Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

A comfortable shave from the Gem Featherweight & Ted Pella PTFE SS duo to finish my shaving week off wonderfully...The longevity of the Ted Pella PTFE SS blades has really impressed me, normally i will retire a blade after 4-5 shaves max, but like the Schick injector blade in my previous weeks shaves i will continue to use until it starts to feel dull tuggy and uncomfortable to use.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close shave with no errors to report to finish my shaving week off on a high note!

Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Wilko Fruits Lemon & Black Pepper Body Butter.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick J
Chinese Schick Injector
CWR
Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 AS Balm

The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #425 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick J Injector Razor with a Chinese Schick Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 AS Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I don’t believe it is but the scent is true blue English Leather.

Thursday morning’s custom made Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette Platinum day 9
MSC Wintergreen SS
Prep ASB
MSC Wintergreen AS Splash

My brother Fernando is an absolute Grand Master at soap and aftershave making - he made this Wintergreen soap and aftershave specifically for me and I love them so much. They’re both a perfect substitute for the discontinued Stirling Glacial Wintergreen stuff - they both have the same beautiful scent as Rod’s versions, this soap is also tallow based, the lather churns up so thick, rich, super slick, and protective, the menthol sensation is so intense that it may be perhaps a bit stronger than the Glacial Wintergreen soap, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep felt so moisturizing and soothing along with its nice menthol sensation, and the Wintergreen aftershave is witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging from it and it’s a menthol atom bomb. Three passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave. Notice there are no labels on the soap container and the aftershave bottle!

Have a good day - be well and safe!
