
Thayers Medicated W/H
Nivea Vitalizing A/S splash


Great shave put in today. The Assured razor held up and then some for the month of April. The Wickham showed up in todays mail call and provided a very, very nice and pleasing lather with excellent slickness for a Vegan soap. Light on the scent, similar but not exact to Chanel Bleu. The Misses gave it a thumbs up and a smooch. Good enough for me. Have a great evening and great shaves Gents.....

Soap - Arko
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

Well, here it is boys and girls. The final shave for Arko Adjustable April! Qshave with the Sharp Star, the Wolf and Arko, two passes, touch ups. I got the baby in the house, no blood, alum just slightly warm in a few places. I'll take that as a fine finish to a fun month.

Thanks to everyone for another great month here! We finished a little below the pace of last April but it was fun, informative, and all in all, another fine month in the old 30DC. What's up next? We all know the answer to that.......MAYhem!!! I'll have the new room open shortly.

Love that set Tim. She looks amazing.

Excellent pic Jamie. I was wondering about the scent. I need to breakout the Alpha again myself. It has been too long. How does the EDP compare to the AS?

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the Muhle R41 fitted with a Gillette 7'o'clock blade. Marvelous lather from the KMF SC. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️
