Thanks Gary.

 

Love to see someone else using tiki soaps. They are so good. Ive got like 12 of them from years ago.

 

Hi Friends,

today was my last shave in August…September is coming in. Fall is about to begin…lovely. When the leaves change their colours and everything looks so nice…awesome…so, here is my shave…


Preshave: menthol Cube // Razor: iKon B1 Slant // Blade: Rotbart Extra Dünn // Soap: Soap Commander Honor // Brush: Cool Dog Hybrid Synthetic // Aftershave: Aqua Velva

Great shave. The Slant is extremely thoroughly and gentle at the same time. Nice.

Soap Commander is such a fantastic soap…the lather is exquisite and the Honor scent is so so good…

Splashed a healthy dose of the Aqua Velva and I smelled fantastic.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Tiki was my first Artesian shave soap and it is still a superb soap. I have seven in-house, and four of them were custom blends that she was willing to make for me.

Menthol (WS-23) Micromatic Monday

Monday August 30, 2021
Razor: Bumpless Micromatic
Blade: Gem SS (1)
Brush: Stuart/Timberwolf
Soap: A&E NYC
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: A&E NYC Splash
Fragrance: n/a
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1027

So a touch of WS-23 Cooling powder was added to the A&E NYC to give it that Menthol freeze. I must remember that a little goes a long way with this stuff. GREAT Micromatic shave. This one is missing the bumps on the baseplate top for those that see a difference in the 2. All I know is it gives an amazing shave. Not sure I see a difference when I use the other one I have or not. Hope all in the way of Ida are weathering things well and are safe. Have a great Monday Everyone !

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #426
Gillette Twinjector
Personna Injector
CWR
Osage Rub

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #426 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Twinjector with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I know that the Gillette Twinjector came with the Twin injector blades, and I have some, but I use regular injector blades in it. I had forgotten how smoothly this razor shaves. It handles like a sports car. It is nimble and efficient. It will be up through Saturday this week.

 

Copy cat!

Look what I used today!

Great shave brother!
