Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the PAL Injecto-Matic. Excellent lather from the Arko shave stick. I finished with Old Spice. I am smooth and refreshed, enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Fatboy Friday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream
Semogue SOC
Gillette 195
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Thayers Peach WH
Florida Water
I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream face-lathered well with the Semogue SOC brush. I did two passes with the Gillette 195 Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great photo buddy!

 

Nice photo Jim. I never had much luck with Ogallala soaps, however, I must admit that was back when I was still a newbie. I always enjoyed the scents. How prominent is the peppercorn part of the equation?

RazoRock Tuscan Oud today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor/WSP Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Rapira Swedish Supersteel in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with RazoRock Tuscan Oud aftershave.

Now on to my SOTD - hope you guys like it:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 7
Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Kanon EdT

Originally I was planning to use one of my South African soaps but because it got so bloody hot here in Montreal I needed all the menthol freezing I could get. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap gave me more than enough rich, slick icy-cold lather for three fun-filled passes which cleaned me up completely BBS. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Penguin added their menthol magic which felt like heaven!

Have a great weekend!

 

They don't make many of them. Only about half a dozen so far. Keep trying!

Hi gents, always late to post my shaves ! Souvenir shave from Thiers last month :



- M.Red brush, tuxedo knot
- M.Red aluminum razor handle + yaqi head
- Gentleman Barbier shaving soap
- LPL Cedar and Orange AS

Very nice ! Bonne journée !

 

Thank you, Roby!

 

Thank you, Joseph! I don't get a lot of peppercorn in the scent. Most lime with the Bay Rum in the background. The peppercorn adds a little to the spicey scent of the bay rum.

It was my first use of the soap, and the performance was OK. I don't want to just just yet, as I would like a few more uses. Initially, though, I wouldn't call it a top tier performer, but not terrible either.

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Boots Travel BB
Soap: Cyril R. Salter
Razor: E-R 1914
Blade: Gem Blue Star CS
Post: Cold water rinse, Floid Balsamo

A great end of the working week shave.
No football (soccer) tonight
Happy Shaving one and all.
