Great shave Gary!

I was told that soap is a face freezer!

Menthol Monday:

A glorious Grand Freeze!

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 10
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

If this shave was any colder my face would have disintegrated - what a beautiful scent this Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have. Three passes left me super duper BBS - did I ever enjoy this shave!

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

Shave of the Week Starting 19 August 2024

Baili BD131 razor
Rainbow Stainless blade
JR#85 Brush
Mama Bear's Lime Ice Shave Stick
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

This little razor has a lot of blade feel to me but worked rather well. And while looking through my stash, I found a bunch of Rainbow blades that I had evidently forgotten about. That's a shame since they work well for me. All the other parts liked each other and a very nice shave was had. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco, nice mentholated XXX clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka express" 26mm timberwolf synthetic. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. 26mm synthetics rocks for my shaving needs.
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.
