Too bad I missed out on that. But that is my own fault. As my old professor used to say: "De afwezigen hebben ongelijk. De stof is gekend."

Which translates to "They who don't attend class are wrong. The subject is discussed."

Oh well. *sigh*

Che bella rasatura!

 

Adoro questo sapone.
Il Rasoio è molto generico ma le lamette sono top. Io queste le prediligo alle KAI.
Il dopo barba a maschera è il massimo che abbia mai usato.

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Nacet
Brush: New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap: Barrister & Mann: Promises ( Glissant )
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..

today I dragged out my 1st ever D/E razor, the Merkur 34C HD, and although it provided a very efficient shave with the Nacet, I will be looking for a smoother blade.

 

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #188
Schick M Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Lucky Tiger After Shave

The Williams Mug 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 Lucky Tiger After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella 3 Piece/Astra Green day 12
Hega Shaving Stick
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
Aramis EdT

This Hega stick is from Sweden and it must be at least 100 years old if not more. Surprisingly enough its scent is still intact and it’s so nice - very old school and barbershoppy, it lathers like a champ after all these years, and it leaves such a comfortable postshave feeling. My friend Thomas Svensson who’s from Sweden sent it to me along with some other antique goodies which I use perhaps once a year because I want to make them last as long as possible since they’re no longer available. The Prep gave me its wonderful cooling, moisturizing, soothing care, and the Polar Ice aftershave is a Canadian barbershop classic - do I ever love the scent. Also I’m really loving the Aramis - it was a birthday gift from my aunt a couple of years ago. Two passes were enough to give me a BBS shave that was fit for a king!

Enjoy your day - be well and stay safe!

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (04.01.2022)


Razor: Blackland Vector // Blade: KAI Captain Titan Mild // Soap: Valobra Almond // Brush: RazoRock 400 // Aftershave: Dapper Dan green

A very fine shave. I have not used the Vector for a long time…do not know why. Today i was in the mood for a shave with it. Together with a soap which i use rarely. Unfortunately it is discontinued…the brush had no problems whipping up a great lather with great glide and cushion.

2,5 passes later i was completely BBS. A healthy dose of the Dapper Dan green Aftershave and i was smelling like gentleman out of the 1950´s. What a lovely scent. The menthol in it kicked really good, so it was a very refreshing shave.

Take your time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Will do it again this year. Haven't yet made out the schedule.
