Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend....Maiden shave with the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving Soap a belated Christmas present to myself i ordered in between Christmas & new year which i have only got round to try out.
The verdict?...let me say straight off it's lathering performance is superb. I applied the soap like a shave stick to my face & head.. The Yaqi Faux Horse synthetic brush created a wonderful slick protective lather in a short space of time with no issues of drying out or dissipating inbetween each pass leaving a wonderful post shave feel to my mature mug & precious swede.
Scent wise to my nose it's a classic manly 'old school' clean aquatic/ woodsy fragrance, which isn't 'in your face' but enough to be present throughout the shave...All in all, a wonderful non-expensive shaving soap of which i highly recommend. I look forward to using it again in future shaves
It's been a while since i last shaved with the derby premium blade...When i first ventured into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving i still remember the horrible experience with a derby extra blade which resulted in giving me a nasty bite i was a little apprehensive using the derby premium on my first use but after the first few seconds of starting the shave i now know if a blade is suited to my skin type the derby premium i find very smooth with no tugging issues with a smooth efficient edge, which is slightly different to it's sibling the derby Extra, however thinking back now, i'm 100% certain it was my lack of technique & shaving confidence that resulted in the nasty bite. Since then i have shaved with the Derby Extra's with no more nasty shaving experiences from them to date.The derby premium paired together very comfortably with the very efficient Ming Shi 2000s,using the lightest of touch, both the razor & blade was a smooth duo slicing through my face & head stubble with effortless ease ..A enjoyable close comfortable /near BBS face & head shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Boots ~ Freshwood ASB.

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

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

The Proraso Shaving Cream Sensitive was applied with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The days are getting alarmingly longer. And that's not enough! More sunshine...
Which pushed me to choose music that, though gorgeous and beautifully played, is far too lively for a serene and peaceful shave.

I compensated with a gear that has the flavor of yesteryear: the razor and the brush that, although modern, maintain the classic lines of the past and the bowl, recovered in a flea market, with decorations that remind me of my childhood. Perhaps because it dates back to those times.

The Blue blades are to be forgotten: those that remain I will trade, preferably for a small cottage in the south of France or in the Dolomites.

Overall not bad, but with another blade it would have been definitely better.

Saturday:

hot shower with Truefitt & Hill 1805 bar soap
Maggard Grapefruit PSO
Gillette black handle S/S 3 passes
Derby Premium (2)
Truefitt & Hill No. 10 cream
Omega boar
Thayers Cucumber WH

Nice mild three pass shave this morning. I was down to the last of my No. 10 cream so I whipped it right in the container.

Have a great day fellow shavers!

 

Du hast rechts - das ist richtig!

Nach meiner Meinung bin ich nicht so schön aber auch bin ich nicht hässlich!

Ich wünsche dir ein fantastisches Wochenende mein Freund!

Pass auf dich auf!

Saturday morning:

L’Oreal Barber Club Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 6
Proraso Green SS
Prep ASB
Proraso Green AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

These Astra Green blades are absolutely fabulous - my sixth time using this one and it still performs like it’s brand new in spite of my tough beard stubble. The Proraso Green soap lathered up rich, creamy, and slick in no time, it gave me its nice menthol sensation which it’s so famous for, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep balm enhanced the skincare, and the Proraso Green aftershave went on icy cold. Another picture perfect BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

Have a great day - stay healthy and safe!
