Thursday's Shave

Tom White Week

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Stick
Jayaruh #144 Badger
Torqued Slant by T. White
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne

The Arko Shave Stick Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Torqued Slant Razor by T. White with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I find I like the Feather blade better on subsequent uses than the first use.

What a great shave you had my friend!

The La Toja is another terrific stick - I think I’ll use it on Saturday morning!

Thursday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Shark day 9
MSC Vintage Spice SS
CutiBase Moisturizer
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

When the Shulton Old Spice soap and aftershave were discontinued I was really sad because I really love them but Fernando came up with a perfect substitute. Oh yes, his Vintage Spice has the exact same beautiful scent - the soap is a tallow based diamond, its lather works up so thick, rich, it has great slickness, and the skincare is numero uno. This CutiBase moisturizer is unscented, it’s so soothing, and the Vintage Spice aftershave is witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging from it, and the scent is so lovely - a million times nicer than the crummy P&G version of Old Spice which is sold in every pharmacy here. I enjoyed this shave so much and I got mega BBS!

Have a good day - be well and safe!

Have an awesome Thursday!

 

I haven't used my Tuscan Oud soap in a long time, as my Agadir aftershave(Oud)appears to be missing. Shux.

Thursday Shave

Soap: Stirling Naked and Smooth
Brush: restored Ever Ready
Razor: Karve with B plate
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
After: Stirling balm, unscented

I haven't used the Karve razor for a long time and the brass wasn't looking great with some big water marks. So I took the razor to the buffing wheel with some Flitz polish and brought back the shine! I like shiny!

Got a great smooth shave with excellent Stirling lather.

 

Thanks, Jeff! That was my first time using the soap actually. It's a really good performer for not much money!

I have the cream too, but haven't tried it yet.
