SoS: July 2022

Now if only I could get the Shulton Old Spice deodorant again….. I bought seven of them a few years ago while it was still available and I have four left besides the one I’m using.

Sunday morning’s Custom Made Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 5
MSC Wintergreen SS
Prep ASB
MSC Wintergreen AS Splash

If you’ll notice there are no labels on the soap tub or the aftershave bottle because they were custom made for me - my brother Fernando is such a soap and aftershave genius. IMHO his stuff easily competes with any of the so called “high end” brands and it beats many of them. His Wintergreen soap is a tallow based menthol atom bomb with the exact same scent as the Stirling Glacial Wintergreen soap, it lathers beautifully, it’s so slick, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep is unbeatable when it comes to moisturizing and soothing while the Wintergreen aftershave is witch hazel based like all of Fernando’s other aftershaves, it has the same beautiful scent as the soap, and the menthol kick from it is friggin lethal - so lethal that it passes the B&M Arctique. My Tech gave me another brilliant three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much. Wish me good luck with my golf games today!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!

Hi Friends,

Here is my Sunday Shave (10.07.2022)


Preshave: Grooming Dept unscented // Razor: Greencult // Blade: Gillette 7 o ´clock yellow // Soap: Mike ´s Natural Soaps Barber Shop // Brush: RazoRock 400 // Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

The Greencult is definitively not for Beginners. It is not „aggressive“ but it shaves very direct and you get a GOOD amount of bladefeel. When you use just the weight of the razor you will get extremely close shaves. For my skin it is on the limit to say „it is too direct for me“. After 2 passes with one spot to touch up i am completely BBS. With no efforts.

Mike ´s Soap smelled amazing. One of my favorite Barbershop scents. The lather is fantastic. Cushiony, creamy and the skincare is top notch.

After the shave i splashed on a healthy amount of this fine smelling Elixir. This scent is so classy and oldschool that it is a pure joy to wear just to remember the old Barbershops in where Men could be Men. Drinking, chattering and simply having just a good, fun time.

This is it for now.

Enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
B-pure Shave Soap
Bunny B-400 by Tom
Superior Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The B-pure Shave Soap lathered well with Bunny B-400 Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

How many of those barbershop-pole brushes do you have??

 

Nice combination(The Mike's and Clubman)

 

I can't believe I spelled lucky wrong-that's what my installed spell-check is for.

 

Those New Spice "Classique" deodorants-I wonder if they are very much like the Old Spice ones(it does mention 1938, the year it all began).
