Aaand...my favorite shave day is fast approaching-Throwback Thursday. Here's the lineup for tomorrow:

prep-Harry's Bodywash(Sandalwood&Cypress)in shower
lather-OSP soap(Old Gold)*
brush-Stoylin "li'l brudder" synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-New Spice**

*-OSP is Obsessive Soap Perfectionist co. Old Gold is their Old Spice dupe-1938
**New Spice is from Proctor&Gamble, and, like Old Gold, is their Old Spice dupe-1938. The bottle looks very much the same as the original Old Spice, and shows the birth year of Old Spice, but I call it New Spice, as it ain't Shulton's version.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A simple, but very enjoyable shave to finish my shaving week off with no drama. I find the Lea shave stick is absolutely superb, not just for it's price tag, but most importantly for it's performance & post shave feel.

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 Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

Thursday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 4
Tabac Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac AS Splash

Am I ever happy that I have a brand new Tabac stick on the way to me because I love this soap so much - everything about it is wonderful - scent, the lather, and the postshave care. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing, and the Tabac aftershave gave me its lovely old school European scent that’s exactly like the soap and after a two second sting it felt great. Before my shave I showered with the Tabac bath soap which is AWESOME. Three passes gave me an absolutely brilliant BBS shave that I couldn’t have enjoyed more!

Wishing you all a fantastic day - be well and stay safe!
