Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the Honey Farm Designs/TGN Premium Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver aftershave.

Great shave with the Colonial General [Aluminum]. The Cella pre gel is amazing - best pre shave Jelly I have tried - very slick. The after shave lotion is also very moisturizing for a alcohol splash. Now the weird thing is that Cella decided to not give these products there classic SCENT from the soap - these products have a strong Barbershop/Cologne type of scent - so it would not go well with there soap (with there soap i only use PAA Chella Cool)...
Finally received my 30 mm YAQI brush - 13 bucks and a beast..

 

The RazoRock American Barber soap & AS splash combo is one of my favorites. Great scent!

 

Great colours.

Disappointing lather today. Too airy and without protection.
Have a great day!​

Shave went ok, the Feather Weight just didn't seem to work to well for me today. Some days are like that I reckon. To darn cold down here in SE Louisiana, only 24 degrees and it's almost noon. Brrrrrr! Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Thursday morning:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 4
Williams Menthol SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash

This Williams Menthol cream is a delight. The only reason I don't use it too often is because it's the only tube I have and I have no way to get any others. This Fougere Santal aftershave from Reef Point is one of the nicest I have - my wife has great taste. It was she who bought it for me!

 

SOTD 1/17/2018
RAZOR: Matador Toro Mastiff Largo - gold
BLADE: Dorco Platinum ST-300 - 14th use of this blade - maybe I should replace it?
PREP: hot water face wash with Ivory soap
PRE SHAVE: used bloom water on face
BRUSH: Shea Moisture Badger Brush - black badger knot.
SHAVE CREAM: The Art of Shaving - Lavender Essential Oil - for Sensitive Skin - face lather (not pictured)
POST SHAVE: Hot water rinse followed by application of CRYSTAL deodorant (deodorant stone - potassium alum)
AFTER SHAVE: Murray & Lanman Florida Water Cologne
BALM: Maison the Collection - Caramel Latte Lotion

Got a good 2-pass BBS with touchups. Not much to say - had to work a bit under the chin but it was a fun shave.

 

Excellent display of fine shaving gear.
