Greetings,

Last early morning face & head shave of February 2025.

The reacquaintance to myself this month using a DE razor for my combined face & head shaves after my extended long run of using Cartridge razors has been wonderful with the King C. Gillette & Wilkinson Sword Premium TTO razor. Out of the two razors the WS TTO premium is the most efficient. However, I find the more the King C Gillette comfortable to use, especially for my head shaves...I will keep rotating both razors in future shaves.

In my March focus I continue with another two razor focus using the Parker 24C open comb DE razor for my face shaves paired together with the Voskhod DE blades.

For my head/dome Shaves, I'll be using the Parker InjRzr paired together Personna PTFE SS Injector blades.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Cien Cocoa Butter Body Lotion.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tuesday morning:

Quick shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 7
Palmolive Classic SC (from Italy)
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Hega AS Splash (from Sweden)

This morning I was kind of time framed because I have a dental appointment so I had to rush this a bit. The Italian version of Palmolive Classic is the exact SAME cream as the one that’s sold everywhere else in Europe - just the tube of this one is red instead of green, the scent is the same nice clean/soapy type, the lather is so easy to whip up, there’s lots of slickness, and it leaves such a soothed, comfortable postshave feeling. The Lubriderm moisturizer is wonderful stuff, and the Hega aftershave from Sweden has a pleasant neutral scent and although it’s alcohol based there’s no stinging or burning. Another great three pass BBS shave!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!

My friend, Cryogen is no longer the world’s coldest soap and aftershave. This Absolute Zero from Captain Nemo in Kolkata, India has it beaten although not by much. This stuff is so bloody intense that even I winced when I used it for the first time and the aftershave must be applied sparingly because otherwise you’ll suffer and I mean SUFFER.

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Tourqued Slant Razor and the Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
