Thank you. I've ogled Dirtybird scuttles for some time. My wife ordered this one for me this past Father's day.

 

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lime
Jayaruh #313 2-band Badger
Treet SE
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Osage Rub

The TSD Iced Lime Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Treet SE Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday:

What a Grand Freeze this was!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette Platinum day 13
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
Quorum EdT

We’re having a HUGE snowstorm today - between 15-20 centimetres of the white crap are expected but thank goodness I don’t have to go anywhere so I’m ok. This morning I enjoyed Fernando’s awesome Frosted Lavender soap so much - that gorgeous scent filled the bathroom, the lather worked up so thick, rich, and super slick, the menthol sensation froze me to smithereens, and the postshave feeling was great. The Prep gives me the best additional care of any balm I ever used, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is another menthol atom bomb with a lovely scent - it seems to pair very well with the Quorum eau de toilette. Smoother than silk but the Gillette Platinum blade is getting tired!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - CK 6 Shave Soap, Star Jelly ASB, Switchback P400 w/Omega EVO Synthetic
Feather AC DX
Schick Proline
Arabiyat Oud Al Layl EdP

Monday morning 48 hour mow down with the Feather AC DX, setup as a kamisori. Awesome results.

First use of Oud Al Layl, inspired by Joseph. It’s potent sweet flowery musk with a slight wood aroma. Spray in the air, and walk through…as it’s a LOT of fragrance.

Watch the reviews below before considering. I completely agree with the one from ACSmellsGood. Both are spot on though, no exaggeration with this EdP’s boldness.

MMMonday, Jan 17th, 2022, ASRazor shave this morning.

Razor: Everready streamline 2nd generation- Mfg in Great Britain 1949-53, upper mid range, Just eye candy for a ASR razor IMO. Built to last, heavy duty base plate, great handle. You can receive excellent shaves once you dial the streamliner in, took a while but lately I have been cranking out nice shaves for well over a year. Not a recommended razor for a newbie until you learn how to use other ASRazors IMO to fully enjoy it's shaving capability. I like to use this razor when blade count is higher also, just a smoother shave for myself it seems.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap: Speick stick, excellent triple milled soap, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi mountain lake handle, 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, perfect scrub, great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
Result: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my ER streamline with a Gem coated blade.
(It don't get much better than this!)


Have some great shaves!

You are welcome. The quality on mine seems to be where it needs to be. Hopefully your replacement head will a lot better. The brush is definitely a great looking brush and I know you are looking forward to it.

Now...if my Telstar head will hurry up and get here. (Impatiently waiting)

Take care.
