Wednesday morning’s antique shave:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Bic day 7
Barnängens Parba Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Stirling Island Man AS Splash

This Barnängens Parba stick is from Sweden and sadly it was discontinued a long time ago - in any case it’s over 100 years old and I received it as a gift from a Swedish friend of mine along with some other vintage goodies. This stick’s scent is old school and so nice, it lathers great, and it provides a very comfortable postshave feeling. I use it perhaps once a year so I can make it last as long as possible. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, and do I LOVE the Island Man aftershave. I was kind of in a bit of a hurry so I did just two passes but I still got an awesome BBS shave that was very easy as well as enjoyable!

Wishing everyone all the best - be well and stay safe!

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
Gillette Pocket Edition (1914)
Gillette Nacet Stainless
Cold Water Rinse
Duru Cologne

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Pocket Edition (1914) razor and the Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Beautiful setup !

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Bic day 8
MSC Peppermint Latte SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
MSC Peppermint Latte AS Splash

My dear brother Fernando in Johannesburg, South Africa is a true soap and aftershave genius - his Peppermint Latte smells so awesome. The soap is a tallow based treasure with fantastic lather, it’s so slick, it’s freezing cold, and it’s chock full of soothing postshave care. The Gold Bond moisturizer doesn’t lack menthol either and it’s so good for preventing dryness or irritation. Finally the Peppermint Latte aftershave went on frigidly cold but with no stinging or burning because it’s witch hazel based. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that was lots of fun!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
