Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 3
Captain Nemo Absolute SS
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Osage Rub AS Splash

Never before did I think that I would find a colder soap and aftershave than any of the Stirling Glacials but this Absolute Zero passed them although not by much. My brother Abir in Kolkata, India created these two menthol atom bombs and he did it beautifully - the scent is so nice - it’s aquatic with minty notes, the soap is vegan based, it lathers brilliantly with lots of slickness, the menthol sensation pummels your face mercilessly, but the postshave feeling is so soothing and comfortable. The matching aftershave toner has the same awesome scent with such a killer cold menthol punch along with plenty of moisturizing, and the Osage Rub put the proverbial “icing on the cake.” My goodness, what a dynamite three pass BBS shave this was and I enjoyed it so much despite my watering eyes!

See you all tomorrow - same time same station!

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Stick
Jayaruh 424 Synthetic
Russian Rocket 5/8
CWR
Lilac Vegetal

The Arko Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh 424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Russian Rocket 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

ASRazor shave, Saturday, April 6th 2024

Razor : Gem 1912, 1921 variant. Mfg 1912-1940's. ASR made millions of 1912 variants with different brand names because they where just that good a razor. They sold under Ever Ready and Star brands + Gem and some department stores most likely. USA armed forces also had lots of 1912 models during WW1 stamped army property. I find it a great tame mid range to mid range depending on operator technique. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (5). Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle IMO.
Soap : Speick stick, nice mild herbal scent with some of the best lather qualities I have used.
Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of my favorite brushes for some time.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave :Razorock American barber + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Gem 1912 with a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!
