SOS: April 2025

Aaaand, we once again approach that special shaving day I call "Throwback Thursday". Here it is for the big day:

prep-Suave 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Stoylin Agar*
brush-Razorock "Tricolore" synthetic(Italian Barber Co.)
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Agadir**

*-Stoylin began back in 2012, which qualifies for a Throwback. AS for Agar, it keeps saying it goes back "thousands of years". That worx for me.
**-Agadir's products all consist of Agarwood(Oud Wood).

 

Schick Krona TTO Razor
Derby Extra Blade (2)
WCS Infinity Brush 26/50

Stirling Citron Shave Soap

Fine American Blend After Shave

Thursday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 12
Palmolive Classic SC
L’Oréal Men Expert Hydra Power ASB
Hega AS Splash (from Sweden and nice)

This is my setup for tomorrow - the Palmolive Classic cream was sent to me by a good friend of mine in Sweden and I’ve had the tube for a long time so I want to finish it off since there’s just a bit left - enough for one last shave. The L’Oréal balm is very soothing as well as moisturizing and the Hega aftershave from Sweden has a nice neutral scent as well as a bit of a cooling effect although it has no menthol.

Starting Friday morning I’ll continue posting after my shaves!

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A great cooling performance from the Ingram Shave Cream.

Recently I've enjoyed revisiting shaving assortments in my den that I haven't really gave much attention to in the past due to me reaching for my trusty favourites.

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 L'0REAL Soothing Birch Sap PSB.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

SOTD: 04/23/2025

Razor: Tatara Masamune Nodachi
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 2nd use
Brush: Zenith Boar Chromed Metal Handle
Bowl: Yaqi Lather Bowl Bowl
Preshave: Proraso Red Cream
Soap: Ethos Grooming Essentials DFS Colonia Cream
Aftershave: Ethos Grooming Essentials DFS Colonia Aftershave
Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal
Additional Care: Ariana & Evans Post Shave Serum

Wow! What a wonderful shave to match the day here on Long Island! My second time with the Nodachi. This time being only a days growth I went with the SB. And the Nodachi has again proven to be a smooth, balanced shaver. The weight in the SS is just perfect as I didn’t have to do a thing but let it do its thing. Nacets so far seem good in the razor but they seem to give me a good shave no matter the razor.

This is my first time using Ethos Grooming products. Not sure why I never tried them but have been seeing a lot of SOTD’s on the forums with them. So I pulled the trigger and holy cow where have I been wondering? The scent is spot on. Warm, citrusy, bright and enveloping. And a dimes worth sprouted into rich, thick, and super slick lather! And the skin food splash has left my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and supple. Not to mention the scent is knocking my socks off. As I speak it’s maturing and developing a wonderful bright, citrusy summer vibe! I’m happy I’ve found Ethos Grooming and can’t wait to get my hands on more! All in all another wonderful shave!

RazoRock Tobacco #2 Shaving Soap

Layrite No.9 Bay Rum After Shave

A few days ago I posted that I hardly got any scent from this Tobacco #2 soap. Maybe it was because I smelled it immediately after I smelled #1. Sorry for my mistake. It smelled fine this morning. Both of them always lathered great.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
SlimGem 3D Printed Badger
PAA Starling Open Comb
Personna GEM SS PTFE
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS

The Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem 3D Printed Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling Open Comb razor and the C.V. Heljestrand Wedge gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That’s a cool looking brush!!

Another great shave from you my friend!

If I’m not mistaken the Deep Blue is supposed to be a very close match to Bleu de Chanel which is a top favourite fragrance of mine!
