    This will be my third and final shave with the Barbasol Floating Head. The problem with having too many vintage razors is that some of them are just exemplary shavers. The Barbasol Floating Head is one, but tomorrow I’ll be shaving with another, the Cooper Monobilt. The Barbasol has delivered two great shaves, the first a DFS and the second a BBS. After waking up to a beautiful sunny morning in Philly, I decided to enjoy a leisurely three pass shave with no goal in mind other than a pleasurable shave. The pieces were all in place.

    The Omega Pro48 Boar is just a wonderful shave brush! Great backbone along with well-broken-in feather soft brush ends generates a thick paste from the scuttle that is then applied to both face and noggin. I really enjoy the luxurious face and head brushing that also exfoliates as the lather builds. My barber who I see about once a month for a straight razor head and face shave taught me the method. I had complained to him about being unable to generate a decent bowl lather with MWF. I’ve found his approach - building that initial rich, glistening, yogurty MWF lather on the shaving surfaces instead of in the scuttle - and then wetting the brush in hot water from the faucet as needed and adding it to the paste on the face and dome leads to the cat’s meow of lathers! It’s never failed, regardless of water type, and the process just feels great!

    The shave was a joy this morning. I began with my usual cold water rinse. I have stopped using PAA Preshave Cube soap about five days ago. It had been a regular part of my shave routine, but 22 days of MWF has done away with the need for it. After lathering up, I enjoyed a very comfortable first WTG pass with Madame Barbasol who swept away the 24 hrs of whisker growth with aplomb. The second XTG and third ATG passes left me with a bloodless, baby-smooth, face and dome. Three great shaves, and it’s time to return Madame Barbasol to her case and box after a good cleaning. After a wash of my face and noggin with the MWF brush squeezings, Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite completed what turned out to be a perfect Saturday morning shave, leaving me feeling cool, smooth and refreshed!

    RAZOR: Barbasol Floating Head
    Blade: Feather
    PREP: Cold Water rinse
    BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Shark
    Bundubeard Kameelperd’s Kick SS
    Prep ASB
    Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    A few years ago I received these Egyptian made Shark blades and they’re actually pretty good - they’re similar to the Derbys although perhaps a bit rougher, but not enough to be problematic. Now that I have two Kameelperd soaps I don’t mind using my started one more regularly and I enjoyed it so much - that awesome scent, that unbelievably thick lather, and that bitter cold menthol sensation which gave me tearing eyes from the beginning of my shave to the end. I had such a nice postshave massage with the Prep and a couple of splashes of the Krampert’s Frostbite aftershave prolonged the freeze. The scent of this aftershave is lovely but it never disrupts any fragrance I wear, especially the Chanel Bleu which is currently my favorite. I opted for three passes so I could enjoy the frigid lather to the max, and I ended up mega BBS![​IMG]
