For Friday-essentially the same as today, but for the brush, and an interesting choice given my Clubman/Barbershop arsenal;

Brush-T\he Clubman-Pinaud.

 

Alpha Claymore Evolution / Schick Proline / Oumo 26mm SHD Badger / OSP Dark Matter Shaving Soap & AS​

 

​

 

Distler electric shaver.

1 or so pass DFS, pretty good for a 60+ year old machine. Feels good, man, but I won't convert.

Old Spice Lime.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
La Toja Shave Stick
Jayaruh #188
Schick M Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Lucky Tiger After Shave

The La Toja Shave Stick 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...

Friday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella 3 Piece/Astra Green day 14
Bundubeard On The Berg SS
Aveeno Moisturizer
Booster Mosswood AS Splash
Aramis EdT

It was a fluke that I was able to get as smooth as I did because the Astra Green really dulled out a lot and I had to struggle a lot. To cut my tough stubble I need a good, sharp blade and as a rule these Astra Greens are perfect for me but after two weeks they have to be changed. My brother Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa makes terrific soaps - his On The Berg has a very nice, sweet scent with outdoorsy notes, I believe it’s tallow based so the lather works up so thick, rich, and really slick, and it’s very skin friendly. The Aveeno moisturizer works so well as a balm and it’s unscented so it can’t disrupt any aftershave or fragrance that you use. The Booster Mosswood is another Canadian barbershop classic - do I ever love the scent. Finally a little Aramis and I’m good to go. In spite of the dull blade I still managed to get a helluva good BBS shave with no issues.

Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!
