SoS: July 13, 2015 - July 19, 2015

Looks great. Got to love those Red Tips.

 

I find it hard to describe - it appears to have peppermint in it and perhaps some wintergreen, but I'm not sure.

 

Oy vay - is my face ever frozen after this shave. The Cryogen soap, like the Glacials is not for the faint of heart because it's seriously-cold!

 

A certain penguin's favorite as well ...

This is my first time using MWF. I bloomed the puck with warm water while I showered and the lather was absolutely amazing. This is going to end up in my Top 10 High Performance Shaving Soaps list. The Merkur blade again did a nice job...and together the trio produced a nice shave.

A great shave. This is by far the best Barbershop Soap I've smelled.
This razor is a beauty. The feel and performance is perfect.
No cuts nor irritation. 90% of the shave was with the straight.

The razor is from www.fretzwerks.com. Cactus and Resin with brass pins.

I'm looking forward to another good shave with the LC. It's milder than the SC, which I like. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Looks good and I'm really liking this razor. Whipped up some TOBS in the OS Mug. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. No buffing today to give my face a rest. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB balm. Finished up with some Vintage Old Spice from the '70s. Let the Spice flow! Y'al have a good one!

SOTD: Sunday. July 19
WSO "Bevel"
SOC Boar (27/30)
Feather AS-D2
Personna Med Prep (4)
Creed Green Irish Tweed

Have a great day!​

 

So how is the Bevel compared to Jim's "Signature" shave soap. It was my understanding that Bevel was designed for straight razors in mind so the lather is thinner. Is the protection the same?

 

Guy,
I was able to create a thick, luxurious lather with the Bevel as I can with the Signature. I did not notice a "thinner" lather. (Maybe because I lather my soaps like there's no tomorrow)
The scent of the Bevel is barely discernible, sadly. Still, WSO soaps provide a slick, comfortable shave with exceptional post-shave results. I am trying to score a tin of Jim's Green Irish Tweed...

 

I hope you enjoy shaving with the True Rose products from SC as much as I do.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

GIT was the first of Jim's soaps that I tried along with his GIT AS Balm and for whatever reason the soap though labeled as GIT to me was scentless. My daughter stated she picked up a light scent which was a surprise as I could pick up a nice mellow scent with the ASB. I traded the GIT soap for a backup of his Signature but have kept the ASB and pair it with Malaspina GIT. Good luck with your search. I never thought I would see a Bevel so you might get lucky!!
