Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Astra Green day 11
Captain Nemo Green Ice SS
Prep ASB
Captain Nemo Green Ice AS Toner
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

This Green Ice is one of my newer soaps from Captain Nemo and it’s totally AWESOME. It’s vegan based like all of Abir’s soaps and it has a gorgeous scent that is a combination of vetiver, lime along with strong menthol fumes, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, the menthol sensation hits like a ton of bricks especially during the second and third passes but the skincare is terrific. The Prep felt so moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Green Ice aftershave toner contains no alcohol so it never burns or stings and its scent is just as lovely as the soap but it doesn’t disrupt the heavenly scent of the Bleu de Chanel. Three passes resulted in a magnificent BBS shave that was fit for a king!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap
SlimGem Synthetic
Open Face Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS

The HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Open Face Damaskeene Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great way to close out the month. We're in for a few warm days ahead, so I pulled out the Osage Rub A.S. The unscented Stoylin Sheep soap is a good shave item for that chilly aftershave. Very good shave, but I could have done better at North Cactus(top of neck). Zero cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. 2 passes. The aforementioned Osage came on nice and cold. I keep forgetting Osage now is a Clubman product, recently bought by the same company that recently bought Clubman. I don't think there was any Osage the year Ed Pinaud got the original Clubman going-1830. Anyway....nice chill to set the stage for the few warm days ahead. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

I agree. I use half of what I normally splash on to stretch it out. The original Kyovu as well.
