That BebeLush soap looks great. Interesting that it says Barbershop and Bay Rum on the label-after all, Bay Rum is popular in many barbershops.

Menthol Monday:

A great Grand Freeze!

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 3
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

My face is so frozen from using this Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave - my dear brother Fernando created two treasures that have such an amazing scent. The soap provides fabulous lather, it has an incredible menthol sensation that competes with any of the Stirling Glacials and the skincare is perfect. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Frosted Lavender aftershave were so soothing as well as icy cold. Finally the magnificent Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m good to go. Three glorious passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

GEMonday, August 12th 2024

Razor : Gem Jr 1912 variant paton style handle. Mfg 1938 variant, mild to tame mid range. Excellent stamped razor made of brass with a light tapered plastic handle that acts like a stand(Not sure why other manufactures don't offer similar handles). This little razor just performs and once mastered is a shavers treasure when it comes to results and no irritation IMO. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTEF (7) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Cyril R Salter(CRS) Wild Rose, nice scented rose scent 6/10 strength with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi" Atlantis" 24mm synthetic(G4?). Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Nice handle + great badger closeness to a 2band badger.
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 : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + 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 Jr 1912 with a coated Gem blade. (Very enjoyable close shave this morning)


Have some great shaves!

Thank you. I got it off Amazon, probably seven or eight years ago. I like it a lot. It's scented with bay rum, sweet orange & clove essential oils. It also has shea, cocoa & mango butters added. (I'm reading the bottom of the tin)
And it's free of all synthetic fragrances, dyes & preservatives.

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #460 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Contour Razor and the Personna PTFE SE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
