    Sunday Morning Shave.

    This morning I put a small amount of Shaving cream directly into the damp synthetic to face lather, dipping the brush tips in water when needed building up a lather to the consistency I prefer.

    Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

    Hi Friends,

    Here my Shave of the Day (16.02.205)

    FullSizeRender.jpeg
    Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84 // Blade: Gillette yellow // Soap: Catie ´s Bubbles Connecticut Shade // Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket // Aftershave: Witch Hazel - Pinaud Lilac Vegetale

    A very smooth and gentle 2,5 pass shave. BBS at it´s best. The Aftershave did not bite, just like applying pure water.

    10 out of 10

    Life ist good. Take your time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    b-pure Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger Brush
    Superior Lather Catcher
    Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

    The b-pure Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Salaam aleikum wa Rahmat Allah al barakatu!

    (Peace be upon you and the mercy of God and his blessings!)

    Sunday morning:

    Long hot shower
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 12
    Hamol SC (from Syria and so nice!)
    Prep ASB
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
    YSL Pour Homme EdT

    This Hamol is a delightful cream from Syria that is/was used by barbershops over there. It has such a great scent that’s very similar to Williams soap because of the citronella notes in it, a small dab on both cheeks is sufficient for great lather that has plenty of slickness, there’s a bit of a menthol sensation, and it’s so gentle on sensitive skin. The Prep provided lots of additional moisturizing and soothing while the Polar Ice aftershave gave me its lovely old school barbershop scent that seems to pair very well with the Yves Saint Laurent fragrance. Although the Wilkinson blade is getting kinda dull it still performed well enough to clean me up terrifically. Another superb three pass BBS shave that I really enjoyed!

    Wishing you all a nice, relaxing Sunday - be well and stay safe![​IMG]
