Greetings,

It's also been a while since i last added the the Eco Warrior shaving bar to my soap rotation which performed wonderfully producing a slick protective lather in a short space of time.

The soap has a pleasant scent, a good texture it's protective, slick and most importantly the lather doesn't dissipate or dry out on the face in between each pass, leaving an impressive post shave feel.
An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #188
Schick M Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #188 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M Adjustable and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella 3 Piece/Astra Green day 11
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

Man oh man, I think I’ll need all day for my face to thaw out from all this menthol - was it ever intense. The Glacial Lemon Chill trio did quite a number on me - the soap’s scent is so beautiful - it’s fresh, tangy lemon, the tallow formula promotes magnificent lather that’s so rich, creamy, and super slick, as soon as the brush made contact with my face I began to freeze, but the postshave feeling was so soothing and comfortable. The matching balm and aftershave magnified the freeze. The Eau Sauvage eau de toilette is such a delightful fragrance - it’s lemony scented also and it pairs so well with the Glacial Lemon Chill stuff. Three glorious passes gave me such a dynamite BBS shave!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

Well if that wasn't a clever remark, my name isn't Paul. It was, so it is.

 

It certainly has been (too) long!
Happy New Year!

 

Hey, good to see you again Mac ,

Neglected blade trials continue. The next 3 neglected blades all have something in common… I used them once and said ‘nope, not for me’. This Merkur pack came in a blade sampler 6 years ago. Hated it. Today? It was useable. Not super sharp feeling or smooth feeling, but useable. Won’t pitch the rest of the tuck in case of shavepocalype…
Have a great day all!

 

And you, Paul!
