If you love menthol soaps and balms as well as aftershaves then you can help but win if you use the Glacial Spearmint soap. It smells amazing, it gives a ton of some of the richest, slickest lather, and it freezes like there's no tomorrow. Its matching balm feels just as cold with perfect soothing, moisturizing skincare. A slap or two of the Snake Bite aftershave splash is such a great way to finish off. That's the setup I used this morning and it resulted in a wonderful, frigid BBS shave!

 

Thanks Doug! MWF is great stuff!

Razor: Schick G4 (1(
Lather: Cremo Origial
Brush: VDH Badger
Pre Shave Oil:Hoemade
AS: Gillette Gel/Brut Splash On
Newspaper Date: Feb 3,1944

Finally got a decent shave and my face feels so much better. After a decent lathering of Cremo, I began the 1st pass, ATG and my face being in such shape, I had to go slowly and very softly, everything went pretty well, smooth but lightly. The 2nd pass, WTG/XTG went so much better and a lot smoother. The G4 is an outstanding razor, but I still had to move with care. I expect tomorrow and after should put me back on track. Wish me luck and hope a good shave was had by all, with regard.

The G4 is a great razor. Good luck tomorrow!
Thanks for another great post Bill.

 

Times were rough back then too. Nice shave set-up Bill.

 

Razor: Gillette 85 Super Adjustable "Black Beauty” (p2) 1970 named “The Black Pearl” (5) (3)
Brush: Vintage Ever-Ready 675 badger
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Jack Black cream
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1974-1976 Scrimshaw Whale Tooth "Full and Bye"

"The Black Pearl" is out for a sail today, with a salty crew. The Badger whipped the Jack Black into a frothy lather. The Pearl is set on 5 for the first salvo against the whiskers that have invaded my face. Smooth sailing and steady as she goes with a little touchup on the right side of my neck on 3. The weight of the head on the Pearl does all the work, as it sails through the rough sea. A splash of Witch Juice, some Jack Black Balm, Jaaack......, and then some vintage Old Spice for the wenches. Based on what I've read, "full and bye" is an old nautical expression meaning that a ship is both sailing close to the wind and has full sails. Off to some uncharted waters to plunder, and pillage. Have a good one you salty dog. Arrrrrh!

I've been itching to use this SR. So simple it's beautiful, IMO. And very sharp! Got a weeper. But finished with some Old Spice and everything is right in the world now.

 

Thanks, I really needed some encouragement, kinda makes my day. Best wishes and God speed.

Beautiful brush handle, Mark!

 

I love that handle on your razor!
